From the Corner of State and Sick Kids

State: Congratulations to the Keokuk Chiefs football team on their victory last night over Central DeWitt. This victory sends them off to the UNI Unidome next Monday night for their first game in the Iowa state football tournament. Very exciting especially since we will have a late start the next day due to the distance needed to travel and the lateness of the start time. GO CHIEFS!!! You make us proud.

On the Sick Kids side of the street we have Cameron, aka Cassanova, who hasn't sounded like himself since starting Kindergarten. He rallied there for awhile but now sounds as if his voice is failing him once again. One of two theories could be at play here. 1) His poor sinuses just can't keep up with the changing climate and never ending growth of molds and such here in this not so quaint river town or
2) He can't keep his little mouth closed in class and must be talking all of the time.
Had I not just been to his conference with his teacher I would normally say number 2 definitely however we did get a very good report from Mrs. Quinlan. Along with the fact that he constantly sounds like he has cotton stuffed up his nose we must go with number 1 to be fair to him.
Then there is Kyla. She seems to be dealing with yet another sinus infection. She sounds terrible and her voice is hoarse. She is coughing and running a low grade temp. Poor baby but still laughing and winning hearts where ever she goes.
Connor ended up at the doctor's office last Saturday for the first time in a long time(knock wood) and on an antibiotic. He is doing much better and has yet to miss any school.
So there you go. We had Parent Teacher conferences last week which made for a very busy week for me, plus the sick kiddos, plus the fact that I really haven't been "inspired" to write too much. Writer's block? Not really a writer but I guess maybe.
I don't usually blog about my kiddos here but they are on my mind so....

I was going to go to Italy but the trip had to be cancelled at the last minute(bummer) but I did receive my updated passport in the mail the other day so at least now when I feel the urge to jump this ship for sunnier shores I will be able to go. Until then I will head on over the DC way and do some "girly" things with my sister. Will the federal government ever be the same? Doubtful!

CIAO!!!!
