It’s been quite a week.  Kids have been sick and that’s kept us trapped inside all week.  Both finally seem to be feeling better.  DD acutally ate something today.  Just trying to keep up with laundry was a nightmare.  I’d finally almost done that when a jar of concentrated food coloring gel got into the dryer and nearly destroyed all of the kids clothes.  There are still some stains, but at least everything isn’t peach colored any longer!

I’m so hoping that all goes well and I can get to the gym this week.  I joined so someone else can watch the kids while I exercise, but I’m not going to take them there when they’re sick.  And I’m tired of hearing my sister-in-law complain that my mother doesn’t take care of her kids enough.  Every time I talk to Mom at least one of the girls is there!  Well, not every time, but at least 4-5 times a week.  Right now my Mom has to take my father to the hospital 3 times a day for treatment and she is still expected to watch the girls so my brother and his wife can have a night out.  I guess my biggest problem is that they willing do this to my parents and that my mom complains about it but does nothing.  I know, totally off topic, but it is a stressor in my life.  I live 1000 miles from my family and yet I seem to be the only one who cares about making my parents life easier.

Anyway, I’m off to pick up all the fallen branches in the back yard.  Hopefully my daughter will enjoy being outside as well.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.
