Time Flies whether your having fun or not!!

So talk about a busy summer!! I can't believe how fast it has gone by! Lots has happened lately. The kids have been sick. I thought that only happened in the winter months! William started it off by having croup. Kate had croup which then turned to an ear infection which then turned into a sinus infection!!! Talk about no fun and NO SLEEP!!! It seems like every weekened we either don't get any sleep or something comes up and we are unable to catch up on things that need to be done around the house. OH! And this morning (4:00 AM TO BE EXACT) Rich wakes up and tells me something is majorly wrong with him. He was in extreme amounts of pain. So I called my dear x-visiting teacher, Marlene, to come sit with the kids and off to the emergency room we went. I can't tell you how much Marlene has done for us and what an amazing person she is. I felt so bad calling her so early but I didn't know what else to do! It turns out Rich has another kidney stone! The last one he had was about 5 or so years ago, before we were married. It felt like dejavu!! I feel so bad that he has to go through it again. I think it looks like it hurts worse than having a baby. But then again I had easy enough labors and at least you can opt for an epideral!!

Dad moved out to Maryland last weekend and we helped him pack. I can't tell you how hard it was to see him drop everything and go. We had dinner with Carolyn (Dad's Fiance) the week before. She is a very nice lady and very easy to talk to. I can see why my dad fell for her. She has the same type of personality as my mom.. as far as I can tell. They are getting married next Friday. Unfortunatley I am unable to attend. They are getting married in New York! I am pretty much flat broke right now. Ryan, Joe, and Jess are going though. I hope they take lots of pictures. Maybe I should have just bit the bullet but finances are really tight lately. I haven't had a lot of work from Tyler (Forever Furniture). However, he just gave me a new project.

I am also trying to expand my really puny business. I want to get into home staging. For those of you who don't know what that is: I would be helping people get there homes ready to sell by decluttering and rearranging there furniture, decorating, etc... especially for open houses.. if you have ever watched HGTV then you probably get the gist of it. I also want to do more Interior Design work. I am in the process of setting up a website. So we will see how it goes. I am really nervous but if I am going to be able to stay home with my kids its something that I have to do.. Besides that I love to do it! I really miss work in some ways!

Oh, and Rich's parents are getting married on Monday. We are so excited for them! They were able to buy a house and got all moved in today. We can't wait to go visit!

Sorry for the novel. I need to be better at updating this thing!
