illnesses, moving, and books

we haven't been doing so well this summer.  i have been sick 3 times since april.  three.  i'm usually only sick once a year, if that.

poor josh had bronchitis.

poor ransom had (and still has) some version of that.

poor me just got sick again after finally getting over it.  seriously, i thought you couldn't get sick from the people you got sick.  i gave it to josh, josh gave it to ransom, and ransom has given it to me again.  it better stop here.

also, while i'm moaning, my right arm has been throbbing for no apparent reason for two days straight--the it-hurts-so-bad-i-can't-sleep kind of throbbing.  i have come up with various reasons why it might be doing this, but josh doesn't pay attention to me anymore when i diagnose myself.  i told him he'd be sorry when my arm turns black and has to be amputated soon due to lack of blood flow.

we have to get well because we are MOVING.  next week, i think.  we aren't entirely sure of the day yet.  we couldn't be more excited!

but oh, how i hate packing.

and we have to bring as little as possible with us because this house is fully furnished.   i guess i need to have a yard sale?

anyone need any furniture?

also, elisabeth just made lists of her favorite children's books.  i did the same thing (except mine are all picture books) on pinterest a few months ago, but i like her lists.  go look at them and if you didn't read all those books as a child you need to get started now.  or at least, when you have children don't let them be deprived as you were.
