Well, almost all of that is true. It’s not really pouring, it’s just sprinkling. Perfect kind of rain for bringing up the flowers. It would have been better if I had taken a few moments this past weekend to spread some grass seed in some spots where I had removed the moss from. Oh well, it’s early in the spring season. Hopefully I will have at least one more good chance to plant the seeds.
Dan is snoring and it’s only 4 in the afternoon on a Monday. Not normal, but just a sign of the sickness that is again running rampant in my home. I don’t know if it’s just our family that is so susceptible to this stomach bug, or what, but I hope that this is the last time it goes thru our house. It started with my mom getting sick late in the morning on the day that she was watching the girls. I figured that by time she had called telling me that she was sick, it was already too late. The girls would either get it or not get it. Obviously, they got it. Emma threw up Thursday night after she went to bed. I had a church meeting at night and I could smell it when I came in the house. It was NOT pretty and I felt sick as soon as I had finished cleaning her and her bed and started the many loads of laundry that were to follow. Poor thing has been on antibiotics for an ear infection that doesn’t really seem to bother her, but it didn’t go away with the mild antibiotic the 1st time, so we were kicking it up a notch. The best part is that augmentin causes some NASTY diapers and butt rash (which really didn’t even start until yesterday, which was her last day of antibiotics). She did start eating again yesterday, so hopefully that helps to firm up the diaper contents, if ya know what I mean. ;) Kylie started throwing up on Friday morning, but she takes the whole thing in stride. Not that she LIKES having an icky stomach, but at least she can make it to the bathroom and not make a terrible mess. I thought that we were in the clear on Saturday, but Kylie threw up again Saturday night while we were out on a date. The babysitter handled it SOOOOO well. She cleaned everything up and even put sheets in the wash machine and folded the clothes that were in the dryer. And if that wasn’t enough, she also made sure all the dishes were cleaned and the house was picked up. She spent the night with us, but I was certainly shocked that she was still awake until midnight when we got home. She has babysitter business cards, but I’m not sure that I want to pass that information out. She is probably one of the most amazing 13 year olds that I know - she LOVES kids and can handle ANY situation. Thanks, Bethany!!! Oops, I can’t believe that I just let that slip. ;) Anyway, Sunday was a day for everyone to stay home (except for me, I had church duties) and get better, except for Dan. He decided to take a nap in the afternoon and woke up feeling sick. I sure am glad that I didn’t take a nap. :)
Not much else going on around here. We’ve been enjoying the beautiful weather that we have been having and have been outside a LOT. Working on the yard and just plain playing. We gotta get our yard in shape so that we can start getting the boat ready this year. Spring brings a lot of work just so that we can enjoy the summer. It’s a good thing that summer comes and we are able to enjoy the beautiful weather and the lake. I’m hoping to be able to take the boat out more often this year. Gas prices are supposed to be lower this year, so we won’t have that excuse for not getting out on the big lake. I’m also glad that the girls are getting bigger and hopefully will be more fun to have on the boat and go for rides.
I said that I would post some pics, so I am going to try to upload them now. But, I’m not sure how many I will get on here, because my laptop seems to be sluggish and I am downloading some music. Not sure how well my computer can do two things at once. Enjoy the ones that I am able to post and have a great week!
Alright, I am sick of waiting, so that’s all you are gonna get. I still have to take a pic of our front entry system and post those, so I’ll try to get that soon. TTYL
