Miscellaneous Ramblings

Poor Sawyer is still sick. Once again, Noel and Chris took him back to the ER on Sunday night because he has severe diahrrea and isn't eating or drinking. They ended up admitting him and since I was waiting on phone calls last night, I was up tile 3am - again. A repeat of Friday night. It's probably Roto Virus and the hospital said it was going around really bad. Mallory has been staying at our house.

I am so tired tonight. After getting only 3 hours of sleep, I managed to go to Walmart at 7am, came home and baked chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting (yum!) for the kids, and canned 7 pints of asparagus and 25 pints of carrots, and mowed the backyard. My fanny is dragging and I can hardly keep my eyes open. I can sleep in an extra hour tomorrow morning though since Sawyer is in the hospital. We don't know if he will get to go home tomorrow or not. Depends on his input/output.

Sunday, as I was driving to Marion to pick up my grandsons to come back to Sioux Falls for church, I noticed a farm that had two fields of fence posts and on each fence post was an old boot - work and cowboy. As many times as I have driven that road, I had never noticed it before. I was going to take a pic of it but I couldn't get a decent closeup that would show several boots at the same time. It looked so weird to see all those boots on all those fence posts.

Well, enough said. I have just got to go get some sleep. Two nights til 3am and then up at 6am is just too much for this old gal. Nighty night!
