Course, it tis a family blog thingy. Y'all know what that means, don't ya? Oh, I do. I'm gonna warn you all right now. Dana Lynn is a powerful saleswomen. She will have you talked into posting on here before you can spit. Just sayin...
Which is as it should be. Not everyone in the family can pick up the phone to spend a few minutes catching up with the going ons in everyone else's life. Yeah, that'd be me. Work, blogging, babies, sleep...
Now, you all can peruse family news via the web. How twentieth century...
Sooo...
Here's the my little bit of bidness..
Last Wednesday, I got a call at work from Tonya. Her opening greeting was "Who in your family has seizures?"
Uhh, nobody that I know of..Why?
"I had to pick up Makayla from school, and now she's had another seizure. And we have to take her to the hospital for a head X-ray."
"Ok, call me when you know something."
So a few minutes later, I was telling my supervisor about the call, visibly upset. She told me to go on and leave. Thankfully the day tech hadn't left work yet, and was willing to stay and cover the rest of my shift.
Ya know, I've decided I really don't like hospitals. Got the head X-ray done, dropped off a urine sample. I leaned over to kiss her and guess what? Yeah, her fever was back up. Tonya decides since we are already there at the hospital, we'd just stop by the ER.
Alrighty then...
Needless to say, we are there for hours. And hours... The admitting nurse had to give her some Motrin for her 103.1 fever before we go back to the little cubicle. Another urine sample, a cat scan, and 2 doctors dropped by to chat and we sit. 6 hours later, the diagnosis is bladder infection, but since there were the fever induced seizures, call the neurologist the next day. Now I've just been informed that the scheduled visit on Wednesday is to include a MRI and EEG. Hopefully this will find nothing wrong other than she is prone to those little seizures when her fever spikes.
On to other news from my house... Work has slowed down considerably. Yup, never would have evisioned that especially since the housing market is in such a slump. So last week we are notified that our schedules are changing. No more work on Sundays thru the end of the year. No more overtime. Y'all know how screwy my schedule was, it's even worse now. No more 7 days off. Just 6. Even that is subject to change if someone has a vacation day, and I have to cover it. I have to take another day off during that same week. Sheesh!! Enough to drive you to drink...
Speaking of which, Am I hosting the sleep-over? It's fine with me. If you will, bring your pillows and blankets. I don't think I had enough last year for everyone. Not that my house is cold, but I don't want y'all to get a chill.
And now it's Thanksgiving. Did everyone get my little email? Ok, so maybe it was a tad bit long. I like to talk. Anyways, dinner will be served around 2pm on Saturday the 22nd. You all can bring side dishes besides the green beans and mashed taters that I will be making. We are having Ham and Turkey. I've gotten a few return emails detailing this...
Jennifer is bringing whole cranberry salad, and broccoli casserole. Jodi is bringing carrots or sweet taters, and a tossed salad. Sissy is wanting to make the dinner rolls. She sent Robin a email requesting he pick up the soft drinks, water and ice. Susan, haven't heard from you, but I sorta kinda thought maybe you would bring the dessert. Course I'm gonna be making those cow patties for you all to fight over. Momma hasn't said what she wants to bring. Neither has Beth or Kathi. But I'm sure we will have enough food to feed an Army.
Oh, one more thing, since I'm cooking, someone else will have to clean the kitchen... House rules, ya know?
You all can call me or drop me a email. Better yet, post it on here!!!! Tis easy as pie. Hope everyone is doing good. Can't wait to see you all...
Much love, hugs and kisses from my house to yours.

sounds good. I have a bone to pick with you, though. You NEVER told ME about Makayla. I've talked to you at least three times since then.
also, I told uncle robbie to just grab a couple of sodas if he wanted to and I'd grab the ice and water if he wanted to switch with me.
See what happens when I work too many days?
Actually I think it's that 'old age' thing creeping up on me. My memory aint what she used to be...
SO I'm sorry I didn't call you. I count myself lucky that I even got a call.
Hey all! I love this site! Now maybe we can all keep up with each other a little more. I have time to type seein how as I work on computers all day...I'm just not allowed to have my cell phone at work now.
Anyhow...Thanksgiving I will bring whatever is needed. Once we hear all that is being brought, let me know and I can bring whatever.
Let us know what you all find out about Makayla! My girls said they send hugs and kisses to all! Love you all!
Nice to talk to you all. Sorry to hear about Makayla. Hope she gets better soon.
Well, everything is good in the South. Pierce is growing big weighing in at almost 12 lbs (if not already). Sorry that we will miss Thanksgiving. Hopefully we'll be there for Christmas. It all depends on Mikie's schedule.
Pierce is going for his 3 month pictures tomorrow. When they are reading for viewing, I will post the web site. talk to you all soon!
Love Kristi
Do you know how much time I have spent just trying to get this far on this here blog? And that's not counting what Sarah did for me just getting my account set up? Anyways, I thought I'd join in the fray. So glad to see everyone is doing fine. Kristi, this ole auntie could sure use a picture of the newest generation.
I hope everyone's rested after the election and some semblance of routine has returnd. I would like to admonish everyone to buckle their seat belts cause we are going for a ride, the likes of which have not been seen since Adolph Hitler made his rise. Anyways, more about that in days to come. I can't wait to see everyone at Thanksgiving, Nan, do you want me to cook this ham or bring it to you for your fine touch? Let me know. Anyway, I have been at work since 8 this morning (mandatory meeting) and I'm tuckered so I'll catch you all later. I am 4 loving you all.
Ok.....the pictures are up. go to www.photographybykristinpate.com, look for my name and the password is pierce. He's sooo cute. There are some of me that make me look HUGE but it was just the shirt that she had me put on.
