DEATH

Soooo, life around here has pretty much sucked lately. Well, not really, but just everyone has been SICK SICK SICK! I swear Troy has had this sinus infection FOREVER and then one by one, each of the kids got sick and I've been cleaning up throw up every other day all day long depending on whichever kid it was.

I supposed I was pretty lucky since I wasn't sick and how could I be? I had to do all the throwup duty since Troy about dies just at the sight or mention of it.

Anyway, all was finally well........we were starting to think no one was going to be sick anymore, when I get sick. And this was BAD. I have never been so sick in my entire life! I thought I was going to die. I threw up like 70 times!! I'm not kidding! I lost 7 pounds in 5 hours. By the next day I thought Troy was going to have to call an ambulance to come and carry me out of the house because I thought I was going to die and never wake up.

Well, luckily my good husband saved me and carried me out to the hospital where thank goodness for wonderful drugs and doctors and IVs that can save you from dying of poisoning and sickness and dehydration, I was saved from my upcoming death.

Thanks to all you family and neighbors that helped watch our kids and came to our house so I could be saved. All is well now, I don't know what it was. I think food poison or some terrible sickness, but I am glad to be home, alive, happy and NOT throwing up!

Playing and Singing.......

Well, yes, here we are again.....Caleb wanted to show you his new song he is practicing "The Entertainer":


And here is Jewelia singing what she calls the "Jewelia girl on the computer song". (She thinks she is Shirley Temple. I've shown her some clips on utube. Also known as "On the Good Ship Lollipop".)



Oh, and Caleb tells you "next I will play March the new version". If you want to see him play that, you can click on our other blog website on the side that's parentingthegiftedchild.blogspot.com.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day and the kids made me all kinds of fun presents! Micah made me a beautiful butterfly necklace and some cards. Caleb drew some nice pictures of grass and flowers, and made me some flower cookies with gumdrops on top that mysteriously got bites taken out of them. Jewelia had a pretty picture from the nursery, and I got a pretty rose from church.

At church in primary, Micah and Caleb made me cards that said "My mom is the best ______ in the whole wide world! Micah wrote cleaner, and Caleb wrote cook. Well, then, they have both got it made pretty good to have a maid and chef as their mom!

Anyway, Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!!!
