Bed Ridden

So I sick in bed--slightly functional--but waiting for the antibiotics ($100 worth!!) to kick in. I've been instructing the younger kids from my pillow. But Mary Catherine is doing a unit study on home economics, ie running the house. So far she has made breakfast for dinner (last night), washed dishes this morning, and is making lunch right now. Thalia and John Henry are doing their part also--picking up the floor and setting the table--but those are normal chores for them.

Mary Catherine is being a helpful and hardworking little homemaker! I wonder what I did on sick days when I only had small children?

God Bless Mary Catherine!

BAD MOM Award goes to. . . .

the crazy woman who goes to the dance recitle with a sick baby (hand, foot and mouth--but I didn't know till later--really!), lets a heavy bathroom door close on the 3 year olds head, then the next time they are walking through a heavy door together, while reaching back to hold open the heavy so so it WON"T squash his head, puts a BIG GOUGE under his eye! And all in ONE DAY!!

I'll have to wax romantic about our 13th annaversary some other time. . .must tend sick baby and injured 3 year old.

I LOVE FOOD!

And thanks to my sister I have a great website to find the whole grain, healthy, yummy alternatives for my food loving.

Can't wait to try the onion rings!!
