BACK IN BUSYNESS!

Well after being infected (our computer) with a VERY bad virus we had to buy a complete new system. Which was bad for our budget but is oh so much nicer - and faster! Of course I've had to re-load all of my software and stuff. I never realized how much of my "life" was on my computer! Its kind of scary. This week was pretty eventful, I was sick most of the week with a weird flu-bug and kat woke up Tuesday morning complaining that her back hurt. Of course being the "sensible & calm" mother that I am I immediately decided it was meningitis. To make matters worse I had to drive in a fever-induced delirium to our pediatrician in bakersfield who calmly informed me that our daughter was suffering from nothing more serious than a strained muscle. Probably from the "mommy&me" gymnastics class we had attended the previous day. DUH. Of course I probably would have thought of this had I not been sick. Luckily, we've had the same pediatrician for 6 years now so she knows what a crack-pot I am...LOL!
In other news on the slicer-front - Haden & Tristan are taking skateboarding & rollerblading lessons (respectively) @ Woodward and Kat and I are TRYING to participate in "mommy & me gymnastics". Of course this usually ends up being me chasing her around the gym saying things like "no..no..don't touch that...oops...be careful!....no...no...OH NO!" lol! By the time we leave I'm wondering who has had the better work-out.
Other than that nothing else really knew. The kids are looking forward to school being over (pool time!) and my next door neighbor and good friend (Veronica) had her 3rd child about 2 weeks ago. Its a baby boy and they named him "nicholas". He's a keeper! Of course now she's struggleing with post-partum depression, breastfeeding issue's, etc., plus the added pressure of being a new mama of 3 children instead of 2. Her oldest is 8 and her m iddle is 4. I told her she'll just have to lower her standards like I have and that from now on her house will look like mine! hee hee...I don't think she was comforted
