We've been hit with the flu this week. 1st Clare and Calvin and then Jo. Clare was the most sick, missing 3 days of school. Jo laid around like a limp rag yesterday but was back on her feet today, only for about 5 minutes at a time...the rest of the time she used me as her chauffeur because she was too tired to move herself around! She is cute. She also loved having me sleep in her room. I pulled an extra mattress into her room and slept on the floor next to her. Calvin got sick but never really got knocked off his feet. We'll see what happens to the rest of us if/when we get it. Hopefully nobody gets to seriously sick.
Meanwhile, people at the hospital are dying of the flu. For some reason Dave thinks it is helpful to tell me about these people and "share the worries" (as if I don't have enough to worry about)!
Also, for those of you who know Dave very well you know that he has very strong feelings about weight and is not shy about mentioning if someone is over weight, has put on a few pounds, is fat, etc. etc. Basically, he is extremely un-politically correct when it comes to weight. Anyway, in conversation about one of dave's patients he said, "have I told you how I feel about fat people?" (sorry to offend anyone, but this is our family scrapbook and it needs to be included)
Birthday's are coming up: Calvin, Dave and Lexey. After Jessica's surprise party Lexey said, "let's have a surprise party for me!" It was cute. We told her that if she plans it, it won't be a surprise. I was thinking maybe we should plan a party with her and then give her a surprise party about two weeks early so we can actually surprise her. She is such a fun little girl!
This week I'm hosting a freezer meal workshop for Wildtree. It is nice to get lots of meals in the freezer so when I need a break from cooking I have something on hand to stick in the crockpot.
Wee sing starts tomorrow! I have a cute little group. Looking forward to a fun season!
Been doing lots of research about Houston. I have learned all I can on phone/internet so the next step is to go visit. The biggest concern is finding a school for Calvin. And the humidity. I am going to die.
I can't keep up with the paperwork for 3 kids. (Jo doesn't count yet since she's not in school). I am always behind and losing things. I need to get more organized. I think I need to start with a file for each kid on the kitchen counter and stick everything in it so that when I go looking for something I know where to find it. Then sort/toss everything occasionally.
I like watching Downton Abbey on Sunday night. I like it best when Dave is working so he doesn't walk by and say how dumb it is! :)
I need to get back into my more strict exercise routine (with pushups, lunges and plank), I'm a little flabby and my jeans are a little tight. NOT good. (see above reference about dave being intolerant about fatness!! J/K. As much as he jokes about it, he is the last to notice when I am not as fit as I should be.)
