I am just so incredibly blessed!  Thank you LORD for this day and for all that you have given me. 

The kids were home sick yesterday - we ended up taking the kids to the doctor because Katie was complaining of an earache...and she had a cough and runny nose, bright red lips (an excuse to buy yummy chapstick!) and a low grade fever.  The doc said she has an ear infection so we left with some antibiotics (he tried to give us augmentin, but I refused....the kids both hate it and I didn't want to have to fight with them to take their meds) and her fever was gone so she went to school today.  HOORAY!  It was early release day so she was home by 12:45 and asleep by 1:05.  She didn't get up until almost 4 - you know she isn't feeling good!  We had dinner, she showered and now she is in bed.  Aahhh....

Kasey woke up fine yesterday, but by the time we left to go to Katie's appt he had a high fever and was about as lethargic as I have ever seen him.  And he kept complaining of a headache.  The doc gave him some antibiotics (he suspected strep) and sent us on our way.  Kasey only ate a banana and a few apple slices yesterday.  Usually that's what he eats between his morning snacks!  yes, snackS is plural...the boy eats a lot in the morning!  This morning when I woke up he was in our bed (so was Katie...we love to snuggle in the wee hours) and I asked how he was feeling.  He said he was ok, but he just wanted some water.  So he had some water.  Then started whining at me....poor little thing.  I asked if he heart anywhere else other than his head and he said no and then threw up all over Brian's side of the bed.  But it was just the water he had and what looked like blood...so I kept a close eye on him ALL DAY!  He went straight into the tub and the sheets and pillow went straight into the washer.  By the time he was out of the tub, he was acting completely normal.  It was weird.  He had some breakfast and snacks...and lunch and snacks and had 3 pieces of pizza at dinner and some dessert.  Oh and he took almost a 3 hour nap too! 

I just love how resilient kids are!  I mean...he was NOT himself at all yesterday and as soon as he purged whatever germ was in his system out, he was totally fine. 

I decided against taking the kids to church tonight...they definitely need their rest and if they are still carrying any germs around on them, there is no sense in passing it on to anyone else.  They were so bummed!  So we decided to sing some church songs.  They are so cute.  They were so mad they were screaming and crying at me when I said they had to stay home with me.  I love that they love church!!! 

I must go do my devotional for the day and finish up a book I am reading.  I am trying to get back into this everyday, but I know how hectic life gets.  I will try to post once in a while anyway.
