Bits & Pieces

• Holy cow! I'm exhausted! Haven't had a full night's sleep since Thursday as Anna has the cough from Hades (literally sounds Hellish - like we're calling in the exorcism people ). It has been getting better, but now she has another UTI. Lovely.

• I didn't care how tired I was, I was going to the POTATO meeting last night. It was Spa Night!!! Yoohoo!!! The scantily clad men fanned us with palm leaves while firemen type guys fed us grapes. Ok - not really - but there was a chocolate fountain and that's all I needed to know to get me there.

• My feet STILL hurt from the Country Music Half Marathon! What the ?!? I'm using that as my excuse for only going to the gym once since the run. Hmmm...maybe I should call the scantily clad men from last night to rub my sore tootsies....mental note.

• Ashlyn woke me up this morning with a cough that sound like a barking seal. Yep - she's now sick and so am I. Who saw that one coming? Anyone, anyone...

• Trying to figure out what to do to keep the three of us sickies entertained today without having to exert too much energy. Hard to do with two VERY active 5 year olds.

• I'm pretty sure my husband ran to get out of the house this morning. I get the feeling he doesn't want to be around us for some reason. I can't imagine why..hack, hack, cough, snort.

• I volunteered to teach Vacation Bible School this summer at the church we've been "visiting" for the past year. You would think I would have learned to say "no" to requests like this since my VBS experience a couple years ago scarred me for life. This group seems to have everything very well organize. I have high hopes.

• It is slowly creeping up on me that the girls will be starting kindergarten in the fall. We went to registration and to orientation, and the girls are getting more and more excited about it. When the heck did they get old enough to go to Kindergarten!!??!! Crazy!

• I have about 10 bins around the house where I've reorganized the stuff I plan on selling at the next POTATO consignment sale and transitioned the closets from winter stuff to summer stuff. They've been hanging out for over a week and the girls are starting to give the bins names. Hmmm...I guess we had better put them up in the attic sometime soon.

• I'm going to fix me some hot tea and continue hacking up a lung. This is destined to be a great day!
