We went to Ft. Smith this weekend for the Labor Day weekend and to celebrate my birthday. We got to see most of my family, which we aren't always able to do, so it was a really good trip. Everyone slept through the night and there weren't any p & p (puke and poop) problems while we were there. We made it back before the worst of the storm and rain moved into the state, so we had a nice drive back.
We've been busy since getting home. One (or all) of the cats puked all over the house, so on top of the laundry from the trip and the unpacking to do, there was extra to clean. I've been gathering up Conall and Caitlin's outgrown clothes for a kids consignment sale. I had to have everything ironed, tagged, entered into the computer database, and hung up to take and drop off yesterday. I spent most of yesterday morning working on what I had left to do for this (I accidentally left all of the sale clothes in the kids' closets, so I couldn't work on it Monday night, ugh!). Then, I carried it all into the sale in the pouring rain.
Last night they had a pre-sale for the consignors to shop. I found some wonderful things for the kids at good prices, including an umbrella for Conall (he's been wanting one for some time, but this weather has really made him want one) and a raincoat for Caitlin. While I was at the sale, Caitlin puked BIG. When she puked, some of it hit Conall's stuffed tiger, Henry, that Conall left next to Caitlin's crib. He got upset at this and then he puked a little.
On top of that mess, Caitlin then wouldn't go to sleep. She kept crying for me. And, Conall's school fundraising sale forms/money was due today. It was a busy night, again, and the house looks like Gustav has been in here.
So, as you can tell, things have been insane here since we got home. I have lots of cute pictures from the trip that I'll post once I find and unpack the camera, find time to download the memory card and have time to post more. Just wanted to let everyone know we're ok -- just tired and busy.
