Lazy O Farm -- Field Trip










Daniel's preschool had a field trip to the Lazy O Farm in Smithfield, NC, today. I decided that, not only would I chaperone the trip, I'd take the whole day off from work and then Raelee could go with us, too. The kids had such a blast!

House of Pain

Welcome to the house of pain, where every member of the family suffers from an illness. Raelee has allergies and a constant, clear liquid dripping from her nose. At least she's happy and a good helper. Daniel coughs in his sleep, coughs watching TV, coughs while getting dressed, did I mention he coughs? At least he's a morning child and loves to get up and get ready for preschool. Joshua has a cough, left arm pain, hives, and no one knows what's causing any of it. After a round of blood work, x-rays, an EKG, etc., the doctors' have both responded, "We don't know what's wrong with you." He gets to take antibiotics "in case there's a small infection somewhere", allergy medicine, cough syrup, and whatever else makes him feel better. At least he got a check from the General Contractor so his electrical company can still afford payroll! DeAna is now post-bronchitis with a cough that won't go away. At least she can still work and the fever that lasted 4 days hasn't resurfaced. Did I miss something? Did we move our house to the Bermuda Triangle?
