Sick of Being Sick!!

The sniffles, the snotty noses, the fevers, the hacking coughs, the blahs, the crud.... You name it, we've had it, are having it, are trying to get rid of it!!! Been making it's rounds in our house for about 3 weeks now and we're declaring we've had enough!!! Do I hear an "amen" resounding in the heavens?!?! Lord, let it be so!

Rea has been home from school all week, hopefully can go back today as long as her temp didn't creep back up. I've been bringing work home from school for her, giving her homework from books I have at the house, too, and even got her some library books! Can you stay "stir crazy"??!! She's been up in her "new room" (that would be David's room in the loft that she confiscated upon his departure) for the past 2 days, sitting in bed with the computer on her lap playing games, her box of tissues and cup of Sprite on her night stand beside her, looking way too grown up to be a sick kid....

The other kids are doing great, and swim lessons are continuing on! Ya'shar has done soooo great - big improvements! It's amazing what a new pair of goggles will do for a kid who hates water in his eyes.... I felt so bad! Didn't realize they were leaking so bad, so he'd freak out and cry everytime they'd try to get him to put his head under the water! Daryle took him to Big 5 Sporting Goods and let him pick out his very own cool pair, and now he's got confidence galore!! Last night after swim lessons he came home and told me, "Mommy, I was swimming up a storm!" :) Too cute!!

Looking forward to a day off at home this Thursday! This is my looooong week at work and I'm feeling it more than usual.... (Lord, I'm so grateful for my job and all you've blessed my with! Just wanted to be clear!)

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
