What happened to me?

Okay, so blogging every day in May was an epic fail, huh?  Actually, I forgot about blogging!  I guess we had too much going on! 

I am hopefully back now. 

A few updates:

~Emilynn had her 1 week check up last week.  Her arm is healing great.  She will get the cast off next Wednesday, and we'll go from there as to whether she needs another cast or maybe just a splint.  I have mixed feelings about that.  I honestly wish it was casted if there is any slight chance of reinjury.  She is rough.  She has hit that cast so many times on stuff or fell on it.  A splint would be so much more flexible though as far as activities go.  She has cried the past two days asking me to get the cast taken off.  I need some more (cheap) ideas to keep us busy and our minds off what we can't do- swim, go a friend's pool birthday party Sat. , etc. 

~Henry got sick over the weekend.  He was covered in hives and a rash.  We still don't know what he had a reaction to.  He also has an ear infection.  Lovely.  We really know how to keep things entertaining around here! 

~My sister and I (and my Dad, and sister's fiancé, Blake) are having a yard sale Saturday.  I have a good pile going.  I am keeping the clothes I have to sell for the bi-annual consignment sale I sell stuff in.  Clothes don't sell too well at yard sales I've found.  This all means I have 3 different piles of stuff going, and I'm working on getting my shed organized once and for all.  That will be an accomplishment!  Once that is done, I can move stuff out of our bedroom and get it painted and organized and re-done.  Everything is taking so many steps!  I will be glad when it is all finished!! 

~I am going to TRY, try being the key word, to get up early and exercise before Dustin heads to work.  I have got to get a better morning routine going!  We are being bums!  I guess that's allowed when school first gets out.  I can see that we need some of the structure back though that school provided.  I have to figure all this out! 

~I went to cousins Morgan & Dylan's t-ball games Saturday.  Oh my goodness-it was so entertaining.  I loved how it was set up and the coaches were so positive.  It really moved fast too.  For a split second it made me want my kids to play there.....but only a split second.  I could not drive that far (45 min) every Saturday morning!  Although all 3 of my kids, plus Morgan & Dylan would be on the same team!  I thought that aspect was neat. 

~Our garden is still not planted.  It is really nobody's fault and so many things have factored in to the delay.  Last night over dinner we decided to scrap the plan for the big garden, and just plant the 28 tomato plants we already have in a small patch by the house.  We went and got the tiller from my father-in-law and got one row tilled before the tiller broke.  So, back into the house went the tomatoes, and back to my father-in-law's went the tiller.  We are on plan C now, which I don't know what that is!  The kids asked and I said it was probably to just buy Hunt's tomatoes!  It definitely was causing Dustin & I too much stress!  We will see what we do next! 

Well, I have lots of housework to do.  It never ends around here!
