TGIF!

Thank Goodness It's Friday! I think I need my "mom pay" doubled this week! I've been taking care of one itchy, irritable kid, poor thing. Caleb's case of poison ivy went from bad to worse and he has been MISERABLE! He's been home from school for three days and doped up on steroids, benadryl, hydrocortisone cream and oatmeal baths! On top of it all he's had a bunch of homework to make up and the blisters on his fingers are so huge he can barely write! He has missed soccer practice, PE and his first youth lock-in tonight so he is pretty mad. I think he's learned his lesson tho and will never return to the woods again!

Happy little Levi's had a great week at school tho! He got the Good Citizen award for his class and is starting Cub Scouts for the first time ever and an after-school marathon club and book club! And, next week he gets to take a turn on the Safety Patrol. He's so happy to be back in school again! He's one of those kids that jumps up out of bed every morning and can't wait to be the first one at the school door! Thank the Lord!

It feels a little like Fall here today with a bit cooler temps. I put jeans on today for the first time this season and it's such a relief when you can still button them from last year! Know what I mean? If Caleb feels OK after school I think we'll go watch our high school football team lose, I mean, play their first home game tonight! School, blue jeans, cooler weather, football....Fall is in the air!
