Feeling the pressure!

Crazy day here at our house. Both of the boys slept in which is great, but it makes is great a really late start. Left the house at noon for Kyle's doc appointment. We had to wait over an hour just for a room. Didn't get home until 5. I'm glad we went though. I think we all feel better about starting his remicade. They recommended 2 weeks of system clean out...no Imuran, then we will go in for his first infusion. We got to see the rooms. They look like tiny hospital rooms or recovery rooms. Nice tv with a dvd player!!

I started trying on clothes to bring to the "hot land". I realized the dress I wanted to wear had a long sleeved sweater!!!! And doesn't look nice without it. I did find some skirts and tops that would do, but don't like the way the look on. I have to take the boys dress shopping in the morning....doesn't that sound fun?!! Say a prayer that the first stop is the right stop!

Help John start packing for camp tonight....getting everything labeled. Oh my!! I wish I could pack myself in his suitcase!

Getting late here and I still have some chores to do before bed.

LOVE!

Where did summer go?

This high today was only 65 and breezy. We wore pants and long sleeves....really weird. It is supposed to be the same tomorrow, but then warm up to 80 for the weekend.

Boys and I ran errands and met Dad for dinner at Outback for dinner. Yum. Took the dogs and boys on a long walk this evening. Planted some more plants in the front. Boys and Dad played "kick the can" with about 10 - 12 kids in the hood tonight. Boys were bummed to be the first called in at 10 pm!

Kyle has appointment tomorrow with GI at 1:40 to discuss how to proceed with remicade. I'll keep you posted. Lots of packing tomorrow as well...for myself and for John!

Oh, and Kyle had a breakthrough with his division. It has been such a battle, but I think he finally got it today! YEAH!

I'm Back!!!

Just remembered how much fun I had with my blog, so I'm going to try to get back into it! First thing I have to say is that is was a simply beautiful day....high in the mid 70s, sunshine and a breeze. I met my friend Kim for lunch at Chickfila where we sat outside to eat. The boys and I then ran to Target and Macy's. They boys had Kumon tonight. John is buzzing along, but Kyle is struggling with division with remainders. We will keep working on memorizing his mult facts a little more. We transition to our new Kumon location next week. Our current one is closing....whaaaa.

Boys played outside tonight with Tim from down the street. I tried to get caught up on the Bachelorette.

Got a phone call from a Grandma in the neighborhood tonight. She tracked me down because she is sending her "live in" grandson to boy scout day camp at the same time Kyle is going. Her grandson is not in our pack and does not attend schools in the area. I have not doubt she is just using the scouts as cheap daycare which really erks me. However, I know I need to dig deep and help her out...... In a quandry..... Guess I'll head to the tub to sort it all out.
