As usual, starting with the lows first so I can end on a positive note. :)
LOWS:
1. Ugh, I'm right on the verge of being sick. It's a bronchial/cough thing. Could be worse. I have not thrown up (sorry that's gross) since I was last pregnant, which was like 7+ years ago. But I had morning sickness so bad with both of my pregnancies, that every time someone in the house gets sick like that, I pray to God and tell Him that since I threw up (sorry again) so much when I was pregnant, surely He could spare me from having to do it any more. I think He understands & agrees, because it's been 7 years...thank you Lord! :) But anyway, not feeling well, I slept till 9 this morning, which some people might see as a good thing, but even on a lazy Sunday, I do not like to sleep so late. (Wow, that was just one huge run-on sentence. Terrible! Sorry, Mrs. Bell.)
2. My Dog Has Fleas. And so do the cats. And it's been Rachel vs. The Pestilence for a month now. I can see an end in sight, but let me tell you, I will NEVER blow off "preventative treatment" again. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever again. A few tips I've learned:
- Dawn dish soap is actually very effective as a flea shampoo.
- Sprinkle Borax on the carpet, leave it sit overnight, and vacuum it up in the morning. Kills any little buggers that may be (gasp!) in the carpet.
- Our animal shelter gives prescription flea meds for only $9 a dose.
- The people at Petco are beyond clueless. I have no idea how they get jobs there, but it's not for their knowledge of anything related to pets, I'll tell you that!
HIGHS:
1. Since I've last posted, my kids had their birthdays - I'm now the mom of a 7 and 9 year old! And they are the funnest kids ever! They decided that they wanted to have a birthday party together. So each one invited 5 friends, and we had a big party in the backyard. It did rain a little that day, but after about 15 minutes of total anarchy in my house, we decided to take it outside (it was just a drizzle) anyway.
