life...the bug and other news....

Good Morning :)

As I sit here and type, I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I can't tell if it's from the fact that Friday morning started with this little booger throwing up......

or because later that afternoon this little one threw up every 30mins for 15hours.....

it was pitiful, just pitiful I tell ya. We haven't been hit with the bug since our kiddos were in preschool. The thought of it made me hate it, and when it hit our house, the reality made me hate it even more.


We laid low this weekend. Friday, I went to the grocery store and prepped us. Saturday, I scrubbed down the whole house and did laundry all day. Since, the last few things I've thrown up in my life took me about 10 years to eat again, I debated on filling my stomach with things like pasta, Reese's peanut butter cups, and all my other favs in hopes that if I did catch that bug, then I wouldn't crave those things for the next decade.



But I didn't, we all dined on Saltines and Gatorade for the weekend....yummy!


We are laying low one more day, to give this thing 48hours to not appear in our lives again. I will continue to do loads and loads more laundry. If any of you and I mean ANY of you have a used dryer (that works) and wants to sell 'el cheapo, then email me kcpilcher{at}gmail{dot}com. Seriously though, the heat has to come on, and the timer has to work, and it has to shut off on it's own...after the clothes are dry.....period. I will take nothing less, because less is what I have now.  This is how we are drying our clothes......

Feel sorry for us, you shouldn't. We are doing it to ourselves. If you are wondering what that thingy is....well, it's exactly that.....a thingy. No, seriously, I don't know what it's called, it came from Tim's tool box and all I know is that we play ring around the dryer knob until it reads a certain number so we know if it is producing heat to dry our clothes.


Why not just buy a dryer, you ask????? Because as soon as I curse the thing to death when it doesn't work, threaten disposal of it by the road, it ends up drying 5 loads that day with no problems, and I some how forget that it totally soured my clothes the day before.......



Actually, we will buy another one, the ol' thing has lasted us a good almost 15 years. It's time to say goodbye. We said "yes" to something back around Christmas time and since then, it seems as though things break, or unexpected expenses have been thrown our way. We have no doubt it's a challenge because of our decision, for we've been saving all our pennies for this.........

in other words........... WE'RE ADOPTING! well, we hope too, anyway :)

I have a whole post in my head and in my heart, but your gonna have to wait a few days for the full story.


Don't you love how I keep y'all in suspense.......



Think big, pray big, hope big and expect big...... Happy Monday, peeps!
