I had to post this new work that Hazel did the other day while waiting for me after school. I just love her drawings lately. -Jen

Poor, Poor Me

On Sunday night I wasn't feeling good. And I went to sleep and woke up because I like, wasn't able to swallow. And I was sobbing like crazy. My mom told me to sit on the couch until 9:00am because that was when the Doctor's office opened but then she called the doctor and they said to go to the Urgent Care right away. They said that we needed 2 adults in the car, one next to me and one to drive, the adult next to me was 'posed to make sure that I was breathing okay. And the doctor said that if we didn't have 2 adults that we should call an ambulance. So we had my mom sit next to me and my dad drove. And my brother was sitting on the other side of my mom. So when when we got there me and my mom immediately went to the desk and it was funny because the person at the desk thought I was a boy but then I walked towards my mom and she saw that I was a girl. Then they asked what our last name was, blah, blah, blah, you know all that stuff that they ask you. When they called my name me and my mom went into the office, I had to lay on this bed, they took my blood pressure and all that stuff, weigh me and then they told me that I had to gargle something that made my throat numb and after I had to do that 3 times they stuck a needle in my arm and there was a little tube attached to it and they put the medicine into the tube except for one. They gave me one shot in my leg, they had to put it right into the muscle and that actually calmed me down, except for the leg part.
They found out that I had a really severe case of strep throat. I think that if I didn't have a severe case, just a normal case then I would bearly be happy because I like the regular medicine ( you know the orange kind), but this time they just gave me the medicine in a shot in the muscle of my leg. When we got home I took a nap because one of the medicines that they gave me was a pain medicine that made me really sleepy so I took a nap for about 2 or 3 hours. When I woke up my mom gave me some medicine that tastes like bubble gum. It has a really strong flavor.
I'm feeling better now, in fact we actually had some ice cream today at Molly Moon's. The reason we were at Molly Moon's is because I was delivering our Girl Scout Cookies and we couldn't resist the ice cream when we delivered the 50 boxes they ordered from me.
Have you had Molly Moon ice cream? It's so good. My favorite is the Scout Mint and the Theo's Coconut Kiss mixed together. You should try it some time, but call me when you go so I can meet you there!!

P.S. I drew that picture. It's of me in the rain. It's a beautiful sunny day so it's not me today.

Don't Know What to Say

I don't feel good. My body. I have a temperature. I've been watching movies and TV and sleeping. My daddy went out and brought me back a whole stack of movies, he brought me 2 Pippy Longstocking movies and Enchanted and the Nightmare Before Christmas and Bolt. I love Bolt. I watched Meet the Robinson's and Pippy Longstocking On Board. I took a long nap in the middle of the day because my mom talked to the nurse and she said that sleeping would make me feel better. I am sleeping downstairs because I'm sick. I really love sleeping in the bed downstairs. It makes me feel better. My mom is going to sleep down here with me tonight.
I don't know what else to say.


**Jen here. I waited on the phone for over an hour to talk with a nurse this morning. After answering her questions she was lead to believe that Hazel has the H1-N1 virus. We're so happy to have the room downstairs so that she can kind of be away from the rest of the family. She's pretty sad but the movies are keeping her spirits up. She's been drinking apple juice and water and wanted some re fried beans earlier today.
The nurse said that the fever could spike up to 104 and that we should call if it goes higher than that (duh). So far her fever has only gone up to 101.
Poor baby girl.

Hair

This picture is from when my cousins Zane and Audrey were visiting and when I still had my tooth but what I reeeeally want you to notice that that I have curly hair! And I know you're probably thinking, "Why would you want me to know that?" well, because on Sunday I had a little beauty treatment and now my hair is STRAIGHT because we ironed my hair!!
First I took a steamy shower, then my mom brushed my hair and used a blow dryer on my hair, which we never do, so that was a special thing. Anyways, after we dried my hair we ironed it and it took a lot of minutes.
So after we dried and ironed my hair, we went to a store called ULTA and gone some nail polish, the kind that isn't shiny. And then we painted my fingers and toes. The colors that we got are purple and light green.
I thought that day was a great, great day because I got the beauty treatment and it was just a really great day. Now I'll show you the picture of me when I have straight hair:
