Well baseball season is in full swing now, however, Q18 is missing a great deal of it!!! I feel like Lynus from the "Peanuts" gang carrying my ever so faithful blanket around with me and the never ending black cloud following me where ever I go and turning to dust anything I touch!!!

This was suppose to be Q18's year, more importantly, break out year!!! He started out wonderful then a week ago Friday he started complaining his body hurt. I just chalked it up to him being over utlilized with the team. We had been fighting BAD and I had no intentions of attending the game that night, to make a point, not to mention I really was not up to it with all I have been going through physically. However, he begged, he wasn't feeling good, he begged and I gave in!!

From the moment I walked up and saw him pitch I knew something was really wrong ~ it was more than he wasn't on his A game something was really really off!!! He still won the game but you could tell Q18 wasn't up to par...

Later that night, Q18 did something he never does unless he is really sick, he crawled up on the couch with me to cuddle and watch TV. He gave up going out with friends and girlfriend to cuddle with mom, yeah baby something is wrong!!!

Well long story short, he had not been out of bed since a week ago Friday!!! He went to the doctor ~ strep throat ~ med's followed by rash ~ back to the doctor we go ~ new med's and rash is a strep throat rash ~ NOT which I argue with them about. Yes I know hard to believe I'd tell a doctor how to their job but well I did!!!

Rash getting worse so is Q18 ~ emergency room visit ~ rash allergic reaction to Zpack med's which apparently stay in his system for 21 days ~ first diagnosis spinal meningitis (however you spell it) luckily false ~ he has strep throat and mono with a Zpack med allergic reaction.

He is off the mound for at least the next 2 weeks and out of school now going on his second week.

Now Prissy Princess is starting with same actions as Q18 taking preventive actions going to doctor AGAIN 4 times in a week to make sure she is okay!!

Poor speedbump he is dragging trying to pick up the slack since I still haven't been able to get back to par fighting this and that since surgery...........can I just say THIS IS ROUGH!!!

Hope everyone else is doing better than our family!!

Okay so I got tired of how my room was arranged and took on the task of rearranging it *shaking head*; now I'm wondering what on earth was I thinking!!! Let me expain ~

Our bedroom is extremely large (for those who visited our old house this room is much larger than our room there) so we have our office in our room. So I got this idea, well I have had the idea for some time, but decided to act on this idea of having a reading area along with our office. That meant a bit of moving furniture which Steve was non to happy about but once that was done it was up to me to finish putting the idea together.

I have come to the conclusion that my eyes and ideas have more energy than my body actually has since surgery. It has taken awhile and I still have some odds and ends to put up, away or trash, but it is really turning out well. The room is really open now and I have an office area and a reading area with a very comfy chair to sit and read whenever time allows again.

On other topics strep and the flu are running rampant in our house. Poor Q18 has been down for the count all weekend and is still very sick. Which of course him being his sick self has shared his sickness with me. I told Speedbump yesterday I'm about tired of being sick let me tell ya!!!

I have been busy working on the school baseball program. When I voluntered to do this project I had no idea how much it would take over our lives around here! Yet I am now happy to report it is at the printers and we should have it no later than Monday. I'm excited to see it finalized I just hope Q18 likes his ad ~ I did something different than most ~ I did a baseball diamond for him and on each base placed a photo of an important event that has happened thus far this year :).

Ms. Prissy is busy trying to find her nitch and is very excited about her upcoming photo shoot! She has been upset because of all these new photo's of Q18 poping up ~ senior photo's ~ baseball photo's etc ~ so the lady who does all Q18's photos has offered to take some of Ms. Prissy and she now thinks she is the bomb!!

As you all can tell other than life things around here are more than a bit boring! There are days I don't think our life is boring but when writing about it ~ it does appear very boring!

Well must go now med time!
