January Sicknesses and Winter Camp

January has been crazy.

First, my daughter got sick and had to miss two days of school. Quite unusual for her. She also had to miss the final basketball game of the tourney, which was also her last basketball game of 6th grade.

Then, my son got sick. As per the usual, he was sick for a week.

During this entire time, my husband was also sick. And when he wasn't sick himself, he was staying home with the sick kids. So that was not so cool.

I figured, since they have all been well and attending school this week, I was probably going to get it.

I was right.

I spent the last two days at home sick. Ugh.

I had no choice but to feel better today, though. This afternoon, we are taking our kiddos to Mid-Winter Camp. This is the awesome church camp our kids attend every winter about this time. This year, we are taking an even dozen with us. So cool! Can't wait for them to experience this! Two of them are just old enough this year, so this is their first time. We also have two others who have never gone with us before, either.

So, I hope I continue to feel better and make it through the weekend!


Just for fun, I've been reading a cute book called Encyclopedia of Me, by Karen Rivers, about a middle school girl who is grounded during the summer and decides to write an encyclopedia to keep herself occupied. Cute book, I think all 12-13 year old girls will love. It's been good to have something to keep me occupied.

Any Encouragement

Poor little boy is sick... again. I was so excited when he didn't have to miss ANY days during first semester. And now the poor little guy has missed a total of 5 days this month! I thought he was going to be all better this week, but no such luck. He woke up with an earache this morning!

I wish I was a nurse and could tell what to do to make him well. He just needs to stay well, more often!

And now, he hates to even tell us that he's sick! He thinks we'll be mad at him! (Honey, I'm not mad at you, I'm upset that you're sick again, and I can't fix it!)

Any encouragement for the poor little dude (and his parents)?
