A Quick Update

Posted in Family Life

For the past few days I have not been feeling well at all - Don said that one of the guys he works with has been having the exact same symptoms that I have been having.  So, naturally, I told him that it was his fault that I was feeling so crummy, lol.

Today was a bit better - I was at least able to be in a vehicle without feeling like I was going to throw up (I know, TMI).  Anyway, took the kids to swimming lessons today (the last one for this session) and they both passed and will be going into level 4 when the next session starts up again.  When they started this session, Charlotte was in level 3 and Josh was in level 2 - so he passed 2 levels in one session, exactly what Charlotte did last session.

Don is such a sweetheart, he took the kids to Cubs & Scouts so that I could have a bit of peace and quiet - it's really nice ..... but sooooooo weird, lol.  Not sure how I will cope when they are both at Camp later on this year, especially since they will both be gone at the same time - possibly, lots of knitting will be getting done.
