Our Easter Present

We had an eventful week. Gabe was sick with a 102 fever on Tuesday and threw up all over me and himself. Luckily, the throwing up only lasted that day. His fever is gone but he is coughing a lot since then. Come to find out a ton of others that were at our Easter family gathering have also been sick. Eric's mom's voice is pretty much gone. I'm so paranoid that Amelia will get sick that I take her temp. about five times a day. So far so good but we'll see. So, with a sick and whiny toddler who just wants mama it's been pretty crazy. We are surviving though. We've also had snow all week. Isn't that crazy! It's almost April for crying out loud! It's not like we are in North Dakota. I'm ready for sunshine and spring and pretty flowers.
I have absolutely no desire to do any gardening this year though. In fact, I've been wondering if there is a way to make our tiny little yard less maintenance. I just can't water it all this year. I don't have the time or energy. I also feel a lot of pressure to make it look nice since we live in the middle of camp. We've already had our landscaper ask us if he could clean up the beds some. I told him go right ahead and that I do not have the time. He said he knew I was busy and that's why he wanted to help. I'm still embarrassed though. Eric said he would help me this week on his day off. It just can't be Monday though because that's the opening day of baseball and he has plans to sit in his sweats and eat doritos and watch every game possible. Yay, I now have Dorito breath to look forward to.
