* Feeling a bit sorry for my kids. They're on their third random infection in three weeks, this time, hand, foot and mouth disease. We've been to any number of places in the last two weeks where we could have picked it up, and sadly, where we could have passed it along before I figured out that those little bumps on Jack's knees were not bug bites. I've already called all my friends and apologized in advance in case their kids get it. In taking the kids to the after hours clinic in Geneseo today, we discovered the HF&M on both the boys and that Robbie had a double ear infection. At least that explained why the poor baby has spent the last three days screaming non stop. Felt like a bad mother that I brushed it off as teething instead of excruciating ear pain. We had planned to celebrate Robbie's birthday today (Sunday) so the girls could attend. However, not having had HF&M, they opted to (wisely, I think) stay away. So, Robbie will be having small just immediate family on his actual birthday. Hopefully, the are all on the mend now.
* Two major bone headed moves in less than 24 hours. We saw a woman we know out for ice cream the other night. She looked like she had something under her eye. I looked TWICE and finally told her. I was trying to be polite. My new rule is look four times and be sure it IS NOT a mole before embarrassing myself. Secondly, even though I have a good 32 years of experience in the sunburn department, at an unplanned pool party Saturday, I doused my kids in sunblock and THOUGHT I'D BE OK as I spent two hours (unwillingly) in the pool with them. Hello, genius. I have a personal SPF of 1. I have scars -- mental and physical -- from bad sunburns of yesteryear. I NEED SUNBLOCK. Did not apply. Paying the price. Ouch.
*Bob's on vacation this week. I think he has grand plans to do some writing, but frankly, I hope he sleeps the whole time. He is so sleep deprived, I'm always afraid he's going to fall asleep behind the wheel one day. So, I hope he just hangs with the kids, exercises and sleeps. I may resort to subterfuge to get him to do so. Our only grand plan for the week is one day at Seebreeze. Other than that, sleep, Bob, sleep...
* My camera battery is dead and Bob's memory card is full. Sorry for the lack of photos.
