Back to the grind...again

Today was the first day back to school after Spring Break.  I took last Monday and Friday off to spend some time with the girls, but getting up early this morning wasn't anywhere near as shocking to my system as it was to theirs.  Now that the temperature is staying in the 80's on a consistent basis, we can all feel that summer is right around the corner.  Only 10 more weeks of school and then summer vacation, here we come!  I can only imagine how hard it must be on teachers this time of year, I don't know how they get the kids to focus and stay engaged, kudos to all of them. 

When we moved here, I really thought my allergies would improve, but that has not been the case.  They are actually worse here and unfortunately, so is Abigale's eczema.  It has spread to parts of her body that were never affected before the move.  How horrible it is for a 14 year old to have this visible skin rash - I feel so bad for her.  Although, my sympathy only goes so far because if she would use her eczema cream several times a day like she is supposed to, she could greatly reduce the rash... But, what do I know?

We are determined to have a family beach week this summer for the first time in over 5 years.  I have a plan for how to make it possible, so wish us luck.  Stay tuned!
