warning before you all read, this is going to be long since i am writing this to several lists. i know, i should cut and paste, but with so much to share and so little time, please bear with me. just skim over if you wish, smiles anyway, we have gotten better for the most part with this cold. my children finally are much better. anna-lynn now is able to eat and sleep much happier now. She is now just trying to roll everywhere and she loves for me to hold her handns and let her stand up and she will shuffle her feet to try to move around, smiles. she is grabbing ever more so at food and drinks now and always trying to put things into her mouth, yikes!!! philip is doing better, but still has that cough from time to time. jojo and matthew likewise. philip is glad school is almost over and matthew is beginning to recognize more letters. jojo is really learning to put words together and make longer sentances. he unfortunately cries very very very easily, but that will probably be something else for another post, wo!!!! I have been doing better. i have been sick also and this cold just seems to keep lingering on and on. evertime it seems like it is leaving, it comes back!!!! i have never had a cold that acutaly takes away my smell as well as my taste. i can't taste anything so everything tastes bland!!!! good way to lose wieght, wo!!!!! this past week has been one heck of a week for us!!!! besides being sick, baby being sick etc, we had a mess up with the toilet!!!! i don't know if one of the boys dropped something in there or if something fell in there, but thursday is when it happened. the toilet woud flush, but didn't do the tump thump sound at the end. i plunged, i poured hot boiling water into it, i threw buckets of water in it in the hopes that whatever was stuck woul get unstuck, wo!!! nothing worked. the bad thing was that it always tricked me. the toilet would flush and seem to do fine and the next time, go back to messing up1!!!! finally friday, i took a spatchula and shoved it down as far as i could, wo!!!! gosh, the things one do when one becomes a parent!!! never thought i would be the prime persom to play in a toilet, wo!!!! anyway, after a few good angry shoves, i flushed the toilet and it flushed right!!! i was happy, but i didn't want to celebrate too soon, wo!!!! so i flushed several more times and it worked. never new that spatulas could be so useful to fixing a toilet, wo!!!!! anyway, the toilet has done mostly good for the last few days!!! yesterday, we tookk the children to the church bazzoar. while we were headed there, it suddenly started to rain. that came as a surprised because they thought we would only have a 30 percent chance of rain, wo. seems when they don't expect it, it really comes and surprises one and all, ,wo. anyway, by the time we arrived, it had tappered off for the most part. it wa nice. i found a lot of good deals. i bought several shirts and shorts for the boys and a few nice things for anna. i bought a heap load of books for aobut 3 dollars. i think it was about 50 or so. these are all children books, smiles. there was a horse there and jojo loved riding and petting the horse. anna-lynn looked at the horse. we put her on it, and she began to cry!!!!! actually, it is a minature horse. anyway, we took her off the horese and tried to get ehr to pet the horse, but she wouldn't go for it at all!!!! she also didnn't want anything to do with the puppy there either!!!! i guess she says anything that is furry and has 4 feet and moves can not be trusted, wo!!!! ok, i think that is for now. oh yes, jojo calls a pony a pody, smiles.
