Happy 4th!

I hope it's sunny and warm wherever you and yours are celebrating Independence Day today!

Tim zonked out by 10:30 this morning (works nights) and J had a hard time falling asleep again last night. Wondering if we need to keep Melatonin on hand for those sort of nights. Ginny woke up with gas again. Read that if a kiddo is lactose intolerant that giving them yogurt with live cultures helps increase the lactase in their digestive system helping them digest lactose in dairy products better. Well obviously that's not the case. I think we're going to nix dairy completely for at least a week and see what happens. In the meantime we need to get some gas drops or something for G so she's not so uncomfortable.

Reworked and updated our household notebook last night and this morning...a million addresses, e-mails and phone numbers that were outdated and I had a pile of them waiting to be put into the book. :sigh: I've GOT to work on getting us back on the weekly menu and shopping list kick again. We end up with food, but nothing we can use by itself. I also need to get more creative. I think I'll make a bigger batch of rice and beans so I can munch on it all week rather than grabbing a quick snack from the pantry.

STILL haven't finished my book yet, but am more than half way through. Normally I can sit down and read a book like that in a few hours, but I just don't seem to have the time to read it through, so I'm choosing to not read it at all. No sense reading 2 pages and forgetting what they were by the time I get back to the book.

Nothing planned for us today. Though I did make potato salad yesterday and I plan to make corn on the cob and hot dogs for supper tonight.

Justin is LOVING his Kids Popular Mechanics videos we got from the library. Submarines, electricity....he's soaking it all up like a sponge. Thank GOODNESS for homeschooling!

I'm off to clean up the kitchen and push through a few more loads of laundry. Wishing you and yours a fabulous, safe and happy 4th of July!!
