I am going to try to see the doctor today. This sucks. Now, my right ear is closed and I think I have red eye!! Not to mention the ongoing congestion and cough. 🙁 I need a break! I need to get better!

Yes, I’m totally feeling sorry for myself – you would too if this happened to you! 🙁

Yep, we are still sick. J3 (the first to get sick) is better…DH (2nd to fall) is slowly improving but still not back to work – not sure if he can do a whole day yet 🙁 …. J2 (3rd to get sick) is almost normal. J1 and I, who came down with this in the same day, are both dealing with high fevers and lots of aches and pains. So, that’s where we are – not much else happening but whining and watching bad television.

It seems we have been sick forever! Today, J3 is finally fever free – but J1(who never gets sick) has succumbed. DH went to see the dr because all this respitory stuff is wreaking havoc on his asthma.

Somehow J2 and I got through school today – though the stupid technology assignmet did not work – grumble, grumble. As he is still sick we are trying to go slow…but why just lay around when we can lay around and work on our addition and subtraction fact families??

Today is my mom’s birthday – HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!! – and I wanted to have her over for dinner. But now I might just spray her present with Lysol and slip it through the door to her. I’ll guess we have to raincheck the dinner.

Well, I’m boring myself…off to cough and sneeze in my recliner!

No one has tagged me – but I’m sitting here with sicks DH and 2/3 kids and needed something to distract me!!

So, I’m working on my sweater – 15″ of stockinette stitch – very boring. But I love, love, love this yarn and can not wait to have this done! I just hope that it isn’t August and 105 in the shade when it’s done! Here is a picture of this work in progress. I’ll try and be faithful to update with photos as we progress!

And, more knitting goodness – yesterday I got a package from my Secret Pal!!! I was running out the door but I made us late to see what was in the box!! 😀

Inside was a beautiful card with a note, notecards that I can only describe as swanky (what fun!) and 4 skeins of “Dream” by Moda Dea. I’ve been fondling this yarn nonstop – it’s soooo soft! I did notice that is exactly my sister’s favorite color and she has been wanting me to knit her a poncho! I am so tickled by that idea! And I think it would be a great distraction when the stockinette stitch gets TOO boring! Thank you Secret Pal! I noticed you mailed this from Lake Arrowhead – I have family down there! What a beautiful place you live!!

OK – back to sick kids, homeschooling and laundry! Playtime’s over!! 😉
