Saturday morning we got up bright and early to go to the zoo. My blood counts were good and we were looking forward to a well deserved diversion. I packed us all lunches and we were off! Poor Ted... he got violently car sick. We had to turn around and come back home. (We were about 1 1/2 hrs. from home.) He was so sick that I was worried he had the stomach flu. Ted perked up quite a bit once we got home and he had eaten crackers and pedialyte. It was a very sad day at the Harder house. No one wants to drive for three hours only to be exactly where you started.
Today was a much better day. We were able to make it to Sioux City without incident. My hair fell out practically overnight, so I had to wear a hat. Unfortunately, the hat I had was too warm for a day like today. When we got home I found a colorful cotton scarf that had pink fringe hanging off it. Then I found an old baseball type hat that I "drew" from a Christmas exchange when I taught at Meservey-Thornton/Sheffield-Chapin. It is a white hat with Sony printing in blue on the front. The person I drew it from got the hat at a different exchange. Who knew it would have a real use one day.
When Will discovered my hair was coming out he was extremely upset. Now he wants to wear a hat, just like Mom. Ted doesn't care what I have on my head as long as I have a smile on my face and love in my heart! What a remarkable pair of boys! It truly is the little things that get us through each day!
