Babysitting in Boise

I have no pictures to post, because I left my camera's cable at home. I am currently in Boise for two weeks babysitting my cousins. Three boys, 16, 11, and 6. I've been at it for almost 4 days now and I must say it has gone quite smoothly. The cooking hasn't been as bad as I expected and they really are good kids and haven't caused much trouble. Maddi has absolutely loved having other kids to play with all the time. The second they get home from school she just follows them around everywhere! The most eventful thing was that I have been very sick. I am feeling better now, but we think it was hives or the flu that settled in my joints. I had a rash over my whole body last weekend and then my neck and a finger started to get really sore. By Wednesday I couldn't open my hands completely and everything hurt. Then by Thursday I couldn't straighten my legs either. I could barely walk and was in a lot of pain. I was also swollen and couldn't even put on a pair of shoes, or my rings. We finally thought about the rash and so I took some Benadryl. No pain meds had helped so far. The Benandryl seemed to do the trick and today, Saturday, I am feeling MUCH better. Still a little stiff, but man its nice to be able to move. You don't realize how much you use something until you don't have it any more. So, yeah that's been my first week here. :) Its fun being back in Boise for a while and to be near my family, since I don't usually get to spend this much time with them.
