A busy but great family day..

Today seemed packed with lots to do. Between the gym (2 new launches), laundry, to just playing in the pool with the family, it was non-stop. Unfortunately, Jillian has a nasty cough and I think we are starting something. But we still have 2 more weeks until school begins and I am hoping for a good school year with health along with everything else. I do not know if I mentioned this, but Elizabeth had a followup regarding tubes for the ears and the ENT still wants to hold off. Her next followup is the 15th. On one hand and what matters most, I'm happy we are holding off...but on another hand, I do not want to get on the healthcare bandwagon, but at $45 a pop for copays at a specialist, can't help but wonder if this is being dragged out. Of course I would like to avoid them, but are all these followups ALL necessary. But for your child, you do what is recommended. And something that can have an affect on hearing, oh yea....

Back to my day. I did approximately 5 loads of laundry and there is still one more tomorrow. We took the gals in the pool for about 2 hours today and even though there was overcast, it turned out to be a beautiful day. The girls and I made M&M bar cookies which are delicious and can be addicting....then we made a "kid friendly" chicken tender meal. So kid friendly that Jillian enjoyed it, or maybe the orange marmade dipping sauce...Hmm!

Its about 10:45 and time to read. I do not know how long I will last, the eyes were shutting about 1/2 an hour ago...
