Under the Weather…

Our family has been ‘Blessed’ with good health so far this year. Forty eight hours of a runny nose is all we have had to endure and that was from only one child this winter. Our close to perfect record changed this morning. Meghan had a stuffy head and sore throat, David had a sore throat and Grace said she felt fine but admitted waking up last night with a sore throat.

Sound the alarm! Mom is now in sick-mode!!! Out came the Airborne, Vitamin C tablets dropped fom the sky into their little hands. Zicam flew at the kids from all directions and all sugar is now on a lockdown!

Only Meghan really was sick enough to stay home. The others I kept home just to make sure that this flu/cold or whatever they have will not get any worse. This mom is armed and ready. My family is not going down without a fight from me.

I have included a few pictures to show you what the kids were doing this morning in my multiple roomed sick-ward.


Meghan has never once minded hanging out to read in her bedroom.


Gracie is trying to write in cursive while cuddled up in mom’s bed alongside ‘Princess Violet Rose’, her cat.

David is finding anything he can in the house to eat. Hmmmm…I don’t think he is really that sick…do you?
