EXHAUSTED
This is gonna be a short post. I'm so tired that I can't talk right -- I sound like a drunk. My feet and back are killing me. I've had a lovely hot bath, and I am going to bed. Up this morning and off to the kid's baseball game. Other team had to forfeit, and five minutes after the referees called...

Scarlet Fever!
Thank goodness those two words do not have to strike fear into the hearts of parents anymore. Thank God for Alexander Fleming and his discovery of penicillin. Before the widespread use of penicillin, scarlet fever was a deadly scourge. Remember Laura Ingalls Wilder's sister Mary, who was rendered...

Motherhood = Worry
My baby boy is sick. I'm worried that it's something serious. He started complaining of a sore throat on Tuesday, and spent the whole day on the couch, sleeping off and on. That evening, he said his stomach hurt, and he vomited once and had several bouts of nausea that threatened, but never...

Missing the Kids Today
After being with them 24/7 for nearly 8 days, I'm missing my boys today. I didn't have time to miss them yesterday... I was too busy walking and then dying. But today. The house is too quiet, except when it creaks. Their beds are too neat. The kitchen is too tidy without their multitudinous water...

Mission Accomplished!
Well, kids, the numbers are in, and I donated $40 to WalkAmerica from The Blogit Writers' Group this morning. Thanks for ALL of your support! I am SO thankful to all the many people who donated either money or clicks to this worthy cause. We walked the 4.5 miles this morning. It was a gorgeous day...

UTI, Lunch, and Putt-Putt, Oh My!
We've spent half the day doing our schoolwork in the pediatrician's office, because my younger son has been complaining that his tee-tee burns. I've tried cranberry concentrate and lots of fluids for the last week, but he's still complaining. They don't think it's a UTI, but rather some external...

Fun With the Boys
My sons and I are really enjoying this week off. We're still doing school-work, of course, but once that's done for the day, we can have fun. Today's plan is to go to the zoo, if it's not raining. Yesterday, we had a luncheon and a doctor's appointment, and then we went to Chuck E. Cheese. For three...

What a Lovely Day!
The kids and I got up an hour late this morning, had waffles for breakfast, and then settled in for a few hours of lessons. The boys are progressing well in maths... except the older one has NO self-confidence about it. Present him with an addition or subtraction problem, and he shuts down. No,...

I'm on Vacation!
Yippeee!! For the first time since I re-entered the workforce in 2001, I am taking a real, honest-to-goodness vacation! The kids and I are going to have a blast. On Friday, we planned our week and then played video games. On Saturday, son 1 had a baseball game. Afterward, we went to the Planetarium...

Amazing!
This is a company I definitely want to do business with again. I wrote yesterday about a book I'd gotten that had a lot of blank pages, so that huge chunks of text were missing. I e-mailed the company around 2 p.m. yesterday, explaning that I'd bought the book used, but was hoping that they could...
