My Garden

Well, fall is right around the corner and I wanted to get some pictures of the plants that I had this year before they were gone. Here is one of a Hollyhock that started growing in the alley. I really love the color on this one and I gope it comes back next year.



This is some morning glory that I planted alond the cement fence. I was never able to get it to grow before and this year, alot of it grew. I was very happy about that!!

Another day.

So we never made it out to mom and dad's. Sneezer woke up and refused to eat anything in the house so it was not possible to leave anywhere. But luckily, grandpa came by and dropped of the saltines crackers and grapes that she was saying she would eat. Thanks Dad!!

So everyone is well today. I woke up yesterday with a terrible sinus headache, but after taking some meds., it went away and we were able to get to the library as planned.

Well everyone is complaining to go somewhere so I suppose I should get dressed and take them out. I do have to get some stamps to get some bills sent off anyway. So until next time!!!

It's been awhile...

So I know that it has been awhile since I have posted, so I am just going to do a quick update on things. We have this weird illness going through the house. I dont know what it is, but other people I have talked to have had it too. My neighbors and my sis-in-law's family. It is just a fever, nothing else. A fever and body ache that comes and then goes after about 24 hrs. You dont feel like eating or anything, just sleeping. The problem is that Sneezer caught this and she has not eaten much for over the weekend and her blood sugar has dropped and it made the fever turn into vomiting. I just dont know what to do. She knows that she needs to eat something, but the thought of food just makes her feel more ill. So far it has hit 3 of the kids, all but Da. I dont know if I was ever sick, b/c well I always feel sick and a fever, well I just dont know if I ever had a fever.

Well we have been helping mom and dad with their weeding and yardwork every monday. We should be off soon to go and help, but Sneezer is not eating anything and I would hate for her to get sick on the way there.

Father-in-law came over on friday and replaced the pipes and faucets to the shower. All was good, we were sitting in the bedroom watching "Akeelah and the bee", (good movie) and then suddenly I hear water running. First thing I went to the bathroom thinking that the water started running on its own, then I realized that it came from the basement. OMG!!! I went down there and there was water spraying everywhere. I quickly shut the water off and called hubby. He called his father and then was on his way home. I cleaned up the water with my Floormate and waiting for his father to get here. Turns out he forgot to put glue in that section of pipes. Hmmm? Well at least it was warm water coming down and not cold, b/c I had to run through the spraying water to get to the off thingy. Fun times!! Well that is one way to get the basement floor cleaned!!! LOL!!!

Well, I need to finish tidying up the house and then we are going. Until next time!!
