I need a vacation!

I am so far beyond tired right now. A FB friend commented to the effect that sleep deprivation equaled the use of drugs and why didn't someone tell her that years ago when she was spending all that money on drugs. If this is what it feels like, I'm glad I never got into that scene! LOL

With 3 of 4 children suffering ear infections last week, I didn't sleep for 3 days and now it seems I will never catch up! Within an hour of getting up I have that out-of-sorts weird feeling of just not being 'with it'. I don't like this at all. At least the kids are feeling better, now I just have to catch me up!

On another note, I was looking at going back to school in the spring and find that I our expected family contribution is the whole tuition! I may not make it to school after all. That stinks.

An exciting two days!

Yesterday I got a call from my doctor's office and the results of my BRCA test came back negative! I am so excited! It really is great news for us!

Today the kids and I took a drive and got some Kefir grains from a lady on my homeschool group. In the process, I believe we made a new friend! I really enjoyed my time there with them and the kids loved the puppies and the chickens they had! I enjoyed being shown the garden and learning about squash borers. She even gave me a stalk from a mullein plant. I have been wanting some in our yard and now I will get my wish!

Now if I can just get the girls to quit fighting with each other. Lacey is bossy and mean to Helen and Helen just falls apart at the slightest thing.
