what a week!

What started out as a promising looking week, turned out to be not so great after all.
We had a fun time at Avila Valley Barn with Auntie Stacey & Eli on Tuesday. Maddie's favorite thing was stomping in every mud puddle she could find. She could care less about the animals!


Thursday we had pony pictures in our parent participation class. Maddie wasn't super thrilled about getting on the pony, but was ok if I stood by her. We had to leave early from our class so I could get in to the doctor to have this spot looked at on my neck. It just kept getting larger & larger & now it hurts. I'm concerned that it is another staph infection. They did a culture on it & started me on antibiotics. I have to go back in on Monday to have it rechecked & get the results. I don't want to go anywhere-it looks soooo ugly!

Thursday night, our black & white cat, Lucky, didn't come in. That is not highly unusual, but we still haven't seen him. So we're thinking we have lost yet another cat! :(

Friday, Maddie has another cold. I think it's round 3 of those for her! Poor thing. The antibiotics that I'm on are making me pretty nauseated, so I am kind of useless. Maddie & I did a lot of laying around together. Michael is doing everything-driving the kids to & from school plus trying to work on top of it! What a guy!

Another disappointment for the weekend is that my oldest brother Thom, was going to be taking a photography class over here & stay with us for several days. But he called on Friday evening & he has not been feeling well. (He passed his 2 year anniversary since he was diagnosed with cancer about 2 weeks ago! Praise the Lord!) I sure hope he gets feeling better soon. We missed having him over here & getting to spend some time with him. Darlene & her sister Patty are over also. We are hoping to get to go to dinner on Monday night.

I think I'm finally getting used to the antibiotics, other then feeling sleepy with them, I'm not nearly as nauseated, so I actually got out on the computer tonight & am posting this! Yeah!

Wow! Sorry about all the things that have gone wrong this week. Hope you get over your infection soon. Hope your kitty comes home too! Love you, miss you, we're just busy with harvest. Did have some rain though, so nothing getting done for a couple days. We are supposed to have our first frost tonight. Cole had a FB game yesterday in the COLD rain. Miserable.
