Ok I am sick of this..... headache! I have had a freakin' headache since Monday evening.... it sucks. It comes and goes - but when it comes - it is bad. I have taken all kinds of meds and they all kinda take the edge off but then it comes back full force! Now I have a sore throat to go with it! I hope we aren't all getting sick. Steve still feels like shit. He went to the dr. again today. The dr. this time told him that he had the pnemonia bad and it will take him 3-6 months to feel better from it. Shit - that is a long time. But at least we know that now. Piper has snot coming out like crazy but yet is stuffed up and has a cough. I can't believe it's summer and we all have cold like stuff.

This week has been busy.

Monday first day back to work - that drove me crazy in itself. Then Monday night we had our neighborhood association meeting. It started at 700 usually last maybe an hour. Well, we had a guest speaker from Wane TV come in and talk about the digital tv change coming in Feb. and alot of the neighbors that attend the meetings are older and they had lots of question. The WANE TV guys left at 800 and we still had a meeting to finish! I got home at 845. I had taken the big kids with me so they could go to the library(meeting is at the library) They are always asking to go to the library - this time they got to go for awhile! Piper went to bed alittle better that night.

On the potty training note for Monday - the sitter tried it with her in the morning. She had pee pants 3 times that morning. I think she understands - but maybe not really.... she has only gone in the pot like 2 times so she hasn't really had the experience and knowledge that that is what she is suppose to do. I think if we keep working with her and get her to potty in the pot all scream and dance around - she will think that is pretty cool and get it!

Tuesday night was National Night Out. I hope you all went to your neighborhood events. At our neighborhood we have a little something at the firestation. We just have snacks and pop and each kid can take a little toy. Last night was a decent night out and we had quite a few people attend. I know some bigger areas have cookouts and stuff like that. Usually we have a clown there to do balloon animals but we ran out of time this year. Still it was a nice evening.

When I got home from that Piper needed her bath and bed. I got that done and I was done. My freakin' head was killing me. I headed for bed. While getting ready for bed I discovered a couple of things.... you know women - we remember how we left things and how things are suppose to be. When I went to put my clothes in the hamper I noticed that someone had rifled thru the dirty clothes hamper. WTF? I came downstairs to ask the big kids and Riley just looked at me like "HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT" He finally admitted that it was him looking for socks. Well, as I explained to him - that is dirty clothes - not to be worn until they are clean again.... I think the big kids learned that I am not maybe as stupid as they think I am. No wait they are teenagers - they still think I am stupid.

All day and tonight I still have the damn head ache! I just had a normal night of laundry. My nice husband had laid out steaks in a marinade for us to eat for supper tonight. That just wasn't going to cut it for me tonight. I talked him into getting pizza from a place just down the street - they have a 6.99 one topping pizza. Pretty cheap. And then he grilled up the steaks for us to take in our lunch tomorrow! Good Lunch!
