A few bullet points
On how we're doing / what we've been up to the past few days:
* The kids enjoyed their sleepover with their cousin last week.
* The car got fixed, to the tune of over $500, sigh.
* Isaac's first Little League game of the year was scheduled for Saturday but got postponed by rain to Sunday. Then Sunday the field was still wet so they postponed it again. So they will play their first game tonight, weather permitting, knock on wood, etc.
* The Cambridge Community Chorus, including me, sang Beethoven's 9th in concert yesterday. I thought it went pretty well and am glad it's over.
* All that standing in place (for the concert and dress rehearsal before it, etc.) has really messed up my back. Am debating whether to tough it out until my chiropractor appointment on Friday, or try to get in sooner. This morning was particularly bad. When I can't even put my socks on, that's pretty pathetic.
* Today is the first day back to school for the kids after 10 days off, and boy were they grouchy about it. Okay, we were all grouchy. ;) Also I may fall asleep at my desk.
* Isaac's rash is still itchy but he says he has "gotten used to it" and refuses to use the prescription cream.
* Ruthie somehow managed to sit in a hive of mosquitoes(??) or something, and developed itchy bites all over her legs and butt and lower back. Her solution to the itchiness, because she doesn't like cortisone cream/calamine lotion, is to cover the bites with bandaids to prevent herself from scratching. We are now all out of bandaids and her lower body looks like a mummy project gone wrong. *eyeroll*
