Am I the only Mom that feels consumed by laundry? I mean seriously, how can I do a load of laundry every night and still be buried in it by the weekend?! Oh yea, I remember now, it's called a girl that changes hourly yet everything she puts on is DIRTY! I remember my Mom always saying, "Why is this in the laundry, you just wore it for a few hours!" Now I totally get it. Today was a completely packed day starting at 7am. The kids and I headed out early to a strawberry farm to pick strawberries. It was a lot of fun however it is important to note for next year that 15lbs of strawberries are a lot of strawberries. After that Raelynn spent the morning cleaning horse stalls and riding Moon. Of course it was a perfect morning for her. Coop and I ran errands, cleaned strawberries, picked up the house and of course, did laundry. We picked Raelynn up a little after noon and ate lunch, ran more brands, clean more strawberries and did more laundry. We bought Raelynn a phone today. I had very mixed feelings about her having a phone until a few weeks ago. Situations arise that make you realize it is super nice that they can reach you anytime they need to. Sometimes it's to ask you questions you have already answered but they just didn't like the answer, and sometimes it's just to say I love you which to me says, "it's been a long day and I just wanted to hear you voice." Regardless the reason, it was time to give her the ability to reach us anytime. There are many restrictions that are going along with the phone but I am so happy she has it. Coop felt a little left out during the whole process and I feel for him. He will always be the youngest and the last to get things but it's life and I know how he feels but there are great things about being the youngest too. Anyway, we had one really happy girl. So Coop headed to a birthday sleepover tonight and I was looking forward to a night with Raelynn. It doesn't happen very often that she is home and Coop isn't but by 7pm she had a horrible headache and was in tears. I am so worried she is starting to have migraines like I do. It is awful to watch her and it brings back such horrible memories. I think I started getting them when I was 11 or 12. They hurt so bad and they got worse the older I got. It wasn't until after I had Raelynn that I finally received a daily medication that has pretty much stopped them altogether. Once I can be sure that is what is going on with her I will be seeking treatment for her because they are awful!!!!! Anyway, she is now asleep, I have received a cute pic of Coop and his friends from the sleep over and Terry is sound asleep on the couch. Another awesome day is over. I really do love my life and my family!
