3 out of my 4 kids agree... being sick sucks.

Yeah, we are quarantined at our house. H1N1, although we have not been officially tested Jane's school made the news- 182 students home sick. There must have been quite a bit of spit swapping at the Halloween dance Friday night. JANE!!!!

Ellyn is as healthy as a horse, but since the rest of the family is is down we thought we should be socially responsible and keep her home just in case. Jane is recovering, she still had a low grade fever last night and a cough and a sore throat this morning. Sadie seems better this morning but is still on meds. She was miserable last night, a high fever, having to take a warm bath (which did not feel warm to her)to break said fever, throwing up all over the floor while trying to go to the bathroom. Not a favorite Sadie day. Her good daddy took care of her and slept with her all night long, keeping an eye on her fever.

Sawyer is all low energy and a mucky cold. He seems happy enough.

So we are hoping that Mike had a version of this last week and that I am just immune. If this is as bad as it gets I'm actually relieved that we got it. I have been in turmoil about whether or not to give Sawyer and Ellyn the vaccination. They have a thimerasol (I know I'm spelling that wrong but it's not in spell check) free version but it hasn't been available.

Well, I'm off to reclean the house, my favorite activity ever- not at all. I'm wondering how many days of movies and laying around we can all take before going crazy. I'm a wimp. I like healthy.

I'm so sorry Brooke! We are still waiting to get hit. I thought a trip to the museum this week would do us in for sure when no one washed their hands before eating, but so far so good.

Certainly I just cursed myself, taunted the flu demons by saying "so far so good".

so far, so good! You're hysterical Mindi. I, too am sorry, Brooke! Geof. has had the flu but no one else (kind of strange). I wash the kids hands about a million times a day and so far so good.., but we'll see. Hang it there...

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
