Sun Burn and Other Tales

Yesterday I returned from work to 3 little crisp children.

I can blame the sitter, but I really can't blame the sitter, since my sister-in-law did the same thing. I gave her the sun screen, I told her to make sure they put it on several times, but I guess people just don't believe me when I tell them that my kids burn very easily... because... let me tell you... they are crisp!

So, no lake today.

If they got anymore burned... they would have blisters.

That's ok, they can swim in the kiddie pool today. My brother mowed the lawn, unfortunately, it's not really low enough for my At-A-Glance, dog poop removal method. But he has promised me that he will mow it again on Wednesday... and as long as it gets mowed twice a week... the kids can play freely in the poop free backyard! I will be going out there in a few moments to remove any debris that may have "accumulated" yesterday while I was at work.

Thursday I am taking my oldest to a ENT (Ear Nose & Throat) guy. This is on the suggestion from the allergist after the last late night "croup" incident. She is specifically asking the ENT to look at her vocal cords to confirm there isn't any problem there.

All of the kids seemed healthy when they went to bed last night... except my middle daughter whose rash has resprouted... another reason for staying away from the lake. She doesn't seem to have the rash problem in the kiddie pool, or in clorinated pools... so no lake... 3 days!

Well that's about it. I'm preparing for an Office 2007 presentation tomorrow. 4 hours of training an IT department on the changes in Office 2007 as they rollout office 2007 upgrades for their end users. I'm pretty happy about the assignment, since I like that kind of stuff!

OK. gotta go
have a great day!

Enjoy the next 4 weeks... because summer is almost over!
