Sick again.

It's been kind of a "blah" weekend. Friday night was fun... we had 2 friends over for dinner and it was a good ending to an otherwise depressing day. Joshua got sick Saturday morning and Jake ended up getting sick early this morning. I'm hoping McKenna will stay well since she had the same thing last weekend. I'm hoping Jay and I stay well because, well, it sucks to be sick when you're a parent!

In other non-sick news...

I went back to work this past week. Another elementary school called and asked if I could come in and sub for one of the Kindergarten paras. I let them know that I did not want to work full-time, so I'm just in the classroom from a little after 8 until lunchtime. Other than having to get up early to get ready, I'm enjoying it :) It's a pretty well behaved class and the teacher is a sweetheart.

Jake & Kenna had eye exams the other day and Kenna will be getting glasses. She's ever so slightly nearsighted, which wasn't surprising. I'd taken her to the Walmart eye center in October after she failed the school's vision screening, but that quack wanted to put her in bifocals. Our new doctor agreed that bifocals for Kenna were pretty extreme. Anyway... watching her choose her frames was interesting. She didn't want anything girly (no pink or purple) and nothing from the Nickelodeon line. After getting shot down several times, I decided to just let her choose on her own. She picked out a really cute pair of black frames that are... drumroll please... the same frames I chose for myself a few weeks ago, except mine are brown! I just thought that was kind of funny :)

Time to go feed the sickies. I am going to try and post on here more often. Something that struck me at my friend's funeral was that she really made an effort to journal about her kids. I'm horrible at it, but realized how much of a treasure those journals and scrapbooks are especially now that JoDee and her girls are gone.

Until next time...
