Dean family update

Well I was diagnosed with strep on Friday morning- I think my throat scared the nurse a little.  I tend to let these things go too long.  Brian was diagnosed with strep yesterday- so we are both on antibiotics.  I’m hoping the children do not get it.  This weekend we are planning to go to the trailer expo- we have free tickets…anyone want to play with two lovely girls while we go window shopping?  Anyone want to join us?  It is kind of fun to dream.  It sounds like mom and dad might have several visitors- so I’ll have to mention this to my husband.  Obviously if we have any children with strep we won’t be going anywhere again this weekend.  I was told not to be in the “public” until Monday.  I actually went shopping though on Sunday- Emma is quite pleased with some skirts I got her- the hippie style.  They were on clearance at Fred Meyers.  She’s such a girlie girl sometimes.  Kalena has started this behavior where if Emma starts crying in the house- Kalena cries and just starts running towards me- like she’s really scared.  I guess that’s fairly normal- but she’s never done it before until this week. I watched Supernanny last night- and now I am going to try to implement one of her family strategies.  I feel like the boys are just growing up so fast- and so distant from me and their sisters.  So I’ve worked out a plan to bring us together and hopefully increase cooperation between brother and brother and brother and sister.  I’ll get back to everyone on the success or lack of it after I give it a try for a month or two.  I’m also revoking Brian’s allowance to them…I’ve watched it just get wasted on candy and junk for two months now- and it just seems like a big waste of money.    Anyway- that’s what is new with me and the family.  Brian and I are both feeling great after the antibiotics kicked in.  Basketball is over- so I’ve got lots of extra time to fill with other school related events.  Well the bell should ring any second now.  Take care one and all.
