Oh No!!! It's Blake's turn.

Blakester should NOT have "faked" his illness last week, just for a chance to stay home and hang out with Braden...or maybe this momma shouldn't have allowed him to stay home so easily. So this morning, Blake came in my bathroom as I was getting ready for school, and said "MOM - I am so sick, I coudn't sleep all night, my throat hurts, blah, blah, blah". I said, "If you're not running a fever, you're not staying home". Then, Blake did the "But Mom" thing, and I stood firmly. "No fever - you're going to school". Then, he ran quickly to my toilette and threw up. So, of course, I said, "Unless you throw up..." Poor guy, he's felt horrid all day long. Today was definitely a day when I am thankful for being a stay at home mom all these years. I did leave Blake to go to work...but I ran home to check on him, and he is almost 16. And I still felt guilty. I can't imagine the moms who have to leave little ones...Thank you, Jesus, for blessing me as a stay at home mom all these years!!

Not a great day at the office!

So...I got to come home early today. It was good, because I could check on Braden, who's still sick with the flu, and Blake, who stayed home...I think to keep Braden company, though this morning he said it was a sore throat and headache! Bren will be home in a few, so I'm going to go bake cookies...the thing she says she misses because I work most days right now.

FLU!!!!

Braden has the flu! I'm so sad for him. He feels horrible! The doctor said to expect it to hit all of us before it's out of our house!! NOOOOOOO! In the name of Jesus, I'm claiming health for the rest of us! I hope he's better soon. It doesn't matter if your baby is 18 days or 18 years old...it's just not fun for a mommy to see her baby suffer! xoxo Beeper!!

I've not given up on blogging!

I've been working...every day, and I love it! Working with Alicia has been the "dream job of dream jobs", and I know sooner, rather than later, it's going to come to an end. I'm bummed. But, God always has a plan. I trust him with my life, and he knows what's in store for me, so I'm good with whatever comes my way. I'm thankful that I've had this time with Beesh, and those adorable Kindergartners though. What a blast!!

I can't believe it's the middle of February already. Seems like May is just flying this way...way too fast!!! Though Braden might disagree....when I was a senior, I'm sure it wasn't going fast enough for me either.

Blake's birthday is in a couple of weeks. I'd better get started on his birthday photo book!!

Til another day -
