Dorothy is eating Nemo!

2008-08-02 / 9:23 p.m.

We had so much fun at the fair with the girls. My aunt and uncle didn't come, and I'm actually glad. It was hot, but not unbearable. We ate food that always sounds good at a fair, but then doesn't end up tasting as good as you thought it would. We had deep fried avocado, a smoked turkey leg, cotton candy and ice cream. We took the girls on rides and walked the exhibits a bit. They petted animals and we watched the pig races. It was fun. Of course, the highlight for them was the cotton candy, thankfully we saved that for the end of the day. Bg1 and I went down this huge slide and oh my word it was fun! All in all, it turned out to be a great day to spend together as a family. Just what I needed.

Today was a massive cleaning day. Because I haven't been home much, the house looks like a pit. Dan got up with the girls so I could sleep in a bit and then I was up to make a big breakfast - eggs, biscuits and gravy and sausages. Then it was time to get to work. The girls helped clean their room and Dan helped me do things here and there. I did 5 loads of laundry, washed and changed the beds, vacuumed, mopped the floors, SCRUBBED the bathroom, organized the office and cleaned the kitchen. By the time I was finished, I had worked up a sweat, so I put on my suit and took a dip in our pool. Bg1 wasn't napping (like she should have been), so I let her come in with me.

My reward for all the housework was a movie night and chat with friends. Dan took Bg1 with him to church and Bg2 stayed with me. She was down a little early and then it was Dirty Dancing Movie Night! So Much Fun.

I'm still not feeling well. Something is working it's way through my system and has me feeling gross all the time. I haven't heard back from my doctor yet, but I'm hoping to get in sometime next week. I still haven't started my period, which is amazing after the beautiful facial break-out of 2008 which is currently happening. I hate this. You would think after 34 years, I would know my body and how it works, but no I do not.

It's been a long day and I am off to bed. Tomorrow's agenda = absoloopy nothing.

P.S. Nemo (Bg2's fish) died, not to our knowledge, and during breakfast, we noticed Dorothy (Bg1's fish) EATING Nemo! Surprisingly, the girls took it really well. Bg1 said, "I know why Nemo is dead - Dorothy is eating him!" Just like that. Nothing to it. I just hope he was dead before she started eating him.
