Last day of August!

Its been a week. Its been a very long sickly week! Laci got sick all over again when the first round of omincef didnt cure her ear infection, and then by mid week I started feeling awful! My throat was on fire, my neck was stiff, a fever....then the white blotches started to show up...STREP! UGH! So after a few days of antibiotics I am *finally* feeling better!!
We did manage to get the light fixtures in the kitchen and diningroom changed out and they look fabulous!!
I am also a new mommy...of a **tiny** 4 week old kitten that we have named "Chip". Chip is the same color...and roughly the same size....as a baby chipmunk, and I wasnt fond of Alvin, Simon, Theodore, or Dale, so we went with Chip. He was very very ill when I got him as a rescue and he was so badly covered in fleas that it took 3 baths to finally kill them all (I hope!). He is the size of my hand and just today started drinking water on his own. The last few days its been milk replacement in an eye dropper. The kids are over the moon for him, but the cats...not so much! ha! I think he will make it, but he still has a very long way to go. Brian says its the smallest kitten he has ever seen.
Other than that, today is Brian's first day out on the road after training! We are waiting to see how the review/raise goes and I pray good and fast! *fingers crossed* Christopher is in school, Laci is playing/holding/smothering the kitten and I am on my 3rd cup o'joe since I am sleepy still today. I have to get groceries later.
I am trying to make the final decision on whether or not we are going to Gatlinburg. Part of me really wants to, part of me would rather wait one more year and really have a great trip and stay in a cabin instead of a hotel. *sigh* I dont know, but I have to figure it out soon.
Hope you love the new layout and music!
