In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted in my blog. I’ve been busy with sick kids, I guess. Well, that and my new game. I’ve been addicted to The Sims 2. It is so much fun. Anyway, the kids have been sickish. Kyra has sinusitis, and is on antibiotics and prescription cough medicine. Elijah has been somewhat feverish the past two days, and has a runny nose. I’m just glad it’s not more serious sickness, like the virus we had a couple of weeks ago.

We had a bit of a scare last night, and ended up in the emergency room. Chris was working. Kyra fell and hit her head on the corner or the wall, and cut her forehead. It was kind of gaping, so I took her to the ER. Since Chris was working, I had to take Eli, too. So, I had my mom meet me there to watch him for me. She didn’t have to have stitches. They glued it instead. I was glad. I was afraid that if she had to have stitches she would be traumatized and scared of doctors. She was very good, though, and stayed very calm. She was very appreciative of the doctor. She kept tell me last night “the dahdah helped me” and “the dahdah fixed my boo boo”. Very sweet. I was proud of how good she was.

I have an MRI this evening on my shoulder. I guess we’ll see then what the problem is. The doctor told me that if it was a torn rotator cuff I would have to have surgery. That would be difficult with the kids, but oh well. You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.

Chris is off today. I’m glad. I don’t know if we will do anything over the next couple of days, but I’m glad he will be home. At the very least, he can take the kids to his grandmother’s or something so I can clean. My house is such a mess, and I can’t seem to get anything done. The kids have been very needy and clingy since they don’t feel very good.

We had beautiful weather yesterday. Kyra and I went for a walk. It was very warm, and pretty.

Well, I hear crashes coming from Kyra’s room, so I better go see what Eli’s gotten into.
