The Sick House.....Again

Easter day was nice and then everyone got sick! I had pictures planned for the kids for the Monday after Easter and Cassidy woke up throwing up so I had to cancel. I rescheduled them for Wednesday and then Spencer was sick, reschedule again. Should of known better but I didn't and I schedule them for Friday and Cassidy ends up with pink eye. So I called to cancel for the third time that week and the photographer and I laughed about it and I decided that I will call her this week on a day that everyone is feeling great and hope that she has time for us. I'm now shooting for Friday because it will be warm and a nice day and I just hope it works out. Of course Cassidy is still fighting her cold and today is Wednesday so we'll see. (fingers crossed) Wednesday is library day for me and Cassidy for toddler storytime and crafts and we had to stay home since she's been sniffling and coughing. We missed it last week to take Spencer to the Dr and he was home from school that day sick. And I got a call from the school on Monday afternoon to pick up Brenden sick from school. I was sick with a 24 hour stomach virus on Sunday and Richard wasn't feeling too great on Monday. So now I've been wiping down everything with sanitzing wipes and spraying lysol everywhere. As soon as I get the pictures done I'll post them. The kids really looked cute in their matching Easter outfits. (Have you ever known me to not match them?)

Julie vs. the wasp

I got stung by a wasp twice yesterday just as I was getting ready to go jogging. Spencer was ready to go on his bike and I was getting the stroller out of the van and bringing it up the driveway when I felt the first sting. It felt like hot embers falling on my neck and shoulder. I thought it was a dragonfly or something crawling on me and I told Richard to get it off and it just kept getting worse. By this time I'm dancing like a fool in the driveway and screeching saying get it off it hurts and he found the wasp in my hair. By the time it was all over, which felt like 10 minutes but in actuality was probably like 30 seconds, I had been stung on the back of my neck and on my shoulder. The neighbors were grillling out and a lady across the street was outside so I'm sure they were laughing their butts off at me but hey, it hurt!!! I know not to swat at them but I didn't see it coming and I didn't realize it was a wasp on me or I would have not been flailing my arms around wildly trying to get it off. I've had no allergic reaction to it so I'm ok. So there's your laugh for the day because I know as you sit reading this and visualize the dancing and screeching in the driveway you were totally laughing.

Bespectacled Julie

I got glasses last week. This is the first time in my life I've ever had to wear glasses. I've noticed lately that it was harder to read things from a distance so I went to the eye Dr and was told I am nearsighted. I also noticed that sometimes my left eye would get a bit blurry and I have an astigmatism in my left eye which is why it gets blurrier on me. So here is a picture of me with glasses.
