Goings On...

I have recovered from my Birmingham trip, finally! I am not as young as I used to be ;) I came home to a house in disarray, and sick children. It really falls apart when mom is gone! My sister is doing great and the baby is a doll. He is so sweet and good, and she is picking up the mommy thing like she was born to it.. I knew she would, she has a ton of experience with my babies and Lola. Lola on the other hand is not so happy with the new addition. She may have to come visit her Aunt Leisa for a long visit..

Maddy and Liv had some allergy testing before I left for Birmingham and I went in to get the results today. Liv has absolutely no allergies, however the doc thought she had pneumonia, and after a breathing treatment decided it was more likely bronchitis. Maddy is allergic to Nettle, Pecan trees, Hickory trees, and dust!! All of these came back with a high allergy?? Hello where did she even get exposed to Pecan trees? So anyway the doc wants us to rip up carpet in her bedroom and put down hardwood (I am assuming not hickory or pecan wood floors). I guess that is what Santa is bringing for Christmas ;)

Ethan has bronchitis and sounds like he needs to be hooked up to the ventilator. He has had a fever on and off and a wicked cough. It feels like I am working on the pediatric ward over here. You gotta love the first year of preschool ;)

The weather has been fabulous!! I have had the air off for 2 days and have been outside alot. My chickens are also feeling good and wanting to be very, very chatty. I think since the windows are open they can hear us and like talking back. That totally stresses me, however I have decided to not worry about it, and if code enforcement comes, they come...

The neighbor boy next door got in a big fight with his live in girlfriend and so I got a show while doing laundry this afternoon. I felt a little dirty turning off the dryer so I could hear exactly what was going on, and then ducking when he looked towards our house. But it did break up the monotony of laundry. And such colorful language from a highschooler!!

I am taking a teacher work day tomorrow. My house is a complete and total wreck and I cannot live one more day without order. So my kids are doing a service project tomorrow ;) Help keep mom out of Lifestream project!
