I know that it has been a few weeks and really that has been because there is really nothing new to talk about. I know that "Everyday is new" and that "New things are always happening" but really it has just been same old same old at my house.
Last week we were all sick. 1st it was Rachael on Aug 31st, then on Labor Day we went over to my parents house and swam and had a good old time. I mean it was over 100* outside the pool water felt more like bath water and the girl was shivering cause she was cold. The only reason she came with us was because she didn't have a fever in the morning and had stopped throwing up and said she felt fine. But apparently her temperature went up to 102* and she was cold in the water as the result. I had her get out, she took a shower and then she proceeded to curl up in my parents guest room and went to sleep. The next day Jenny was throwing up and had a fever, 2 days later Michael was throwing up with a fever, later that day I was throwing up with a fever, then still later that day, after the kids came home from school Destiny was throwing up and had a fever, then the next day Rick was throwing up with a fever. Thankful it seemed to have skipped Julia.
That was all of the excitement that happened to us so far, My throwing up was so forceful some of the blood vessels in my face broke and it looked like I had freckles for about a week all over my face, and down my neck. But I was the only one who had a problem with it.
So this week we have all been trying to get back into the swing of things. I have been seeing everything that needs to be cleaned. (Which is everything, but at least everyone has had clean clothes to ware) I have been wanting to get some cleaning done but I am stumped as to where I should start. I have issues with my sleep schedule being wonky so I lack the energy I need to do it and I am sick of relying on caffeine to give me the energy I need (cause let's be honest it is 50/50 weather it gives me the energy I need or not) So when my husband comes home and notices that all that was done was laundry and dishes he get this little look of disappointment. I don't even think he realizes that look is there, but it is. The other day my Visiting teaching companion came over and sat a folded my laundry while I finished frosting the cupcake for a sister in our ward who's birthday was that day, she was only sitting there for about 7 mins.and in that time she got an entire basket of laundry folded. I don't really like to fold laundry, I hate it actually, it seems very tedious to me and take me forever, then my kids just toss things out of their dresser on to the floor. So I will wash a ton then when I have no more baskets left ask my kids to help me fold. I was completely floored when she folded all the clothes in a basket that would have taken me at least 20 mins. to fold and folded it in like 7 mins.
Anyway I have more close to go wash and a kitchen to clean up after I made banana bread with chocolate chips in them.
I have dishes to wash, clothes to clean, a baptism dress from my best friend's baby to make, and a house that needs cleaning to stare at with unconcealed confusion about where to start. Wish me luck!
