And Then The Kids Got Sick

Well this week hasn’t gone as planned. Both Agnes and Dylan have been home sick from school. Agnes has the fever, and Dylan has the cough, and both of the kiddos are miserable.

Oh goodness, I hope next week goes better.

 

Things were going good, and then I got sick

Well things were going pretty good, and then I got sick. It started with Agnes and Dylan, traveled to Thade, then James got it, really bad, and lastly me. I’ve been sick for a week now. We’ve had some crazy fever/chills/cold/flu/crud that has just been bad.

Seven days into this crud, and I really hope that I’ve had the last of it. I’m still pretty tired, but I’ve stayed awake all day, and I am no longer breathing like a zombie. Time to start to sort my house back out.

So Far, So Good

We are starting the third week of the school year, and so far things are going pretty good. Agnes is doing a bit better this week. She is starting to enjoy kindergarten more, and she is also waking up a bit better in the morning. Dylan is feeling better, and he is really enjoying the third grade. Thade is also having a blast at middle school, which is just awesome.

And then there is me… I have been busy getting everyone up and out the door, and then trying to get the house back in order. I haven’t started any major projects (yet), but a deep clean and declutter is in order, and soon. It has been pretty nice having a little bit of quiet during the daytime, but the day goes by in a hurry. Just when I am settling in for a crochet break, it is time to go and get the kiddos from school.

I am happy that we are all settling into a decent school routine. After the crazy long Summer, I thought we wouldn’t ever get it back together. Well, time to call it a night, the alarm will ring before I know it.

 

 

Favorite Photos: August

Summer break came to an end, school began, and we had to say good-bye to a dear old friend. August was filled with it’s ups and downs, and I have many photos to share with you.

We enjoyed the lazy days of Summer, and the tiny kiddos played outside on several rainy days.

Miss Lula arrived, and we nursed her back to health. She has grown, and she is happy, and very playful.

Sadly, our dear friend and kitty Loki passed away. He was sixteen years old, and we miss him terribly.
