The boys have been home from school since last Wednesday because of the swine flu. NO, they don't have it, but one person in Madison county has been confirmed and nine more probably, so they closed all schools. I am just glad that they will go back tomorrow - unlike some other systems around here.
However, that said, it has done nothing but RAIN, rain, rain since Friday. It made our work in the yard plans shot and finally, today, I sent all the boys outside, even though it was pouring. They like to take our recycling and make them into boats and race them down the sides of the street - with Davis, of course. Then they chase them all the way down and start over.
Carter has discovered a love of sausage biscuits and that is all he asks for anymore. I finally gave in tonight and made them for dinner. I'm obviously a gourmet!
I also entered Laurel into the parents magazine baby cover contest, along with 37,000 other people. Think we have shot at winning? I only did it because the winner gets to go to New York in August for a photo shoot. Although I don't know how fun that would be with a baby. I'm thinking I need to get away. I can not tell you the last time Davis and I were alone just to be on a date, (maybe January?) or the last time we were alone more than 15 hours when I wasn't having another baby. I think it was about four years ago when we went whitewater rafting with John and Amoi. Geez Louise!
Right now I would love to just go to some all-inclusive resort for 4 days/3 nights - enough time to settle down and relax, but not too long to get anxious. I do not want to tour anywhere, feel obligated to see anything since I am traveling, or cook anything - just sleep and lay out in the sun. Ah, to dream!
Laurel is alseep now and the boys are watching the movie "son of the mask" and about to fall asleep themselves on our bed. It's really been a long couple of days.....
