Today I kept Alaina home from school... right now she, Matthew and Elise are sick. Well, Lisey is getting better. They have fevers, bad coughs, sore throats.
It started with Steven. He was watching those three for me while I took the other 4 to see Becca and meet Ezekiel. (he's soooo sweet!) Anyway, Steven got really sick the Friday I left and didn't start getting better until today (Wed.) I got back on Monday. Poor guy. It's really awful to take care of kids feeling that way. Thankfully he's doing better now and the kids will be soon. The silver lining? I got to stay home today! Take a much needed sick day. Because Alaina is sick I didn't have to leave in the middle of the day to pick her up. Steven was so nice and brought the kids to school this morning for me. I am supposed to be getting things done.. but it's hard to do when I just want to rest!!! I did get some laundry done and shirts ironed though.
On the other hand, I had a GREAT birthday... the day I left, Friday, was my birthday. I traveled most of the day, but that was okay, it was relaxing. No screaming kids! Then I got to see Becca... and Ezekiel! He's 2 months now. It's crazy, one year ago I was writing about her losing her first baby, that was so sad. Today I am writing about meeting her new one. What a difference a year brings.
That night we went and got Mexican food, I got my meal for free. :)
The next day we took the girls swimming and just sat and talked for 3 hours. Sooo nice! We had homemade pizza that day. Yum! The next day was Sunday, we ended up not going to church because of how cold it was outside. We just hung out and later in the day Adrielle came over. She and her new husband Clay live near Becca. That was fun. I got to also briefly see Ezra.. .he's sooo cute!!! Monday morning we just took our time getting ready to go and left about 12:30. We got home and took off running when we got here, it hasn't slowed down since. So... I am thankful for this sick day, but sad that my little kiddos have to be sick.
Time to get back to cleaning. I still have ironing, the living room needs to be cleaned, dishes need to be done.
