Weekend plans
I’m so happy to get this crazy weekend behind me. Not coming home from camping till Tuesday really threw off everybody here. We have a pretty tame weekend this weekend though. We’ll be heading out to a Kane County Cougars game tonight and that’s pretty much all I have planned. That being said, I have a few house projects I want to get done this weekend.
I’ve got two blogger friends of mine coming next weekend to stay at my house for a conference. (One is coming from Wisconsin and the other Michigan. I live about a half hour from downtown, so it doesn’t make sense to spent the night). That being said, I want my house to look good. Great, even. SO I’m embarking on some big projects. Last night I painted my outside porch. That was in desperate need of a painting. It needs a second coat still but when I’ve got that done, I’ll post a picture. It looks pretty sweet. However, I made that project twice as much work as it had to be
. I painted more white than I needed too and ended up having to paint over that. I painted the bathroom a couple of weeks ago. The problem is that even though I did two coats, it needs a third. For as much as I love to paint, I hate painting bathrooms. My third project is actually the easiest of them all. I’ve been rearranging my kitchen. Yesterday, I turned my Kitchen dinette set a different direction. I’ve got a lot of floor space in there, and I thought it was time for a change. Now, I just need Bill to move the camping totes out of there and back into the shed. Then, I can see what it really looks like or if I need to start looking at Steve Silver Company dining sets or Linon nook sets. I’ve got a bunch of cleaning and blogging to do too.
It’s only suppose to be 90 today, so I’m not sure how much we are going to get done or if we’ll just head over to Grandma’s and go swimming until baseball time. :)

I’m Sick, Your Sick, Everybody is Sick
That’s my life in a nutshell. It started Friday night when Madison left Daddy/Daughter date night after an hour, because she didn’t feel good. (Now, Will had the flu when everybody had snow days). I was at a 31 show (kinda like a purse party), and by the time I got home, she had thrown up. No sleep Friday night because well, she threw up all Friday night. Trust me, after not sleeping all night, I was probably babbling on about horse insurance services. Bill was suppose to relieve me and didn’t. Her last throwing up was at midnight Saturday night (or would that be Sunday morning). However, she is showing keytones in her urine. Now, if you read me regularly, you’ll know that this is what gets her trouble. We need to get those to 0. If we don’t keep an eye on them and they spike, we are in the hospital with her. Good times, let me tell you. I’ve tested more pee in the last couple of days . . .Right now, we can’t seem to get her out of the Small range. We sometimes end up with trace. However, she ate an entire can of soup herself for dinner and she had a sandwich for lunch, so I;m hoping that helps. If not, I think I may have to call the pediatrician, and see what to do next. She’s not spiking, but she isn’t going down either. However, today was her first day of eating real food, so that has got to make a difference. Well, Sunday morning rolled around and Bill started throwing up. I held off till Sunday afternoon. It was so bad that we sent Will to grandma’s house. There was no way we were going to be able to get him to school when I couldn’t even sit up without getting sick. I spent most of today in bed with the most horrible headache known to man. You could have sold me anything from cheap horse insurance to a brand new car if it would have gotten rid of my migraine. It was horrible. Napping actually made it worse (I didn’t think that was possible).
However, I think we are all on the mend now (I hope!). I’ve still got a headache though manageable. Madison is eating, so we are hoping for 0 keytones in the morning so I can send her to school! Will’s still at grandma’s so hopefully we can get him back home tomorrow too.
