is it time for bed yet?

Tonight it is 8pm and I'm about to crash. My day started out good. Global bridegroom fast (mind you it was only 7am & the coffee was hot). Israel & I were going to go with a neighbor to the shatto milk farm, milk a baby cow, drink samples of yummy milk (yes I do count chocolate milk in my fasting diet in some emergencies), and hang out with our new friends. Well Shatto is closed on Mondays and it is a good thing. Around Israel's second round of Lucky Charms he started to barf - a lot! He was so sad. It kept going all day long. It is now 8pm and I am just finishing the last load of barf towels. He had 6 baths today. A new record. Well in between Nemo & baby einstein #12 I decided to hang up a new candle holder that my house guest generously gave me. Very cute rod iron pottery barn style with 5 glass votives with candles. I hung it up and no later than about a minute my whole wall was wax covered and the candle holder was black and a huge flame was growing. The candle votive then shattered from the heat and glass wax gunk went all over my table, walls, and floor. It was very exciting! Good thing I didn't go anywhere for more than a minute I would be titling this blog entry "wife burns house down". Such a day. Oh - & my poor husband finally broke out in terrible poison ivy!!! All over his arms. It was day 8 & we were hoping he was in the clear. I guess that vine was poison ivy after all.

Poor Katchen! I'm sure you read about how Nate was sick like that last week, so I completely understand. Poor Izzy too! I hope things are much better today!--and for Kurt too!
