A muddle of a week

We had all of the normal things going on with theatre ushering, school and homework, housework, and to make it fun another stomach bug for me that lead into a migraine again and wiped out a couple of days for me.  Gratefully by the middle of the day on Saturday I was feeling much better which was a good thing because Jena had a busy day and night planned--

Jena's Saturday:  Ushered at the matinee at Centerpoint (black pants and white shirts), then home for homework (me) and Jena (cleaning her room) (casual and comfortable clothes), then to a wedding reception of one of Jena's friends (nice jeans and dress shirts--I love that when they say to wear jeans to a reception), then off to Syracuse Days for dinner at a food truck, then to a swimming party (swim suits and covers), and home for fireworks (wrapped in a towel and our swim suits) while we watched them from our porch. Changing clothes for all of that made enough laundry for a couple of batches it seemed.  It was fun time.

Ben also had a nice evening as he attended a party with some friends.  He has really been struggling still with the voices however and didn't sleep Friday night and then again on Saturday night.  This afternoon he asked to go to the CRU unit where he was admitted for day treatment.  Poor guy. Hopefully some of the medication they gave him will help him finally sleep.

Everyone else seems to be doing well.  Jessica is finally feeling better and enjoying the pregnancy now that she is at 16 weeks.  Jessica, Elessia, and Liam went to the Utah Arts Festival where they had a "petting zoo" of instruments.  Kids could touch and try out all sorts of instruments.  How fun is that! Liam tried the violin.

Scott and Chantel are busy with jobs and life.  (Jena and I stopped in and saw them on Wednesday night but no pictures.  If you like videos, you can see a cute one of Scarlett pretending to sleep on Chantel Berenyi Hall's Facebook page.)

Tosha had a respiratory infection for about a month.  When she finally went to the doctor, they told her it was an Okinawa bug and it is normal to hang on so long.  I remembered things like that in Hong Kong, too.  When you move to a new country you have to get immune to the local bugs and flora, I guess.
