What a week

Well it's been more than a week.

Dh's truck blew it's transmission.  So it now sits in the driveway.  This has left us with a big problem for the coming week.  We have NO way to transport 4 hogs to our fair on Tuesday.  This is not good.

We had to go find another car for dh to drive back and forth.  We found a Nissan Maxima for sale by a private owner and were able to just pay for it out right.  So at least its getting better gas mileage than the truck or my van.  I'm really trying to find a silver lining.

I've also been sick for over a week.  It started with my left tonsil and now encompasses my entire throat so it's hard to talk or eat.  I've been on antibiotics but they haven't seemed to help.  I'm praying I'm better tomorrow.  I'll have to return to the drs tomorrow if I'm not better.

On another note, we took our 4 year old daughter, Sarah, in for a check up at the drs.  She had not been feeling real well and i was concerned about a few things.  Before she was born the drs. found a hole in her heart but at her two month check up her birth mother told us that the dr had said it was closed.  Well this past week the dr heard something in her heart that made him concerned.  We'll be taken her down to Dorenbecher's Children's hospital on Wednesday for an ECHO on her heart.  It could be something as harmless as a murmur for whatever reason.  So we are jus trying to remain positive.

This coming week also starts 4H fair.  Our older children are all involved in that and we will be taking hogs (hopefully) and goats.

Well I've had enough computer time today and I need to go get some more rest.
