Scarborough Seven
Our Crazy Life

so its been awhile...

We took the girls out of school for a week and went to palm Desert for the Jayson's little sisters County fair. I put the girls on independent study for a week! Never again. It was so much work. The noises and moaning they made every time i asked them to sit down and do some schoolwork, My God! Ill just call in sick next time. We were successful at the Fair. Jayson's little sister Nicole got Grand Champion Market Hog. We won last year also but this was extra special because we actually bred this Hog. So Seven Showpigs( Thats the name of out Hog Farm:))had their first Champion out of its herd! Big Success! It has Jayson all fired up about being a Hog Farmer, his true dream (Im not joking either!)
Unfortunately while we were there everyone got sick. It started with Jillian having Pink eye and passing it on to every other kid in the family. Then they were coughing. Jackson had it really bad. So we came home a little earlier than planned but it was okay because Jayson had to catch up on a lot of work. Let me tell you, traveling with 5 kids feels a lot like moving. We moved out of our house, int o a hotel in Paso Robles, Out of the hotel, into the guest house at Jayson's dad's house and back out and into our house again. I still havent completely unpacked. I dont feel like going anywhere for a while.
Jackson was still feeling yucky when we got home. Finally i took him to Urgent Care on Saturday. He had bronchulidis, an ear infection, pink eye, excema, and a fever of 101. Poor little guy:( Thankfully we got in really fast. There was a ton of people there but they let us go in right away because he was coughing so hard. He looked so miserable he was coughing and itching and had green guck coming out of his eyes. The dr gave us some antibiotics and an inhaler. He's doing mush better, but he's still not happy.
So the girls are back in school, thank god! I forgot to mention that it was raining when we got back to Fresno so we were stuck in the house for 5 days with all 5 kids! I sent Jayda to the babysitter twice already this week and i am sending her tomorrow again. The norm is once a week. We need some time apart! hehe

Today was a beautiful day. Went to lunch with my mom and then i took Jayda to the park. She was in heaven! The plan today was clean my house. So glad i didnt, cuz thats the plan everyday. I will always have housework. Then we picked up the big girls and cousin Nicky at School and went back to the park to play for another hour and a half. WE came home, did homework and now they are gone to awana for the night. Jayda is staying the night at my parents, its very quiet in the house at the moment. Sooo nice. thats why i have time to write.oh wait, i hear a baby waking up, gotta go.
