It's been an interesting past couple days! Jeremy's been sick (he's just about better now), so we've been bums. Literally, like we took a nap kind of bums. :) I love being tracked out! Hehehe.
Then, yesterday I woke up fiery red and blotchy all over. Turns out that I'm allergic to laundry detergent. So, yup, if the next time you see me I stink, you'll know why! J/K! According to the dr, I just have to switch laundry detergents and put everything on extra rinse. Oye to the water bill. :) For now, though, I'm stuck looking like a freak. My skin is red and blotchy and one of my cheecks is bright red. Yeah, only one, so I can't pass it off as a sun burn or blushing. :( Life is always so eventful. But, during the last two days of figuring out what is wrong with me, my hubby has been awesome. He is just so caring and shows me such sacrificial love. Poor guy's been doing mounds of laundry for me!!! I love him!
Other than that, nothing else much is new. Jeremy has started back to school and is doing well so far. One of his paper's is going to be submitted for a journal or conference, so I'm so proud! It will be good for him professionaly. He's such a smartie! I go back to school Thursday and Friday for workdays, then the kids come back on Sept 8th. Pray that I'll be fresh and ready to go for them when they come. I was really burned out and tired when I tracked out this time and want to be able to go back with a good attitude and a fresh dose of patience.
Have a great holiday weekend!!!

Strange things happen in our house...
Many of you know the strange things that would happen in our old apt...like the slug invasion. No kidding, slugs invaded our kitchen. Imagine opening your kitchen cabinet and a slug falling out at you! (I have a pic of a slug, but that's on my work camera and is at work, sorry no visual, hehe) Needless to say, we've been so thankful not to live there anymore. We thought we were safe from all that here, especially being on the third floor and all, but nope, gross, crazy, weird things followed us! :)
Yesterday, I opened the closet, and pulled out a pair of capri's to wear. I laid them on the bed and rummaged around for a shirt to wear. Then finally I went to get changed and picked up the capri's off the bed to put them on. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something weird about my capri's... Check it out:
No, it's not poo, thank you...
That would be a WASP NEST!!! Built right in the rear of my pants! (Click to enlarge full grossness) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were promptly thrown to the floor and then the complete girly girl inside took over and I started squealing (Jeremy was at school, oye!) and flailing about. Right about then, the phone rang and thank goodness it was Jeremy. Poor guy has to put up with a lot, I know. He then reminded me that we have this great invention called Raid (anyone heard of it? funny how your mind goes blank at these moments, and you don't even think of obvious things...). So then I had to find a way to get the pants outside, but of course, I wasn't touching them! I grabbed the trusty Swifter mop, and used it to pick up the pants and toss them onto the balcony. Whew. Then, last night, when Jeremy got home, we had to go through every single piece of clothing in our closet to make sure there were no other wasp nests on our clothes.
We figured out how it happened... We are on the third floor, and there are a couple pine trees that are right by our balcony. The wasps love the pine trees and are always flying around the trees (they've never bothered us, or so I thought). We have a clothes rack outside for the clothes that I don't want to shrink in the dryer to dry on. So, while the capri's were drying on the rack, a wasp decided they would be a cozy place to make home. Moral of the story, don't hang your clothes outside. :)
Hopefully today will be less eventful. Hehehehe! Have a great Saturday!

Hey everyone!
Well, we're back home! We came back a day early because of the storm...didn't want to get caught driving in it. :( It figures...we move away from the hurricane craziness, and the first hurricane to hit in the last year hits when we're there! Oye. Our trip was fun, though--it was really good to see our family and friends (the ones that we got to see...I was supposed to get to see Shanna and the Sunshine peeps yesterday, but we had to leave. Frown!)! I only took a couple pics, but will post them on Facebook. Happy Tuesday everyone!
