oldest and youngest

feeling better.....

Today I was able to crawl out of bed. I got 5 loads of laundry done and my kitchen floor mopped. It took me a long time because I feel so tired and my muscles hurt, but it had to be done. Poor Travis missed me and was happy to see me out of bed, so he clung to me most of the day.

My 2 oldest kids made me so proud. They took care of the younger kids all day yesterday. Shelby fixed dinner for them and even read to me while I was sick in bed. Colby kept the little kids from killing each other, and made sure I got my meds.

I am so thankful I got some help! It was a miserable day, but it was great to know I could count on them!

sick

I am sick today, so this post will be short. It started last night and by this morning I couldn't get warm, no matter how many blankets I had on me. My throat is swollen, and I have a really hard time swallowing. I am pretty sure its strep.

Oh joy. I started antibiotics this morning, so hopefully by tomorrow I will feel better. I have been doing my best not to breathe on the baby, but its hard because he is always in my arms. Colby did a amazing job with him this morning. When I couldn't even move Colby took care of the baby, and of me. He even brought the t.v in my room and put on a DVD for me to watch. Even Shelby checked on me and brought me toast.

I am thankful to have them.
