Playing Catch-up

Holy Moly, I feel like it has been years since I posted here. Today is the first day in a week where I feel well enough to do things other than sleep during the day. E brought home a fun virus from preschool. He was over it in three days, I am going on day 8. Unfortunately, I passed the same virus on to B. Just like his brother, he was over it quickly. I hated that he had to miss school, but I am sure his teacher as well as mothers everywhere are thanking me. Prince Charming has been the only one who has managed to escape this rather nasty bug that has taken us over. How, you ask? He was out of town all of last week. Horrible timing (he felt terrible that he wasn't here to help take care of me and our wee ones), but fortunately I had the help of my mother and sister. My heart goes out to all of our Navy friends who have to deal with this and might not necessarily have family close by to swoop in and take care of them. If my life were a tad bit more flexible, I would fly out and take care of you. I would.

While I had been feeling sorry for myself all last week, life has gone on. The biggest change around here is that we are having the exterior of our house painted. Our home has been in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint and we are loving the new look. We also plan on having the front planters landscaped. Before and after pictures to come, I promise!

Speaking of pictures, I haven't taken any pictures since the 20th of last month! Things were in such a sorry state around here last week I couldn't bother to pick up my camera much less find something interesting to photograph. This week will be better, I promise.

Another fall project that we are starting to move on is re-doing E's room to make it "The Boy's" room. Prince Charming and I picked up a few paint samples to throw on the wall. E was more than happy to help. I also grabbed a few samples for the baby's room. I have a bunch of great ideas for both rooms and I am excited to see how they turn out.

This week will end on a lovely note as we will head to my parent's cabin for a long weekend. B has a few days off of school and Prince Charming's work schedule allows for all of us to get away for some fun. The cool weather will be a nice change. Although, the weather this week has been amazing in our lovely City. 80s during the day and 60s at night. Love it. This is why we endure the sweltering summers. The chickens have certainly been happier!

Alright, enough of this random post. I am back, feeling better (save for the lack of voice) and hope to have more to write about in the coming week. Phew!
