I’m sick

Ughhh .. now i remember why i do not like to be North in April .. I’m sick with allergies, sinus and chest congestion.  Yesterday my asthma was wild and i used my inhaler all day long.

I have spent most of the day in bed with cold chills, fever and aching all over.  Hopefully my medication will kick in soon.

My night didn’t get any better .. i have been sick all night long and in bed all day and night long.

A Cold Day to be Sick!

Today has been a cloudy and chilly actually to me it's been downright cold day.  Here is our campsite.  right now it’s not under water. 

My flowers are enjoying the rain, their blooming.

We spent the day with grand kids again today, although i have to admit Papa did most of it as i went from the living room to bed.  Later their parents came to get them.  They left around 7.30 pm and since i’m sick i headed to bed.

A Weekend of Grand Kids

We spent the weekend with the grand kids.  They came to spend the night at Grandma’s.  Saturday was a nice day for the kids to play outside riding bikes.

Riding their favorite toy the 4 wheeler.

Later that night the rain came again and so we played inside and watched cartoons.  Here is Toby after his bath and Hailey playing with her toys.

Papa fixed yummy Mac & Cheese

The sun is out!!

Today the sun came out and although the temps could be warmer to my liking. After lunch i sat outside and visited with some other campers who came for the weekend.  We had a good visit and then it was time for dinner.

After dinner we took a needed run to Wal-mart to stock up on grocery for the week and junk food for the grand kids who are coming tomorrow. $60 bucks worth .. ughhh

Tonight was another night to bed early for me as i sat outside near 2 camp fire's today and my asthma was not liking that.  I used my inhaler both times  and i know i'm not suppose to be near them but i like visiting with others.  Plus i think i’m getting hubby’s sinus infection.  My throat and ears hurt from drainage.  I have to get rested up for my little jewels who are coming tomorrow.  I’m so excited to see them.

Dentist appointment

I was up around 6 am!  Hubby has a dentist appointment.  We arrived and they took hubby back but since he has been sick and fighting a sinus infection they couldn’t do anything to him.  So we left and headed to Aldies to pick up a few things and then back home.

Hubby went back to bed as he is sick.  Later i went up and got in the indoor pool and hot tub with Emily and Becky.  We had a good swim and the hot tub felt good. 

I came home and yes the rain started again!  Ughh more rain.  I was in bed by 8 pm as I wasn’t beginning to feel well.

I’m sick of Rain!

Today has been no different then the past 2 weeks.  It started out to be a cloudy day and by afternoon the rain began and hasn’t stopped.  Now cool temps have arrived and the weather is getting the best of me.

Other then one night of driving in hail for over a half hour we have been fortunate to miss most of the severe storms that areas around us, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi and other states have been experiencing. 

Our campsite does flood but one plus is we are parked across the road from the brick bathhouse in case we have to head there from storms. 

Tonight i have done nothing.  The rain and cold has gotten to me and I'm down in my back big time.  It’s going to be an early night to bed laying on heating pads and sucking down the pain pills.  I’m so ready for sunshine and warm temps … I so remember why i do not like coming to Illinois in April! 

A Summer of Family and Friends

I probably won’t have much exciting stuff to post about as this summer. Right now I am needed here in Illinois.  My plans of heading west are up in the air at this time.

As full-time RVer’s there are still times when you are needed and when those times come around you stick around to be here for family.  Family is very important to me.  I’m not going to go into lots of details just that my oldest son is having some personal issues and after discussing all that is happening, I have decided that my grandkids need their grandparents.  

Unless something major happens my plans at this time are to volunteer enough for my camp spot and the rest of the time is going to be spent with my family and friends.  I have several good friends who spend their summer volunteering here at the Lake, so it will be a fun time for me.   

Sometime this summer a trip to Missouri will occur to the membership park I own.  A definite date has not been set for that yet. With the price of diesel fuel being over $4 a gal, staying in one spot for a long term period will cut down on expenses.

We’ve been home over a week and everyday we have had rain and today was no exception.  It poured down rain this afternoon and then finally the sun peaked out.  Of course our spot was flooded once again.  With all the rain there is no way of escaping the flooding.

The news has been reporting road closures and warnings of river banks flooding.  I talked to my older brother today and he is keeping an eye out as he may have to evacuate his home because of the river flooding.

I have another great niece today.  My sister Patty’s has gotten 2 grand daughters in the last 4 days.  Congrats sis and i look forward to seeing them both soon.
