no, i'm still alive.

i absolutely can't believe that i have let myself go this long without blogging. it's probably the first time since i started it that i have gone two weeks or more without updating anything. well, as usual things have been crazy and somehow the time just got away.

during these past few weeks lela has taken her crct. she was a little nervous about it. why i don't know? the child is extremely smart. she just amazes me especially when it comes to math, she loves it! i will say that i'm glad that is behind us. she has also had field day as well as a block party at school that entailed everyone getting to jump and slide on inflatables, watching movies, eating popcorn and even playing games all during a not so typical day. (i don't think i even had anything like that growing up!)

then last sunday evening after many, many months kevin's grandmother passed away peacefully. by the time friday arrived i was coming down with a sore throat and not feeling quite like myself. comes to find out i was running a fever and by this morning had decided that i needed to head to the minute clinic. i somehow had a feeling i knew exactly what i had and yes, i was right...strep throat. i hadn't had it since i was a kid and obiviously had forgotten how painful it was. at one point it honestly felt like i was swallowing razor blades. never in my entire life i so wished i could take a shot of pencillin just feel somewhat better, but when your allergic to it sometimes you just have to suffer through the pain.
