Sick again!

Jack has come down with his 5th or 6th cold since school started - I'm starting to think we're going to be blowing his nose until next May! I came down with something this weekend too, unfortunately - yesterday woke up with a sore throat and by afternoon it had turned into body aches and a headache, so I was down for the count for the remainder of the day. Still not feeling great today - still have the body aches but I'm only giving in to this thing today - tomorrow I have to be back in action no matter what!! Too much to do! We have a big week coming up - I provide snacks for Noah's class all of this week, the boys have gymnastics tonight, I work in the kids' classrooms tomorrow and Wednesday, we have a field trip for Jack's class on Wed., Halloween is on Wednesday, Mark's birthday on Thursday, and we leave for a 6-day trip on Friday, so somewhere in there I have to get us all ready to go for that!!! Ugghh!! No time to be sick! Aren't moms supposed to be completely immune to these things?!?? Ha ha.

We had a good weekend up until yesterday afternoon, though - Friday night we went out to the Olive Garden with my brother's girlfriend (he's on a hunting trip), so we pigged out (YUM) and caught up with her, which was nice. Saturday we went to Sam's Club, went out to lunch and then took the kids to the movie - Casper - appropriate for Halloween time, we thought! They loved it of course. Late Saturday afternoon my Dad came in from Spearfish to hang with the kids while Mark and I went to a church dinner. Then Dad stayed over, and did our whole Sunday morning routine with us - bagel shop, Sunday School and church. It was fun to have him around - I love how much he loves the boys, it's really a blessing.

And so we're off on another busy week - can you believe October is already over??? WOW!! And can you believe Mark will be 37 on Thursday??!? Bigger WOW!! :)
