The Winds of Change 9-25-07


The Winds of Change

Noah 040It is windy today...supposedly this wind is blowing away our summer weather and ushering in the Autumn weather. I think I am as ready as I ever will be, but the past two weeks of warm weather was really great. We got a few more trips into the beach in and this weekend we went to a local state park and hiked through the woods. It was gorgous and the greatest part was that the trail ended at a secluded little beach on Lake MI. It was GORGEOUS. We had a wonderful time. We also had two fires in our fire pit out back this weekend. That was fun...marshmellows and smores...and once the kids were asleep, some good talks for Jonathan and I. You know the kind...throw your stick in the campfire kind 
My neighbor just gave me three sets of curtains and a curtain rod. For FREE. She got sick of them and was going to throw them out. I LOVE them. This picture is of the ones that I put over our slider. It created a, "How did we ever live without these for two years!" effect. I have wanted curtains since we moved in, but didn't want to spend the money. Now I don't have to... Gotta love little blessings like that.
 Landon just told me I smell like a DoDo bird. What in the world? Where did he even learn the word "DoDo"? This weekend he told Jonathan that he needed to investigate him. Meaning. he had a few questions to ask. Crazy. Oh yes, and Sunday afternoon when not getting what he wanted, Landon told Jonathan that he was going to "Huff and puff and blow his house down." We laughed quite a bit about that one.
I took Landon to the doctor yesterday. He has had swollen tonsils for three weeks. I can hear them when he talks. They don't hurt but they are HUGE. The doctor gave him an antibiotic (he has a few other symptoms as well) and said if the tonsils are not down in 4 weeks he will have to have them removed. Please pray...I really don't want to have to deal with that.
Landon is excited beyond measure for his birthday. It is October 28...so he has a little while to wait. Everyday he wants to know how many more days until his birthday. All he wants: garbage trucks and train stuff. He is obsessed with garbage trucks. In fact, he is convinced he will be a garbage man when he grows up and drive a yellow side loader. We will see about that 
We are supposed to go camping in two weeks. Our trailer fell through...anyone know of one we can borrow for 5 days that lives somewhat near me? 
I have not slept much at all in the past week. I am exhausted.
I have another staph infection in the form of a boil...the real kind. It was the size of a dime the other night. I put my leftover antibiotic cream on it and it is going away quickly. I think I may die of staph...apparently breastfeeding is having very negative effects on me this time around. Weird. I am a very healthy person normally. Oh well...this thing hurts, but NOTHING even comparable to last time around.
Someone had a shopping spree with something of ours. A $9,000 shopping spree. Gotta love that. Pray we are not responsible...talk about being buried.
I have so much to do today that I feel absolutely buried (I realize I say that evert post lately). I better get off of here. More later if I can accomplish some of my list.
