Well it's Masters week again here in Augusta, so 1/2 the town has left and the other 1/2 is doing what they can to make money off of the golf freaks that invade town every year. The traffic on our one busy street is bumper to bumper and getting downtown is quite an ordeal. I for one though, am happy to see it all unfold because last year at this time, I was watching everything from my little bitty hospital room TV on the 5th floor ICU. Another good thing is that a lot of the band is gone (this is one of the weeks you're allowed to take block leave since it can be so hard just to get in to work if you live anywhere near the National golf course), so Tim will be able to take tomorrow morning off (after a prayer breakfast) to watch the girls while I go in for my 3 hour glucose test. That makes me so happy to not have to entertain them both in that little waiting room for 3 - 3 1/2 hours!!
I'm also hoping that the "Masters curse" keeps going so that we'll get some rain, it's usually very nice during the practice rounds (Mon - Wed) and then rains during the actual tournament. The pollen here is so terrible right now. Both of the girls are constantly wiping their noses and they have both developed a cough from the nasal drainage. Emilia's tonsils were a bit swollen again today at the doctors, but he said that it is just the allergies and prescribed her an antihistamine that will hopefully help out some.
I'm putting in some pictures of how thick this stuff is right now, and also some of how it looked during our little sprinkling that we got Sunday night. I think all that did was stir it up more though, rather than washing it all away like we wanted.
Our front steps, they aren't normally yellow like this!!
Nope, that's not dust on the trash can lid, it's ALL pollen
During the rain, it just gathered and clumped together in the drain...YUCK!!
Here it is pooling on our front steps (that's Emilia's bug house sitting there, she had a caterpillar in there for a while which was good since she's learning all about metamorphosis!)
This is the end of our driveway. I sure hope it rains later on this week!!!!
