Sick Household

Yup,that's right...we're still sick. Or at least, I am! I'm going on two full weeks of being sick...something is sticking in my system and won't get out. Hopefully the meds I'm starting today will kick it out once and for all. In the meantime, I'm using a lot of Purell and Lysol wipes at home and at work!

On an interesting side note...yesterday we had crap in our kitchen sink. Seriously, feces. Somehow our plumbing backed up and while the washer was running, the other pipes went crazy and deposited a nice little load into our kitchen sink. The landlords got it straightened out (and we discovered J has been throwing papers down the toilet, she writes things in her diary, then flushes the paper) but needless to say, any of the dishes that happened to be sitting in said sink promptly found their way to the trashcan. When you don't have a dishwasher to guarantee sanitization, you take no risks.

The kids also had their 2nd visit with F's dad yesterday afternoon, and we're happy to report that while he showed up 20 minutes late, he did in fact show up. The report we hear from J is mixed and we'll be having a chat with the caseworker, but overall J was thrilled to see him. My gut says if he continues to show up, the court will grant him custody and we'll be saying goodbye to these kids on September 5. Still not the best option but our opinion counts for nothing.

That's the update from here!
