grasping?

Okay I am taking a poll on a new theory of mine.

Here is the back story

Last year Sam had a "head cold" for 6 months.  We took him into the Doctors they couldn't do anything.  Until We found out he had a double ear infection and his eardrums actually weren't even moving.  I attribute all of his speech problems to this period of deaf-ness. 

This year Sam has had a "head cold" since October.  I have taken him into the Doctors at least once a month since then, including this last Monday.  Nothing.  The Doctor gave me the you are an crazy woman spiel and look.  Telling me that there is nothing they can do and that I should calm down.

I don't think it is normal for a child to be sick for half the year at a time.

So here is my theory.  I think Sam has allergies.  I had always decided it couldn't be because he is sick in the winter.  However, we live in Calgary where the snow melts every other week exposing us to all the mold in the grass. 

Sam got really sick last weekend at my in laws house.  My brother in law and his wife brought their cat with them.  I am so allergic to cats and had to take drugs (I am still extremely plugged up).  I put Sam on benadryl and it seemed to help a bit.

Am I grasping for an explanation or is it believable?  I am scared to take him into the Doctor yet again and get "the look".  I am just not content with the idea that my little boy would catch cold after cold All.Winter.Long. 

Anyways what do you think?

A series of unfortunate events.

Do you ever have those days, where it just isn't very good.  Nothing really bad happened.  You just had a series of unfortunate events that all built up to a sour taste in your mouth.  That was yesterday. 

-I had a big lunch plan to take Trevor lunch at work, but he was to busy ( it was his first day back from our trip so he was a little behind)

-an evil hag stole my parking spot at costco.  You know the one I waited 5 minutes for because Jos and I had 4 little kids in the car and didn't want to walk for forever.  I yelled at them.  It was 4 adults, all who were older than me. 

-I almost hit someone with my van because their car was hiding in my blind spot.  He yelled at me.  stupidhead

-I forgot to bake a cake for cake class
-I was late for cake class

-I burned dinner

Silver lining. 

-I got to spend the afternoon with Jos.

- It wasn't to cold outside so the walk wasn't that bad.

-I didn't hit the guy with my van

-Cake class was AWESOME.  Even though I used a box cake.  ( P.s.  I think I will always do that it was so much easier)
-My cake was still warm at class but it still worked out

-Dinner was still yummy and Trevor cleaned it all up



Steve and Jenn came over and we watch "How I Met Your Mother"
We are on Season 5.  And I still laugh at my cake when I saw it this morning.  Jenn and I were to lazy to color our icing.  So it is a white cake with a white cuppycake on top.  Really cute but a little albino.

Heart Break

Trevor's Grandfather passed away on Wed.  He was a great man.  He was loved by his family and a community.  He was a World War 2 veteran.  Trevor could tell you stories about him for hours.  He taught his children and grandchildren how to work hard. 

SJ was the first person I ever met in the Smith family.  I still remember the day.  We went for a drive up the canyon to pick up a dog.  I always felt welcomed by him. 

He will be missed.
