I am sick, again!!  I finally went to the dr today, after trying to act like i was fine, although I’ve barely had a voice for days and have felt miserable.  I didnt want to accept that after 10 days of antibiotics and two days of feeling ok I got slammed with the same thing or something very similar again.   But the dr gave me a stronger antibiotic and said it should take care of it.  I took  Dean to work late after my appt, after going to Walmart with the three boys to get things we needed, I decided to put off the trip to Sams although it was next door because I just couldnt do it.  I was falling asleep driving and felt horrible.  I picked up my prescription the way home, tried to get the kids some lunch and called Dean and begged him to find a way home to save me from my misery. His boss brought him home, I was amazed in fact that instead of saying he calls out too often or something similar he gave him a ride.   Dean said he’s very accepting if it’s a family thing.   Dean took the boys outside for the afternoon, Caleb even went swimming next door for a while while I slept.  I woke feeling not as tired but still as crappy.  We all went to Sams to get what I hadnt earlier, that was an adventure, but really the kids do great when we are out, it’s just trying to get the same things everyone else was getting on a holiday weekend was nuts.   Dean’s downstairs playing a game with his friend and I’m getting ready to crash again after doing the chores I put off earlier.

I hope this antibiotic kicks in soon or I wont be a very good travelling buddy for Dean on Sunday.  We’re driving towards Ohio, to meet my MIL about halfway so she can take Caleb to stay with them for a week.   Next Saturday we’ll go back there ( Dean’s decided Washington PA is about halfway)and spend the night at a hotel and  make a weekend of it and come home on Sunday.    I was excited that it’s so close to Pittsburgh, we might head there if we can find touristy things to do.

Caleb’s school has a summer program that starts that following Monday, the 1oth.  he’ll go for four weeks, four hours a day.   A friend of his who we’ve been going to let him play with on our street is going to so that will be good for him.  I wish the family didnt live so far up the street from us, it would be nice to just be a house or two away but it’s a whole block away almost.    But still, it’s  a friend Caleb’s age.  The boy was in Caleb’s preschool class, and the other day he, his elder brother, and father went to the park with us.   I asked what the age difference was in the boys, since they looked so close in age, they were just 11 months apart!   I was amazed!   So, Caleb plays well with both of them, but the one is a year ahead in school, if he had been born a year later though they all would have been in the same grade due to the new end of Aug. birthday rule.  since the one child was born in Sept. and the other August, so if the dates hadnt changed the brothers would have been in the same grade, that would be strange!    But I’m off topic, point is, so Caleb likes hanging out with those boys and they live on our street so it’s good.  It was funny, we all went to the park with them the other day and while talking to the dad he said he knew Dean, that he used to ride bikes and play together.  the guy has lived on our street for 3o years, albiet in his own home now.  he lives a few houses down from his parents.   He remembers Dean and I knew his parents did but Dean didnt remember them having lived there when he did, he still doesnt.  I thought that was funny.  So this guy, who Dean played with as kid, is hanging out with us as their boys play together, I thought it was pretty cool.  Kind of made me wonder if we should stick around, but I dont think I want my kid to live in the same place for 30 years, I want them to travel at least some!   but it would be cool to be able to say in 30 years, hey remember so and so, I used to play with them and you grew up playing with his kids and one day maybe your kids will do the same.  It’s interesting to think about, but I dont think it made Dean reconsider moving too much!

I’m heading to bed, busy weekend ahead, I’m dreading it just because of how crappy I feel.   but my house is clean, a house I am proud to say appraised for a good , ok great amt.   we’re excited about it and even more anxious to talk to a realtor in hopes that we might get close to the amt it appraised for but give or take a few thousands would be fine with us too.   It’s just the whole whether to put the hosue on the market and worry about the job working out, or waiting for the job and then hoping the house sells by the time we need it to.   that’s my fear, that it wont sell.   So we’re going to do some home repairs with some of the money from the refinance in hopes of helping the house value a little, not to increase the value, to make  it a little nicer for selling.   but right now i need sleep…lots and lots of sleep….or at least  a nice comfy bed and a cool drink for my sore throat.   I think I’ll catch up on whatevers been filling up our Tivo.
