Been Down For the Count

It was my goal this month to post more often but I haven't done too well have I?

I have many things to say but some medical issues have kept me from doing much of anything lately.

I have had some testing done and awaiting results. Nothing too serious and certainly not life threatening but basically trying to find some answers as to why I've been so darned fatigued. Not "I have 4 kids and life is crazy" fatigue but "walking to the mail box is too much too handle" fatigue. Anemia seems to be the obvious answer (especially in light of all the bleeding that is going on. What? TMI?) but some blood tests that have already been taken have come back suspicious.

So, here I sit, with huge bruises on both my arms from all the poking and prodding but other than that, things are good.

With the kids out of school, summer is officially here. That's the only way you can tell, the kids being home. Certainly not from the weather!
Oh, and I know summer is officially here because of this:




Plus this:

For those of you that have not had the fun of little boys (and girls) playing outside for hours on end, this is the "foot brush" that sees alot of action during the summer. And the kids are very ticklish too!
