Sick, sick, sick...

We have got some sort of stomach virus.  Georgie came down with it first, then transfered it to Uncle Jonathan, who gave it to me, and then I gave it to Tanner, and now Reagan seemse to be coming down with it.  That leaves Kate, but today she was saying that her tummy did feel right, so I'm not sure how long she will hold out.

Other than that, our days keep rolling by.  I still have to make bread, granola, breakfast, lunch, dinner, do the laundry, go to work, clean the house, teach violin, study, change diapers, give baths and all that good stuff.  Tanner has to go to work, study, mow the lawn, fix the house and sleep.  I don't know what we would do without Jonathan.  Today, he tagged teamed with me and changed a couple of diapers and handed out drinks and snacks.  Of course, it doesn't seem like much when I write it down, but I am so thankful that he is around to help pick up some of the slack.

Today was one of the gray, rainy days that are so familiar to Northwesterners.  I pulled on a pair of pants and a sweater this morning, but after a mere 1/2 hour, I felt sticky and hot, so I changed into a t-shirt and jeans and finished making the granola.  An hour later, as I wiped my brow, I decided to open the windows to let some cool, fresh air inside the house.  Imagine my surprise when a blast of hot, sticky air hit me.  I checked the sky, and it was still cloudy, gray and raining, but it was HOT.  I closed the window, turned on the air conditioner and found some shorts.  When I checked the weather report this afternoon, it said we had a high of 89.  It never stopped raining, and if the girls hadn't been sick, I would have let them play outside with their rubber boots and bathing suits.
