Back to reality
8/10/2010 07:28:00 PMLast week was wonderful! We had so much fun doing things as a family...getting out of the house...relaxing and spending time with loved ones. We ended up going to the Science Center, Zoo and Kennywood Park! We spent 2 days just hanging out outside and catching some rays by the little blow up pool in my parents' back yard. We grilled good food. We even took my 21-year-old cousin out for drinks and Denny's (one of those 2 am jobs!) one evening. It was everything I'd hoped it would be! It was pretty close to being the perfect week - as perfect as you can get with 4 little ones to deal with.
Then . . . on Saturday . . . we got a summer flu!?!? Maybe it isn't a flu...maybe it's just a cold or whatever...but I had 2, 11-month-old babies full of snot and screaming with low grade fevers who were unable to breath through their noses and had a heck of a time drinking bottles because they refuse to let me use the "boogie sucker" to help clear them out a bit. I also had a 4-year-old with a sore throat and sniffles who hadn't gotten enough sleep and was being really cranky. The 3-year-old? Eh - she is actually ok...(knock on wood)
With all that going on OF COURSE Jerry left this morning for his business trip. The trip that had been postponed so many times I was pretty sure he just wasn't ever going. Nope - he's gone. He's staying 2 nights. Tonight being the first night...it went a lot smoother than I expected. Actually, the whole day went pretty smooth...but I'm exhausted. I mean just completely beat. I was planning on a longer blog post with great pictures and more details...but I'm getting a sore throat and just don't have the energy...so here's my favorite pics of the week.
Speaking of pics...do you have a facebook account? If you do, would you pretty please head over to Sofabean Photography and vote for my daughter in a photo contest? I would really really appreciate it! All you have to do is become a fan of Sofabean Photography and then "like" her picture on the site! Thank you SOOO much! :)
