I pretty much have done nothing. The house is a bit out of control.
I started feeling sick with a sore throat on Monday. I was worried because I had to teach Monday night. But I took 2 advil and taught. I survived.
Tuesday I had to pick up the house because Olivia was coming. But once the house was picked up and I dropped Carson and Bryson off at kids camp for the morning. Then Devon and I sat and read all morning. I read
Inner Harbor by Nora Roberts
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Just a fun easy read for a quiet sick day at home.
I like this family of characters.
Devon read a 2nd book in a trilogy he is reading.
It was so blissfully quiet. Then the boys came home and we watched Oklahoma. I took Carson to Kung Fu and Bryson and I hung out at the park. Then we came home and Carson got Bryson into bed for me. Helped him into his PJs read a book and tucked him in.
Wed I was feeling a little better, but overdid it.
9 – go to get papers notarized for our refinance.
9:30-10:30 a much needed Target run
11:30 -2:00 park with the Hess family and then the library
3- take Carson to piano, get ice cream with Bryson (shh, don’t tell the other boys) pick Carson up, go to another library, pick up my books on hold. Go through the drive through at El Pollo Loco. Get home at 5:15.
5:40 Drive Devon to Rob’s office so he can take him to the airport, to meet with the Aviation Merit badge counselor and he also got to ride in an open cockpit biplane.
6:20 I arrive home, collapse on the couch with this book
The Actor and the Housewife: A Novel by Shannon Hale
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an interesting, fun plot. I could really relate to the housewife. It made me laugh out loud. I cried a bit too.
I was a little nervous, worried that her character would let me down, but she didn’t!
Definitely a fun read. Perfect for summer.
Carson and Bryson go upstairs to watch Scooby Doo movie. Carson then gets Bryson to bed. Then he sits and reads with me while we wait for Devon and Rob to get home.
Thursday
I was supposed to go to the beach club with the boys. Instead I sent Bryson to kids camp for the morning. Jenny was sweet enough to take the big boys to the beach club. I sat and finished the above mentioned book. Bryson is now home on the computer and I am typing this. Waiting for the big boys to return home.
I am still sick, my throat is all scratchy and I am SO tired. I am proud of myself, becuase I filled the dishwasher and have done 2 loads of laundry!

[...] Driving all the time This would explain my week. I am just glad it wasn’t last week when I felt sick. [...]
