Rain Rain Go Away

We've been in an endless cycle of rain for the past two weeks. My garden is drowning and my kids are cranky from being cooped up in the house. It's been in the mid 60's to low 70's with no hope for improvement. Today we had rain again but as I was leaving work the sun poked out and stayed out for about an hour and the kids were able to get outside for a little bit.

Unfortunately in the hour that we were outside Gracie managed to get stung by a bee and her entire hand is now swollen. I swear it has been one injury/illness after another with my kids lately. I really think that some nice summer weather would do us a bit of good.

I'm looking forward to a short week at work this week and spending some time with family and friends this weekend. I spent the past few days posting some things for sale on my etsy store and tonight I'll be finishing up a twilight inspired mitten/hat set to put up for sale.

I'm hoping to use the money that comes in from my etsy store to pay off some of Carter's medical bills from the NICU, the apnea monitor, and his stay in the hospital with Pneumonia. We are going through a very rough time financially right now, so every little bit helps!
