True Colors

It's unedited and a bit sloppy looking but I love the colors. I don't have enough time right now to work with it (sick Little Pirate and oldest needs a ride to work) but I will later. The colors are true! The sky was amazing that day! Plus, I got to feed my Flag habit...lol!

Update on my 'List of 5...'

Well, if you read the following post you will notice that on my list of '5 Things on my to-do List', I have noted that I need to take my two youngest sons to the doctor. Oh, my...

Mr. Rebel (the 9 y/o) has a sinus infection. Normally, this isn't anything unusual but this time he has such severe pressure in his ears that he hurts all the time. I hurt because I can't just make it go away!He and his little brother are taking the same antibiotic, now. Luckily, he can go back to school tomorrow. He HATES missing science class!

Little Pirate (the 6 y/o) has a sinus infection AND severe bronchitis! It took the doctor less than 3 MINUTES to get him on a breathing treatment after hearing him COUGH! She ordered an X-Ray to rule out pneumonia. Thank goodness his lungs are clear. He has to do breathing treatments every 3 hours for the next 7-10 days and cannot return to school until next week.

We were at the hospital for over 4 hours and then we had to run all over getting the nebulizer for the breathing treatments, lunch, and the prescriptions for both the boys. Needless to say, I am tired, the boys are exhausted and I still have to fix dinner. The oldest needs someone to ride with him up to his girlfriend's house and I didn't even get to work on the house today.

Happy thought? My boys are still able to laugh and play together, no matter the amount of medication that they must take.

My life.
