Santi took Riley to a lego convention this weekend in Portland. My crazy husband drove straight there last night and plans on arriving home before work on Monday. I am glad they went, Riley has been beyond excited for about a month.

Because my husband and oldest son are gone, a huge black jumping spider decided to greet me in the shower this morning. Instead of screaming "Spider!!" as I usually do, I stood there for a minute and then went and got a jar and put it in. I hate squishing spiders, especially big ones. I am not sure what I am going to do with it now. 

Lily has a runny nose. Thankfully, she knows how to blow it. She is a little grumpy and clingy and didn't sleep well. Lots of tossing and turning in bed last night. 

My back is killing me all the way down my left side. I am thinking it has something to do with a wiggly 25 pound toddler, but I can't be sure. It hurts bad. I usually have a high tolerance for pain but it hurts to breathe.  The pain actually makes me kid of nauseous. I am hoping Motrin will take the edge off. I don't have time to  be hurt. I would call someone to watch the kids for me so I can rest but I don't want to pass around whatever Lily has.

Our homeschool group's talent show is tonight. Should be fun. Wesley will do his Martial Arts.

Lily is combing my hair right now with her little plastic comb. Too cute.
