Ouch!



Sommer fractured her toe this past week! Our school had a "Reading Under the Stars" night and Sommer had to be there for Student Council. When they were cleaning up, a table fell on her foot and broke her middle toe. This is not exactly what Sommer needs at the moment. She just got an acceptance letter to dance in the Nutcracker again this year - with practices starting this weekend. And she has just begun her pointe classes (which she absolutely loves). She will have to stay off of it for at least a couple of weeks. We will go to see an orthopedic doctor next week and find out exactly what we need to do. There really isn't much of anything they can do for broken toes. She has to wear a little "boot" and stay off of it as much as she can. But other than that it just has to heal itself.

Sommer has gotten a concussion at school, dislocated her knee at school, and now we can add a broken toe to her list of injuries from school. And she's only half way to graduation!

Migraines





This has been how I've felt the past 2 1/2 days. I had an early appointment with my doctor this morning for some new meds and hopefully I'll get past this insanity!! My house is completely thrashed and I look like death warmed over. I can't stand to be sick - especially with a headache!

Fantasy Football


It's time for Fantasy Football! I love this time of the year! For those of you who don't know - I have four brothers. I grew up basically the only girl in a house full of boys. (My little sister didn't join our family until I was 13.) It was so great to be included in the backyard baseball games, boxing matches, basketball games in the driveway and soccer matches played at the elementary school. Now I'm lucky to have awesome brothers who include me in their Fantasy Football League! I've done okay for the past few years - but this year I'm gonna cream them all! Watch out, boys!

Darn Cat!


Looks like Chloe has some of my genes after all - the great "allergic to cats" gene. She spent the night with one of her friends and came back to me looking like this. I thought somebody had punched her in the eye. We figured out it must've been the 3 cats they have in their house. Thank heaven for Zyrtec!
