Hi, My name is Uninspired...

Well that's not entirely true.  I have things I want to blog about... I just haven't because the moment passes and any attempt after the spark just seems blah and dull.

We're all doing well-ish.  Most of you were privy to the week of sickness which resulted in multiple trips to the ER and a couple different doctors.  Briefly:  Everybody's had a chest cold/congestion/runny nose.  Beckett had some weird bite/???? on his ear that caused it to swell to 3x it's normal size (ER trip 1) and then had an allergic reaction to the Amoxil.  Sophie was playing outside and came in contact with some sort of airborn allergen that made her whole face swell and break out in a horrid rash that required a trip to the ped and the dermatologist.  While at the dermatologist he happened to notice her mystery mole (which is why we started going to him in the first place) and went mental over the fact that it's changed color and size again.  So we were scheduled for an ASAP removal (which Sophie handled brilliantly).

Ummm... I think there's more, but it's fleeting in my mind!!

M's going mental with the gardens as the lack of rain means lots of watering.  Every year she says she's not going to go crazy with the tomatoes.  At last count she has 11 more trays to plant (you read that correctly... ELEVEN more TRAYS).  And that's not counting peppers.

Oh Sophie suddenly developed an ear infection which we think is because she was on Prednisone (it suppresses the immune system making it easier to develope infections etc).  She's now on Amoxil.  It's pink.  Like PINK pink.  She's been on a red#40 buzz the past couple days and is nearly intolerable to be around.  The Prednisone made her moody now the Amoxil is making her hyper-crazy.

Sigh.

No, I'm not complaining (although I might add that Martha is on a downswing health-wise and is having trouble communicating her concerns to her doctors' respective staffs as they keep scheduling her appts for 3 weeks from now, like that will help) even though it seems like it.

Jim is off taking his final exam for this session, then he'll be off school for 10 weeks which makes me very happy!  We have gobs of chores that we're hoping to get done (fencing and starting on reclaiming the basement from the clutter demons that currently inhabit it!).

Look for pictures later today!
