Thank you for your well wishes. I am thankfully getting over that monster cold, but it’s been a rough week.<\/p>\n

Yes, I did take my children to the Discovery Gateway<\/a> on Monday, as promised. They were so excited, and cleaned their rooms and even vacuumed them before the 9:30 deadline. I dragged my sorry self and a purse full of kleenex to the car, packed the kids in the car, and off we went. Luckily, I had four free passes, so I only had to pay for two of us because, Man, that place it a bit on the expensive side, don’t you think? $8.50 per person. Wow! But, anyway, the kids just LOVED it!! They played with those balls in the tubes for a very long time. They would have stayed longer if I hadn’t dragged them on to the next station. John especially liked the building zone where he could operate the little crane, and Natalie enjoyed being a letter carrier. Jenna had fun in the farm, and playing in the water, and Cole and Megan tried the rock climbing wall. It was fun to make our own little movie and comic strips, too. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, how much I would have enjoyed it if I weren’t sick. Yes, I was still very sick, and went through my whole stash of Kleenex. I had to resort to using long strips of toilet paper I pinched from the bathroom. I looked a sight, too, what with my red nose and super chapped nose and lips. I’m sure the kids and other parents were scared.<\/p>\n

Monday night Ryan went and got me some actual drugs from behind the counter<\/em> that have the actual effective ingredients in them. They worked MUCH better. I have to thank Ryan for taking care of me, and taking care of the kids when I didn’t do much this weekend. He’s awesome.<\/p>\n

Oh, and as promised, here’s just a little picture of my curtains, which are finished and hung. Unless I decide I don’t like it and start over. Don’t laugh, it could happen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
