Quarantine....

  Over the weekend, Destiny stayed with a friend. A friend who had NOT went to school Friday. Says it was because she "missed the bus" I was unaware that friend missed school until Destiny had already left and was at her house.

 So anyway Saturday evening she called me to come and get her, her friend was now sick. After she got home her friend let her know she'd been to the doctor, and been told she has the flu. Oh GOODIE! So of course within moments Destiny feels sick. I feel its the power of suggestion, or the power of a Monday off school. So I ignore it to some extent.

 So Sunday she's complaining of being tired, well she stayed up all night with her buddy! She also has a headache, but she wants to go to a BBQ at a friends (family friends) so we all go. She seemed okay there, a bit tired, but I figured that, was because of the headache.

 Today she woke up and ate breakfast, got dressed, took her temp, and some ibup. for a headache, and I sent her off to school. Around noon she came home. Fever, and the school nurse thinks "flu" symptoms. BOOOO. So I told Tim (who luckily was off work) to keep her in her room get her some fluids and lysol the hosue :OP

 When I got home I brought her a sprite and she was surprised she had "slept" all day. She thought it was already tomorrow!!! Her temp is 102.1 and she feels icky. Its not stopping her appetite, so I am just going to take the laid back watch her and see approach.


 The other kids I think miss her, they have made her get well soon cards and Bailey said she could use his little DVD player to watch movies. She is bored and wants out. I do not want to spread the germage though. I am the only one allowed into her room I said to Promise earlier when she was going to follow me in.

 "Well that's DUMB" she said when I came back into the kitchen. "Your the one that needs to NOT get it" she says..... "If you get it, HOW will we have dinner???"

 Isn't it nice to know your needed, and loved?

 SO I have had all the kids go around wiping doorknobs and light switches, TV knobs, with antibacterial wipes, hand washing is a MUST and lysol is the new scent in my home. I have made it my TOP goal to NOT let the other kids get this. I have given them all the herbal stuff I had on hand to keep them from spreading strep back and forth, which by the way WORKED, and I am praying it also works with this flu or whatever it is, germ.

 So cross your fingers for me!!! Oh and well wishes for Destiny are appreciated too, although I am pretty certain, with her appetite still there, she will be just fine. :)

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
