For some reason I have not been able to publish posts here for months, so I started a new blog for us to store our memories. The new address is fletchsketch.blogspot.com.

This is what I feel like today...

Yeah! Our A/C is now fixed, Isaac's hives have finally abated, and I learned that the dozen or so baby lice that hatched in Laura's hair on Saturday just prior to her second lice treatment was supposed to be there. Apparently, the first treatment kills the lice, but not the eggs. You are then required to do a second treatment to kill the lice that hatched from the eggs during the week. It was a very good sign that there were only about twelve baby lice. It means that I did a dang good job combing out all those pesky little eggs during the week. And I am telling you, that two-hour long daily combing regime has nearly done me in. (Is it just me, or do I look like I've aged about ten years in this picture? Not to mention the fact that someday I will have to do a post on what it is like to have such reprehensibly crooked teeth when your husband is a dental specialist!)

PS...I am SO excited for the Summer Olympics! Last night I watched the qualifying events for the women's gymnastic team and it really got the blood pumping. Go, Shawn Johnson (who hails from Iowa)!

Your comment about your teeth was especially endearing Jenn. If I remember, didn't you have braces and then just forgot to wear your retainer or something...there is a child's book (and lesson) right there my friend! Market your pain.


Glad to know things are better....that is gross about the eggs. I shouldn't have read this as I was EATING eggs for breakfast. Yuk.

Hey, I was just kidding, I really DON'T have a life and I don't want one because in a week and half I have to go back to work! Ugh!

I wish we lived next to each other so that we could hang out at night and write silly stories or plan a great set of novels that would make us famous.....just like the evenings at young hall.

Should I blog again today? It's too soon right? I CAN'T help myself!!!

I think you would like the topic in my head though.

You are wearing me out! But I can't stop laughing either! Stop it! Stop it!

Hey, you should move to Iowa! Did you know the writers workshop here is world renowned? Seriously!

(PS...How do you do in tornados?)

A little parasite parallelism: a friend's kittens have ringworm. Said friend is coming to my house Saturday night for a pre-semester gathering. I sure hope she doesn't bring ringworm with her.

Glad your lice-combing skills are so good . . .
