Illness and rash

I know it's been a while. I think a new baby will do that to you. Mary Margaret is a wonderful baby. She's smiling and sleeping through the night and is such a cutie. She's got dimples, just like Charlie. My husband and I both have dimples and I have seven kiddos, only two of them got the dimples. I love dimples...they're so kissable.

I really wish I could post pictures. Hopefully I will be able to again soon. The way our computers work, my husband has everything on his computer because it is constantly being backed up since he works at home and needs to make sure that everything is good. So, we have all of our pictures on his computer. I only have a few and I think everyone has already seen the few that I have. Oh well, someday I'll be computer saavy enough to post more pictures.

Life here is drudging along after 2 weeks of illness. Six of us had strep throat and I, of course, had it the worst. It was so bad that I couldn't swallow or talk. Thank goodness we all got medicine and are doing much better, but now there is some sort of virus going around. My poor Joey woke up with a rash today also and I fear he is allergic to the antibiotic that he's been taking. And, since today is Sunday, he'll have to go to urgent care, which I HATE. You have to wait and wait and wait until you are seen by a doctor who is in a hurry.

We've seen signs of spring lately. The weather has been in the upper 40's even getting to 51 once. Tonight, however, is a prediction of snow. Too bad. Just yesterday Evelyn was commenting on how she could see grass in our yard. It will mean that the Easter egg hunt will definately be indoors this year. Only one week until Easter.

That's all I've got for today. I know it's not much and kind of boring, but I'm just trying to get my life back in order with a 9 week old. My house is a disaster so it's a cleaning day for sure.

Hello,

I started a blog for a group of us at work and decided that I really enjoy reading others' blogs as well. You had just updated and it caught me eye "This Is My Life"! You are what I would like to have done in my life. Have lots of kids and be able to home school them. What a job!

I hope someone is noticing what you are doing and giving you credit and/or helping you out.

I am a midwest neighbor in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Take care of yourself.

Pat
