Sickness.....ugh.

The kids are all sick and I feel like I have cabin fever!!!! I have hardly been anywhere for a couple of weeks. Justin came home with a cold first, then James caught it, then Josh, and now Callie is miserable. I'm hoping and praying that I don't get it. I'm so surprised I have not come down with it already as I have been coughed and sneezed on constantly. Maybe it is all the broccoli sprouts I have been eating....and all the vitamins I have been taking. Who knows!

We were going to have a birthday party for Callie this weekend, but I have decided to reschedule it so everyone can get better. I would hate to give the guests a cold as their party favor!

Last week Callie fell and cut her knee open really bad. She was screaming at the top of her lungs and bleeding all over. It looked REALLY bad to me and I was freaking out....I thought it might need stitches. That was on a milk day when people were coming to the door to pay me for the milk (I started a raw milk co-op, I'll tell you about that sometime) Anyway I'm sure a couple of the people thought she was being murdered in the back room, she was screaming so loud.

Well all I could think to do was call Justin and have him come look at it. Then while I was waiting for him to get here I phoned the doctors office to get their advise. It turns out it was not that bad and was fixed with a couple butterfly bandages. I think she is going to have a big scar there. Ah the battle scars of childhood. I have some of my own. Like when I was four and my dad was moving my swing set. I got in the way and it got dropped on my heel and sliced it open. I still remember being rushed to the hospital and still have the scar.

Poopville part 2

Well after I posted Poopville part 1, I found a couple of toothbrushes in the litter box. It seems someone was sneaking in there and having fun without my knowledge. I'm just glad he did not put them back in the bathroom!!!

I love my kitty cat but I hate dealing with the litter box! Then I remembered that cats can be trained to use the potty. So I have decided that after Joshua is potty trained, I'm going to train Gracious! Of course that may be a while, and it might never happen.....but it sounds pretty good to me now. Here is a good website I found:

She toilet trained her cat in 2 weeks and surely Gracious could do it that fast too. He is very smart. Well if I ever get around to doing it I will post about it!!!
