I know I have not been posting much lately. It just seems I can't get even a few moments to get anything done, and when I do it is usually not on the computer. School is almost over and I am really trying to keep up with that and get good grades. I am contemplating taking a chemistry class over the summer. It is 4 days a week for eight weeks... I haven't made a final decision on that one yet.

Madeline seems to have new activities in her schedule daily. I don't know what I am going to do when she has homework for school every night next year?!?! We just signed her up for soccer and since I have so much spare time I volunteered to be the assistant coach. I guess no one ever taught me to say NO when I was younger.

So, my recovery from hip surgery is much slower than I anticipated. I still can't walk well and I am getting tired of going everywhere on crutches. I just want to be healthy and normal again. It is hard to pick Maddie up from school or go to the grocery store with two toddlers that think it is fun to run away in opposite directions. I am so thankful that the moms at Maddie's school are so helpful and carry my kids or chase after them when they run away. I am also thankful that Chris can get a few grocery items for me while he is on duty and even bring the groceries to our house if I need him to. :) Hey, that could be a new business, firefighter grocery delivery!

Anyway, Lucy has been sick with some fever illness... She seems to be getting better, but Ava suddenly got it tonight. She was throwing up all over herself and Chris when we were getting her ready for bed. Poor thing. I know she couldn't have been feeling good, not only because she threw up and had a fever, but because she fell asleep on the floor while I was getting her redressed just minutes after she threw up. I feel so bad for her and I hope she feels better soon... especially since Chris just started a 60 hour shift tonight at the fire station.

OK, enough for tonight. I will try to post some pics of the new playhouse we just got for the girls. The absolutely love it!
