The Flu

Guess what? M has the flu, again. This is the second time in the last 2-3 months. I'm glad he doesn't seem to pass it on to me or the kids the last time . I hope we are as fortunate this time. I plan to take the kids outside for some fresh air after lunch to help keep the stale air from the house passing it on. I don't know if that will really work but can't hurt to try.

MY FIRST POSTING

Well I figure this might be a good way to keep track of what is going on in my life. I type much faster than I write so here goes.

N had a great time at skating today. He is on week 5 or six of lessons and is actually skating now. It was really awesome to watch him. He was so proud of himself.

J stayed with Nana while we went to skating because M is at work today and chasing her around the rink is just crazy.

N got invited to his friend R's house this afternoon to have a little play date. I was thrilled J had not had her nap yet, so I was going to get some free time while she did and while he was off playing.

I got to come home and spend some time doing my most dreaded chore, laundry. UGGH!!! J had fallen asleep on the way to drop N off but didn't stay asleep when we got home. So my free time wasn't really free. Oh well. She was really cute she even helped me put the laundry in the machine. Then we drew on the chalkboard and just goofed off for a while.
N stayed for 2 hours. It was his first mom or dad free play date, I guess he was really well behaved (thank god). He really was hard to get to leave. Had to bribe him with a movie from the library, he ended up with three.

I was able to get a couple of books, including a few on gardening which I am looking forward to getting started soon. I would like to build a cold frame to start some plants for my gardens this year, figure it might be more work but it will probably cost less in the long run. I have windows to use for the cover but not sure how I am going to build it yet.

Tried to set up links on this blog for S and T for more than 30 minutes can't figure it out hope they can teach me how. Very frustrating but it could be lack of sleep.

So I spent a lot of time shuttling N around today but he got to have a great time. Man am I tired. I am going to go enjoy the rest of it curled up with a book until I fall asleep.
