Manic Monday

Well Monday has found me again...So much going on don't know where to start.

Had a very good but busy weekend. Saturday the Big Boy and I went to Grand Forks on the hunt for garage sales. We found some! Hit about 30 of them, most of them in a 4 block radius. Got the little boy his summer, and part of his winter wardrobe! The big boy and sister got some stuff too, all in all a very productive trip. Then spent the late afternoon and early evening working on flower beds. I have a love hate relationship with them. I LOVE flowers, I really try hard to make them work, but I am just not very good at them. I am hoping now that I have a little more time to tend them that they will live longer than a few weeks. We will see.

Sunday brought church and visiting with the great grandparents. I love my hubby's grandparents. They have been so wonderful to me and my children. I get sad thinking of the day there will be no more sunday treats at grandma's. But at 87 years for the both of them, we know those days are precious and limited. I am just thankful that my kids have all gotten to know them and love them. Sunday after lunch was mowing. I mowed for 3 hours and burned my face and neck mighty handily. The sad part is I am not even close to done. I have at least 3 more hours worth of mowing, weed eating, etc. before I am done.

Today I am attempting my mountain of laundry, and cleaning the house, in between taking care of my sick boy. He has been running low grade fevers on and off for about 4 days, and now his nose is permanently on run, and his cough is just getting worse, he is getting a rattle in his chest so we are heading out to the doc this afternoon to be checked. I am a little paranoid about his lungs after having so much trouble when he was so little with RSV. Paranoid maybe, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
