I HATE RAGWEED!!

The ragweed this year is kicking my hind end up and down! I am so sick and miserable from that pollen. I feel like my head is going to explode and everyone around me is tired of saying "God Bless You!" I have slept off and on for most of the day despite all of the goings on around me.

This morning was Hannah's homecoming game. I was up all night sneezing and trying to breathe, so I missed the first half. I felt so bad for her. She wanted both of her parents to escort her when they introduced the cheerleaders and players. I did go out there at halftime to watch her perform. I stayed for the rest of the game, but I am now regretting sitting outside that long. The things we do for our children!

Here are some pictures of Hannah today:

Here is a video of their halftime performance. The dance part is only half of the dance. They didn't have time to learn the entire dance before today's game.

After the game we had lunch and then the kids' friends showed up. They all went swimming (except for Hannah....she had to leave shortly after they got here) while they still can. We are going to be running out of warms days soon.

Chris took Hannah to a classmate's birthday party and her friends stayed and kept swimming with Matthew and his friends. I took a nap after Chris got home. Apparently I missed a lot of stuff while I was napping. The phone rang several times, kids were in and out of the house and another friend even came over. I don't know when we became the "Kool-Aid Family", but there always seems to be kids over here lately.

A few hours after Hannah left, I took Austin to a classmate's birthday party. By that point we were down to only one friend over at the house. It was Hannah's friend, Josie, waiting for Hannah to come home, so we just took her with us to pick up Hannah.

Hannah is now over at Josie's and I think she is going to spend the night there, so we just have to boys tonight. I know, you are asking, where is Rebeckah? She is at our church's middle school retreat. She also took three of her friends from school with her. They will all be home tomorrow afternoon after church.

It just started raining! Maybe that will knock the ragweed levels down to a more tolerable level! I can only hope.
