I'm Back!

Many of you didn't know but my computer crashed and burned. Big time. I lost ALL of my pictures. I am such and idot for never backing them up. I will not make that mistake again!! So we bought a new hard drive and I get to start from scratch. I can't believe how hard it is to go without a computer! Needless to say the last several weeks sucked!

Anyway, Melissa is due in 17 days. She went to the Dr today and is dialited to a 3. I feel confident in saying she won't last very much longer and our basement wont be done before Casey arrives. That is going to be fun. We will have to move the 4 girls into one bedroom so Missy and Casey can have their own room. All that is left in for the basement is paint and carpet. We just ran out of greens and had to refinance. When we get the cash we can finish! Also the bathroom has to be done. But we could move her down their with out that. We just ran into one problem after another.

We found a pipe had a 3ft crack on one side and a 2ft crack on the other side. So we had to rip out the drywall, that had just been textured. We also had replace out water heater. It too was leaking. Now we have LOTS of hot water! I love it. But if I find one more thing leaking I am going to freak out!

As for my kids..........they have been sick for 4 weeks! It started with Kaitlyn. She had the stomach flu 2 Monday's in a row. Give me a break! Then Ashley had a fever on Halloween and it turned out to be hand, foot, mouth. Lovely. Addy got it 2 days later, followed by Hailey 3 days later. And her fever lasted for 2 1/2 days. And just when I thought we were finished, Ashley puked her guts out all over our bed on Sunday night. So I made sure to wash all of the kids bedding and Lysol everything. That night (Monday @ 2 am) Hailey puked everywhere! She was on the top bunk and managed to spray the walls upto the ceiling, down the steps on the bunk bed, all over the bedding on both the top and bottom beds, in both shoe buckets, and the carpet. It took me almost and hour and a half to clean it all up. I sat down and cried at that point. I made Kaitlyn stay home from school yesterday along with Hailey of course. And they both stayed home today. It's only a matter of time before we start over again. And yes they all had flu shots about 5 weeks ago.

Ashley had allergy testing done last week. Poor girl. They tested her for 30 things and we are happy to say that she is NOT allergic to milk and horses. I was really worried about the horses. But she is allergic to pretty much every airborne thing out there. As well as nuts and peanuts. I love my life! I'll post pictures of her back. It's so sad.

There is another novel for you all!
