Well, I am trying to do better.  I don't have much to blog about, but I can at least recount the last 72 hours! 

Well, to start with, we had a bit of stomach bug to go through out house last week.  It was one of those deceiving type, where you think you are better but your not.  So, we were on high alert, and bland diets for a while. 

Thankfully, we made it through 48 hours of noone getting sick, and so we felt safe to take a mini-trip to a town not far away.  The hotel we stayed at had a heated indoor pool that was very nice.  The children just wanted to swim all of the time.  They had such a blast, and we really enjoyed the time with Dad. 

Well, we decided to eat lunch at a New China Buffet type place.  Rachael decided to try all kinds of things, including clam.   Sure enough, by that evening she was having stomach pain and nausea.  It also concerned me when she broke out into a rash.  I then decided to give her a phenergan, and let her sleep it off....for by this time it was 3:00am.  Today, she had some more tummy troubles, and was pretty weak all day. Quite odd to me!

Our neighbors invited the kids over to go to the mud hole (go 4-wheel riding), and they also got have cake an ice cream that was left over from a birthday celebration.  They came home with lots of stories to tell.

I have mountains of clothes that need to be sorted and packed away.  It is that time of year where some days are down right hot, and then some are cool.  Very frustrating!!!

Hopefully,  I will soon figure out how to post pics straight from my camera, and be able to tell about a massive hair ball the LilyGator managed to get in her hair! 8-O
