Random Things

So I have only taken like 2 sick days in the past...well, um, ever but I took one today so I could take care of the kids. Some folks like to say that it's not okay to take a sick day when you work from home because a lot of people work from home when they and/or their kids are sick...but it's hard to work when they are sick and needy. I did manage to respond to a few emails and such, but I really would have been quite worthless today had I tried to put in 8 hours.

Wow.

They still got up at the crack of dawn which was fine. Cough. Cough. Sneeze. Gasp. Cough. Repeat.

Poor little things!!

So just because they are sick doesn't mean they are going to comply.

Incident #1:
Kasey decided to use my bottom drawer as a "step stool" to try to reach something on my dresser that wasn't his and he knew he shouldn't have. I don't even know what he was trying to get, but he totally broke the drawer. Sigh. Brian had just fixed it before he left for Texas. I am not sure what he can do this time to fix it...it's just the little drawer slide thing that is bent, but when I went to Lowe's to find a replacement for Katie's bottom drawer (yes, this happens to all of the dressers) a few months ago and the smallest one I found was like 1/4" too long for the drawer and the drawers on my dresser I think are a bit shorter. I don't know...I am sure we can find a replacement, but sheesh! My poor workout clothes in that drawer... ;)

Incident #2:
Katie. Kasey. 1 bottle of pink nail polish. Need I say more?

Incident #3:
Kasey decided to stack up some Rubbermaid totes to reach the "pretty decorations" on the entertainment center in the front room. He broke the Precious Moments figurine that I had gotten for Brian - it was a little blonde Air Force boy. So...I am in search of a replacement for that.

Incident #4:
Crash! Bang! Boom! from in the kitchen...Kasey had climbed up the shelves in the pantry and knocked a bunch of stuff out...

Keep in mind that all of these incidents took place in about a 30 minute time frame...my house was a MESS this morning! But what I can't help but wonder is WHY did these things happen? Kasey does not do these things during the day when Katie is not here. I just think that for some reason my precious little princess is somehow putting ideas in his head...hmm....

I did not get around to making my chicken soup so hopefully I can get this done tomorrow. Typically, Friday nights are pizza/movie night, but I think we could have Chicken Noodle soup one Friday night, right? I think I am going to pick up Madagascar 2 to watch.

I had signed up for the new membership class at church that is on Saturday, but am afraid that I am going to have to take a raincheck and opt for the next one. I have a feeling that the kids will still be coughing and I don't want to bring them to the church to cough all over everyone. I am just not sure when the next class will be, but I will call the church in the morning to find out. I may take another sick day tomorrow because I don't think Katie will be crud free in the morning. Kasey and I were supposed to have lunch with a gal from church, but we might need a raincheck on that as well.

Oh well ;) Praying for strength and healing!
