I blame her ears. &nbsp;It would seem that she doesn&#8217;t really respond to the pink stuff. &nbsp;It&#8217;ll knock out the worse of two infections, but not the lighter one which just keeps getting worse, until we end up back at the doctor&#8217;s office a week after finishing the antibiotics. &nbsp;Not fun. &nbsp;SO&#8230;since we&#8217;ve done 4 straight days of the pink stuff and we still need ibuprofen to sleep&#8230;I just called to get the white stuff now. &nbsp;And we&#8217;ll all start sleeping through the night again every night&#8230;I hope!<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8230;lions and tigers and bears were loose in Zanesville. &nbsp;Of course, we were in Cedarville when it happened. &nbsp;But it&#8217;s kind of weird to watch stories about your area of life on the national news. &nbsp;And for something as red-neck as that, of course&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8230;Megan has learned a TON of stuff. &nbsp;She can tell you what a duck (qua), a doggie (oof) and a cow (mmmmm) say. &nbsp;She can point to her belly, head, and feet when asked. &nbsp;I am certain she called for her favorite toy (&#8220;ah-oo&#8221; = where are you?) when we asked her where it was the other day. &nbsp;When you say to &#8220;love (someone),&#8221; she&#8217;ll either blow a kiss, complete with a &#8220;mwah&#8221; sound, or give that person a big-ol&#8217; sloppy kiss on whatever part of their face she first manages to touch. &nbsp;She danced the other night when Erin was singing, and she can do some of the motions to &#8220;The Wheels on the Bus&#8221; and &#8220;Only a Boy Named David,&#8221; among other songs. &nbsp;Basically, this kid is amazing the snot out of me&#8230;though I admit that I&#8217;m totally biased&#8230;and it kind of scares me what she might come up with next.&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"whatevah\" src=\"http:\/\/s.xanga.com\/images\/whatevah.gif\" alt=\"whatevah\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This week&#8230;I have almost completely reorganized my kids&#8217; clothes in the crawlspace. &nbsp;Each box now contains only one gender\/size, plus a box for outerwear\/hats\/gloves\/etc and a box for clothes made for us, mostly by Grandma Hogue. &nbsp;And I found some clothes I had been missing. &nbsp;I still have to pull out some of the clothes from Megan&#8217;s room to drop in the appropriate box, as she&#8217;s getting ready to move into 12-18m clothes. &nbsp;But my basement is cleaner, my crawlspace is organized better, and my ability to find what I want is now greatly enhanced. &nbsp;I LOVE bringing order to chaos! &nbsp;It makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p>Which makes me wonder&#8230;this week, what makes YOU happy? &nbsp;Feel free to share!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8230;Eric had to fly to CA for a class. &nbsp;He was gone from Tuesday morning until Thursday night. &nbsp;He doesn&#8217;t really like to travel for work. &nbsp;And then the class wasn&#8217;t terribly useful to him. &nbsp;Not really a great &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/2011\/10\/21\/this-week-2\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
