This past week:

I've had pink eye! I don't remember ever having pink eye before - not as a kid, not ever! Now I don't have the best memory, but I really don't remember having pink eye. So I stayed home Thursday and Friday. Renee hurt her back; we're suspecting her backpack. She was out of school Thursday and Friday as well.
Nate's school called to say he was missing a Polio vaccine. Don't understand how this happened, because this is a vaccine he was supposed to have by 6 years old. Why didn't anyone catch it before? I think there was just an error in the recording. He had all of his other shots, and I remember he received his last immunizations on his 6th birthday, so what happened. Anyway, Nate, who is terrified of needles, was a champ when he went on Friday. Unfortunately the doctor we saw was near the dreaded speedway, and there was a race this weekend! There was so much traffic, and I hate traffic!! Other than that, things were pretty good.

We don't have a car yet, but it's getting closer and closer! There should be an update sometime this week.

Today we're probably going to just clean. I have to clean my room - it's starting to get junky. I've been doing good with clothes washing, cooking, and other cleaning, I've just been neglecting my room.

Also, on Tuesday, we'll have a new couch. If you've seen recent pictures, you did see a sofa and love seat. We were renting that. It was supposed to be for 2 months, but when our car started having problems, and then Lawrence went into the hospital, it drained us. When I got this job, I said I would get a couch with my first check. We'll get the love seat later. We sent the rental back on Friday, and we now have empty space again. The kids love it, because we received a shipment of exercise balls, courtesy of Lawrence's sister. THANKS, AUNT SHIRLEY! Lawrence and the kids were exercising Friday while I walked the dog, then the kids and I were bouncing from room to room with them. My legs hurt now!! The kids also found out they make great weapons. Renee and Nate hit each other with them, and Renee kicked one from under me. We'll see how long the fun lasts.

Well, my laundry stopped, I have to fold and iron. I'll post pics later.

Thanks, and God Bless!
