This is a blow and go post. Internet connection is down, and I have to haul the ‘puter down to the bayfront (poor me) to get a connection. It is hard with 4 kids to do that, so instead I am lazy and completing the withdrawls from 3 days without connection. I am now quite used to being internetless, and that scares me.
Some bullet points……
*Quinn had pneumonia. We avoided the hospital, but it was very, very worrisome. He is doing much better and actually went for a swim today.
*I got a strep infection in my foot and am on antibiotics. Yes, the very same flesh eating strep you have all heard about. I will keep my foot, so the kids are bummed that I won’t get a peg leg like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. (no, it was not that bad….just a small open, ulcerated, oozing, wound the size of a quarter…or nickel accompanied by joint pain and fever.) Thankfully the antibiotics are working quite well.
*South Texas almost floated away. The rain….holy cow, the rain. It fell in sheets so hard it was unreal……for days. We have now discovered all of the leaks in the trailer, and since the sun is now shining, tomorrow will be “Plug the Leak’s” day. It was quite fun having a river in the bunk room…for the boys at least. Not so much for me.
*The dog chewed through the septic hose outside, so when I went to dump…..well, you get the picture. It was a very very small amount that got out before I discovered it, but I am fairly confident that I got the strep infection wading around in the flooding water tainted with gack.
*Thank you for all the comments, encouragement etc about our possible move.. We are still discussing it, but leaning heavily this way.
Kathy…..You must always have rum on hand. NEVER, EVER run out of rum. Savvy? ;*)
I have been watching your site daily for a decision. While I really appreciate the updates (my oldest had pneumonia this last week too – isn’t it fun?), I’m bummed that you haven’t made a decision . . . oh well, I can’t expect you to rush it just so I’m not on pins and needles
Thanks for the update – hope this next week is better (or at least has less rain and sewage in it 
Hey girl!
Yes, he would totally say that! He talked about buying a TT in the years before he retired.
Bill is already onboard, and I am there too……..we just have to get the kids excited about it. THey are loath to leave their friends and life back home.
Hey — your errant friend actually visited your blog today, and I am not surprised to see you are considering ditching it all to live in the RV. I think you know what your Dad would say. I do. GO FOR IT!!! You crazy Dane, you.
