Pollen Vortex

Yes, that's what it has been called.  It's been a miserable thing for Daddy, especially about two weeks ago - though it is letting up a bit.  The rain we've had off and on has helped wash away the yellow dust in the air.  Madison is affected by it, but we give her some children's medicine to help fight off the symptoms - like a scratchy throat and drainage.


Daddy, however, was able to say the same exact words you hear Señor Ramon say in the movie "Nacho Libre."  Apparently, our nephews were struggling with a stomach bug, and we were all nice and close at Easter yesterday, and here we go again.  Fortunately Madison is doing just fine.

She enjoyed school today, and after school we were off to the chiropractor once again.  This was a great time as always.  She giggles and giggles and giggles there, and can't wait to get a free sticker. She loves the back massager, how it makes her voice vibrate.  She just loves everything about the chiropractor, which makes for a pretty funny visit each time.

After that, we made a side trip to Goodwill. The thought was to pick up some clothing for the upcoming music recital.  We were partially successful there, but found some other items that were pretty useful, one of them being a devotional with a golf theme.  Yes, that just happened.  Hard cover, too.  We also found a hard cover copy of "The Greatest Game Ever Played," with the jacket still in tact.  Both were half price, which is already pretty cheap.  Next, we found a few CDs, as well as a Leapster Explorer game for Madison, one featuring Spongebob Squarepants.  All this for under $10 total.  And yes, there was the shirt that Mommy was looking for too.

We got home, and it was pretty much time to eat and go to bed, although we did do a bit of Disney Infinity as well.  Just a bit this time - we tried out Perry and Phineas, and also tried something else out:  the Dragon Gate.  This is a result of taking a Disney Magic Band (from the parks) and placing it over the Disney Infinity platform.  Suddenly, there's a little grotto area, and this flying dragon.  And it's only available if you get this band from the parks.  Where did we get the band?  From an old friend, Mrs. Jennifer - Madison's old dance teacher.

So we played for a bit, and then it was bedtime.  Daddy wasn't feeling well today, so it was an early bedtime for all of us.  Despite the woozy feeling though, it was a good day.  It was a great day!
