The awesome candy store that we always try to stop at on our way to D.C. is located on Route 68 in Maryland, exit 22. Jacob and Julianna highly recommend you check it out. It truly is amazing, I think they have about every kind of candy you can imagine, all sold at bulk rates. WWYD Roof Edition:
Well, I did call the mom, as you all suggested, thank you. I guess I was afraid that I would be stepping on toes, or interfering, or being judgy; when none of those things were where I was really coming from. Thankfully, the mom seemed to understand exactly why I was calling. More importantly, she did not know and was very happy that I had called. Always err on the side of safety. I know that, but it was a good reminder.
Mark. *sigh* Not sure what to say to this one. Yes, he's still coughing, though maybe less than before? Maybe? Honestly, I'm not sure. I guess the fact that I'm not positive indicates at least a small improvement. He did switch medications, a medicine he was taking causes coughing in a surprisingly high number of patients. As he's still coughing I'm not completely convinced that was the answer, but we're in a bit of a holding pattern here. When you have insurance as awful as ours is, you tend to wait and see a lot before going for medical tests. So, that's where we're at, we're waiting and seeing. Thank you to those of you that have thought good thoughts for him or prayed for him. Keep praying and thinking, please.
Well, I think that ties up my lose ends. May's flying along around here. Busy school days, even busier weekends, if that's possible. I'm starting to regret signing my kids up for activities this summer. Every summer I vow not to over-schedule, and every summer I'm afraid I teeter too close to the edge, maybe even taking a step or two over. Jacob and Julianna are doing VBS, swim lessons, and 1 or 2 camps; we'll have a family vacation in there somewhere and Julianna's supposed to take dance classes. Rethinking the dance classes, even though I'm obligated to pay for them, a few things have happened at the studio lately that leave me less than thrilled and a break may be just what we need. Rebekah will be home, which will be wonderful. I'm afraid the summer's going to pass by before we know it and school will be starting all too soon. Ugh. I just looked at the calendar, we don't have a "free" week until the end of July, we have a total of 3 weeks free this summer. Luckily, the activities the kids are signed up for are all things they've asked to do and are excited about so hopefully no one will feel too pressured or scheduled. Bright side: there should be precious little boredom around here.
Hope you have a great Mother's Day. I'll be missing my two kids I don't get to spend the day with, enjoying the two kids I do get to spend the day with, and extremely thankful for all four of them.

Hope your husband's cough goes away. Coughing all the time is exhausting. Glad you called the mother re kids on roof. I imagine she's glad you called too. So weird to read that you're getting ready for summer holidays. Sounds like everyone will have full schedules, but not too full to make it less of a holiday. Hope you have some lovely family time in there too. And Happy Mother's Day for Sunday.
Thanks for the updates. I was waiting to see if the mom of the kids on the roof had a great explanation for it but I'm not surprised she didn't!
Enjoy your Mother's Day!
Glad the roof issue went well. I'm sure it was all in the way you presented it!
Sure do hope Mark's cough goes away sometime soon. That has to be aggravating to him.
Have a Happy Mother's Day!
Whew! Good thing you called the mother and let her know. I would have a heart attack if I found out my kids had been on our roof. I had read that post earlier but didn't know what to say so I didn't comment. ;)
Continued prayers for the hubby's cough!
Happy Mother's Day! I hope you enjoy the summer, even if it is a bit crazy!
