Wednesday, April 2, 1913 vs Tuesday, April 2, 2013

Dora:
Ironed and sewed
Went to prayer meeting and came home with earache.
(cleaned a little yard)

Ray:
38-44 Rain
at home all day
cleaned oats
Split wood
Went to Childs to prayer meeting at night.

Note: I admit, I had to look up what oats looked like. When I was growing up the nearby fields were mostly corn and beans, with some cucumbers, potatoes, and occasionally winter wheat.  There were fields of hay too, and now that I see this photo, I know I've seen it growing before, but just thought it was hay and not a unique plant.  For those of you like me, here is what oats look like.

Cayla:
Took Maurice to pre-school only to find the parking lot deserted and the doors firmly locked.  Only upon reaching home, hours later did I notice on the schedule of events that it is Spring Break.  So much for being observant.
Anyway, I had a Dermatology appointment that I had planned knowing (funny what we think we know) that I'd only have one child with me on Tuesday morning. But now I had two.
But....drumroll....they were very well-behaved and I just looked at the ceiling while Ada was rolling around on the exam room floor.  I was unable to do anything anyway, the nurses were applying 80 patches on my back for some skin testing to see if my problem is simply a contact dermatitis (that I've have for over 10 years now, steadily worsening) or it is the worst case of eczema ever, or if it is the family plague of psoriasis.  I'm hoping for contact dermatitis.
Kids behaved well for the rest of the errands (post office and cleaners).
Nobody napped for unclear reasons.
After dinner Tarek planted our two new Cedars of Lebanon (which we are totally thrilled about--they are very hard to find).  Kids got thoroughly frozen, but didn't want to come in.
