I said I would

And now I am. Updating that is. I finally broke down, bundled up Bruce and took him and Tessa to the store to get baby Tylenol and baby Advil. I was hoping he could fall asleep so the kids could watch him. I didn't want to take him out in this weather. His fever didn't go down, I ran out of ibuprofen and decided to go. It was only 100.9 (armpit) but still I worry. That and he was screaming! This adorable boy who hardly cries was screeching and screaming and I rocked him and talked to him and he still continued. He calmed down in the truck and at the store. I think he liked being someplace different. Already I can see how rational he is and that he understands me. Austin would have kept screaming and kept screaming and on and on... Now he is feeling much better and I have laid him down to sleep.

The template is by Veronica and it features artwork by Jessica Galbreth. Many of Veronica's linkware templates feature artwork by others; this is why they are free. In agreement with the artists, she doesn't make money off their work. She even customized the title and the main menu buttons for me. She included a blank one and I make the titles for the rest. Her shareware templates are her own creations and are great, too. But I love this one. I think fairies are great. I love Amy Brown's work so much that my husband even knows who she is and can recognize her work (and call me up from a mall in Casper and tease me relentlessly about the store with all her figurines!) So head on over there for some nice graphics, if you are interested!

Speaking of Chantz, he is in a hotel in Texas tonight waiting for the tools to be built. This part is frustrating. These tools are in such high demand by the oil field that you may not get the tools being built for you to deliver! Some guy at some other rig with more clout can come and "steal" your tools. Then you have to wait longer. When this happens though, they try to get them done even faster. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about I will explain. He delivers tools for "directional" drilling. They look like long pipes, but there are motors in them and high tech electronic equipment and computers that monitor stuff. They are slightly angled at the bottom, hence "directional". Many wells can be drilled from just one hole. This saves time and money. These motors run for hours on end and eventually break down. These are called dirties. The "hotshot" driver picks them up and takes them to the place to be repaired. This could be in many places. His parents usually go to Texas and back, but this month has been very busy for them (drilling companies have a deadline to meet!) so he has gotten to go to Texas twice. Of course, once fixed, they then need to be delivered to the rigs- which are in the damnedest places sometimes. Just that alone can occupy Chantz for a whole day! He drives a F450 with a forty foot trailer. I have gone along and sometimes it is fun, others it is boring. No long trips; my doctor won't allow it. I haven't spoke to Chantz since this morning; I figure he needs his sleep. He had another driver, but sleeping in a truck is not the same as sleeping in a bed!

I am supposed to be doing the checkbook, but I left it upstairs and I am lazy. Tomorrow, taxes. At the accountant silly! No way am I doing it. It is worth the $80 to make sure it is done right! If Alice's accountant is more than H&R Block, I will do it through them online (with a real person). I live in a teeny town now with no H&R Block! I will bore you no longer.

Damn blogger! Made me say "NO!" and Bruce hollered! Go back to sleep, go back to sleep... please.
