1. What a week! It's been a rough one. It started out rough and has only gone down from there. There were some stressors, some missing important documents that had me turning the house upside down in their search. However, that was only the beginning of the week, and the rest of it was draining and difficult. Much of this has been due to the fact that Eliza has had a combination of a virus that has given her high fevers, a sore throat, and aches and pains and irritable grumpiness as well as a rash on her poor little bottom. She's been a very uncomfortable girl. The virus basically has had to plague itself out, and we think she may finally have beaten it. Unfortunately, we are going to have to call the doctor again: we've medicated the rash and it looks much better, but there are some other things popping up that have us concerned. Poor kiddo. I'm sure she's as ready as I am for her to be healthy again!
2. We had a nice Mother's Day: I got to enjoy church, listening to two missionaries we support whom I know (or have known) personally, lunch with my sister and her family, and then my parents joined us for dinner. Nick grilled the whole thing and I simply did the accompaniments: steak, grilled corn on the cob, and seasoned potatoes roasted in a foil packet on the grill. We'll have to do that again. We also enjoyed watching the movie Red with my folks. You always know my dad's really into a movie when he has an outburst reaction. Case in point: there was a sudden appearance (someone jumping out with a weapon) and Dad yelped and jumped a little in his seat. You know he's into it when he does something like that.
3. Eliza and I got haircuts today. Sadly, she didn't enjoy hers as much as I enjoyed mine. In fact, she was so grumpy today that she cried through hers and barely let the stylist make sure her cut was straight. I, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed mine and am loving the shorter 'do. I might try to finagle Eliza into taking a picture with me and we'll show off or cuts.
4. The computer in our bedroom, where I do most of my writing, reading, and definitely uploading my photos, has crashed. Nick is going to have to reload Windows and our Software onto it. Which has seriously messed with my attempts to get back to my Bible-reading blog. And also really messes with my ability to load photos onto this blog. Talk about frustrating. Hopefully it will be up soon. I have plans.
5. Planting starts in the garden tomorrow. I'm totally excited. I would post pictures of that, too, except, well.... See the above note.
Have a good weekend, folks! After my week, I'm hoping to have one, too.
