Can not believe it!

O.K. we have all caught another COLD! It doesn't seem to be as bad as the others but man, I am tired of this! I got little sleep last night and I have to work at Coop's school today. We have had it for a couple of days so I think we are o.k. to go but it has just been a frustrating year for us. Looking back on the weekend, I should have seen it coming. The boys never say that they don't feel well, they just start acting like little pains in the butt. Then the nose starts to run and it all becomes clear to me what is going on with them. Until yesterday I was trying to tell myself it was just allergies, but then Barry came down with it.
Barry is on his days off so we are looking forward to that. The weather is definitely looking good.
Woo Hoo!

Again not much

Just wanted to give a quick update. We had a very nice Easter at Garry and Susan's. Thank you for having us. Motorcycles, egg hunts, great food and wine! Can't have much more fun than that!
Max has had WASL testing this week. He seems to be holding up well. So no worries there. Thankfully.
The weather is getting nicer! Next week we will have 80 degree weather. Man, I can not wait for that! That is the Tri-Cities that I like to live in :)
One more week until I leave for Seattle and then hop on the train with my girlie pals to Portland.
I will visit with my Grandma on Thursday and then Friday morning at 7:00 a.m. (ugh) get on the train. Friday night at a comedy show, Saturday the spa treatment, Saturday dinner and then Sunday noonish back on the train for Seattle. I will head home on Monday. I am excited about the time to myself, but know that I will miss my men. Barry is making plans to keep the boys busy so they will be happy while I am gone.
Garden update. I have carrots, lettuce and peas coming up. The raspberries got planted a week ago. Barry is getting ready to put the pumpkin seeds in the ground. The grass is growing like crazy but is looking nice.
O.K. I must move on and get my stuff done.

Nothing really new

Spring break is over and we are just trying to get back in our routine. Cooper got to go back to school yesterday. I don't think he has been there for nearly 3 weeks. His teacher missed him and had him "lead" the class back from music. He was pretty happy about that.
I enjoyed my birthday weekend. Sister Niki came and went to the job fair we had here on Saturday. She still needs a job and we are hopeful that something may come from her coming over here. We have had a few very nice sunny days but now are back to clouds and a little wind.
Irrigation is on and the grass is getting green.
Easter is almost here and I have not done one thing to prepare for it. Ever since I caught the nasty forever cold I have not been myself. I am just fatigued and for the most part I am getting sleep at night. Been taking vitamins and drinking smoothies made by Barry :) Something has got to kick in.
