Weekend

Saturday we decided to go to my father-in-laws place over in Ohio. The kids and I still weren't feeling 100% but we didn't want to make him wait another week since we were supposed to go the week before. He had some things that he got for us that we had to pick up so that was the main reason for going. Brycen had fun playing with his pappy and was all tuckered out for the ride home.

The visit was alright for me. The boy scout camp doesn't excite me too much. It is actually rather boring. When Josh and I were engaged and even just married I always had homework to do when we went to camp. Josh would help his dad do odd jobs around the camp and I would sit in the office and do my homework. One of my last classes at SRU was a summer class at Pymatuming and it was a shorter drive from Rock Creek, OH than it was from Butler so I lived at the boy scout camp for a month. Josh came on the weekends to visit and we talked on the phone each day. So adding to the fact that it is boring for me, I lived there for a month and know that there is absolutely nothing to do over there. I used to go for walks around the camp but when there is summer camp going on you have to time your walks differently. Plus being one of the few girls on camp (a few were staff) I tried to limit my time by myself around camp. Some of those men who still are highly involved with the boy scouts at an old age just creep me out. Not all of them just a few. Sorry.

On a different note. Brycen's cough is starting to lighten up but Arianna's is getting worse. I'm going to continue to monitor her for one more day and if it seems like it is getting worse then I'll call the doctor tomorrow. I'm on day 5 of my medicine and am feeling alot better.

Yesterday I purchased a website domain and am slowly building my website for my auction service. I'll post it when it is completed. I figured it can't hurt anything to just try it out for a year and see if I get any business off of it. I'm not looking into anything full time. Just something to help pay for my license and to help keep my skills refined.

Today, I'm going to do a once over on the house. It just amazes me how much a house can fall apart even if you aren't here much over the weekend.

Friday!

Yay there is some sunshine today!!

We painted our living room last Sunday and the color is called Pollen Grains, which is a harvest yellow color. My living room just glows now. Such warmth! I love how much that color changed the appearance of the room that I am anxious to paint the dinning room. There is alot more work that needs to be done in that room though. We want to strip the paint off of the trim and the corner cupboard so I am going to try to be patient until the weather breaks.

Earlier in the week I did paint and patch holes in our bathroom while Josh was at work. I'm quite impressed with my handy work!

So far today I'm feeling alot better than yesterday. Two full days of meds in does a world of wonders! Brycen is still coughing so I'm religiously following up with his treatments so that we don't end up back at Childrens like we did in November. Brycen was at Children's due to pneumonia. Not fun at all! Arianna started coughing this morning so I started her with breathing treatments and just keeping an eye on her.

Fun times this weekend! Yeah! Hehehe. My father-in-law wants us all to visit him in Ohio. I really don't like going but I go anyways. He works and lives on a boy scout reservation in Northeast Ohio and the home they provided him to live at isn't the most comfortable place. Especially with kids! I'm just lucky that I talked Josh into just going for a day trip. The trip is roughly 2 hrs and I just wish that my FIL would understand that it is easier for him to visit us than for us to go to him. We have to literally pack the house to just visit. Well I shouldn't complain too much because he is actually seeing the kids once a month for the past few months. A huge improvement from the once every three months! The big kicker is that I want to see how the kids do throughout the night as well as myself. I don't want to travel over there if everyone is still not feeling so well. Plus my FIL always makes himself so busy while we are visiting and then he wants to visit when we have to leave. Oh well.

Happy Friday to all and have a safe weekend!
