Katelyn is doing a lot better. No fever for over 24 hours now. The inhaler the doctor gave her Thursday is really helping with her cough-she was having pretty bad bronchospasms and they are much less frequent now. Still a little pale, but definitely improving. I listened to her lungs yesterday and the air flow is pretty good now, although there is still some crud in there. She should be going back to school Monday. I am very relieved to have life get back to ROUTINE. This week has been so stressful. Oh...and a cute little snippet I wanted to share and forgot to when I first wrote about her pneumonia...when we were at the urgent care, the doctor told Katelyn he wanted to listen to her lungs. She's like, "Why? I don't smoke!" The doctor and I just laughed. I don't know. It doesn't look as funny when I type it. Guess you had to be there.

Now that Katelyn is getting back to normal, I am looking at my three day weekend and my house that has become quite a disaster while I have been tending to Katelyn this week...giving ump-teen backrubs, pounding on her back to loosen up the crud in her lungs, getting her a drink, giving her her medicine, cold washcloth for her forehead...all of those mom-jobs. Guess what I get to do today? Yep...clean the house. Oh, joy. How can I put a positive spin on that? I know...at least I have a house to clean. There.

I have been on facebook for a week or so now. I have gotten about 60 "friends", and it has been interesting to look at people's profiles to see what they look like and what they have been doing for the past however many years since I last saw them. That part I like. I also like some of the goofy quizzes you can do on there. They are entertaining when I feel like doing something mindless. Other than that, I am still faithful to blogging. Facebook doesn't allow you to know people's lives like blogging does. It is so great to be able to read everyone's blogs, know what all my nieces, nephews, and other little friends are accomplishing, and hear about the stresses and joys every one of you experience. It allows you to share your life with me and almost feel like I was there. Thanks to all of you that take the time to share your lives :)

Last night we had my mother-in-law's retirement dinner. She has taught school for quite a while now and I think that she is very happy to be retiring. I am jealous!!! Only 25 years to go for me...slaving away. Anyway, we had some family come into town for the event...had a nice looooong table at Famous Dave's...love their food. Was great to see everybody. Jenny Kay, you were missed!!! We love you!
