Well, I am currently tagging my items to sell at Boutique for a Week – an upscale children’s consignment sale! It is so exciting to be able to move these great clothes out of my house in order to make room, well, for more clothes – bigger ones for the kids! It is amazing how at times it can even be a little bit emotional (not crying emotional) but kind of sad to realize my cute little boys are so little anymore! I am only getting rid of a few of Ella’s things – mostly the boys’ stuff. Hopefully I will be able to sell a lot!
If you are in the Orlando area, be sure to check out the info at www.boutiqueforaweek.net The sale is next week, if you are interested in shopping! It is really great! I always look forward to it!
Our summer has flown by…can’t believe it is August and almost time to start school! I have hardly had time to do updates this summer – I hate that. I have some catchin’ up to do. Hope to do that soon.
The kids and I just returned from a week-long trip with my parents to Evansville, IN to see my grandparents and then to Nashville, TN to see Tall Tree in concert at Belmont University. We had a great time away, but it is good to be home. On the way home, I had a major allergic reaction to something (no idea what) and my whole face, lips & tongue were swollen & huge! It was awful – very much a “Hitch”-like experience – so embarrasing! It required a trip to a walk-in clinic just outside of Nashville, a steroid shot, a round of oral steroids, ointment for the itching (oh yes, I had terrible hives!) and lots of Benedryl. I was jumpy and sleepy all at the same time! Ughhh…It has been several days and the swelling is pretty much gone (just a tad left in my cheeks) and I still have itchy hives. I have a follow-up appt. with my doctor tomorrow – sounds like they are going to run lots of tests to try to figure out what happened! Oh joy! 
Well that is a quick update. Hopefully I will be able to stay on top of this once we get into our school routine!
Have a great August day!
If you haven’t heard, Sonic Drive-in’s have “happy hour” from 2-4 in the afternoon. All their drinks and slushees are half price! Today we went as a treat after a successful trip to the post office and the library. The boys displayed self-control so it was a fun to do something special! My fav right now is the cherry limeade slushee! Hope you find something to celebrate soon!
