Ahhh, yes, sick kiddos. Well a few days ago Moira and Flannery came down with a fever and stomache pain. Nothing else happened, until the next day when they had some di.....h. This was Saturday and Sunday. Then yesterday they were fine. Phew, got over that one in a hurry without too much "pain". But not so fast! Tonight, Flannery was saying she didnt' want to eat dinner, she didnt' like it. hhhhmmm, odd, since she has always eaten black beans and rice. So we offered her some bread. She has been having stomach pain since we moved and we figured it was her reflux acting up due to stress (it happened when we moved from Charlotte). Well, she loves bread, and decided not to even eat that. Now my brain started ticking. This was not adding up to pleasant numbers. Well, about 30 minutes later, she comes up to me and says..."I have to throw up!" AAHHhhh the joys of stomach bugs. Not a second after I got her cleaned up did Moira come running in with the same exclamation! So two kiddos with the stomach bug. I am praying that it will be very, VERY short lived. They each fell asleep an hour and a half earlier than normal, each with a bucket by their side. Poor things.
i got a lot of work done today. I was able to get the living room, dining room and kitchen in decent order. Anything that still needs unpacking is still sitting in boxes, but I have made more of a dent and made sure everything got cleaned up. Looks good. I love a clean house.
The girls have had this small obsession with death lately. I know 'what a topic'. But that's what's been going on over here. I call it as it is. So anyways, they play out someone, or some animal dying, or they are trying to rescue or something or other. Well the other day, really took the cake. Moira came up to me with a picture she drew. She said 'this is for you Mommy." Before I even looked at it I said, "Oh, how nice of you to draw a picture for Mommy." Well there was a person crying and a grave with a stone that had a cross on it with Mommy written on the stone. So I ask her if this was a pic of me havng died, and she said, yeah, that's me (Moira) crying because I am sad you died. Then she went off to play. Yikes! I have to say that I dont' ever remember drawing pictures about death. And I drew a lot of pictures growing up.
We've been having problems with our oven. it takes about an hour for it to heat up, then it burns everything! Ugh. We made some cookies to take to our neighbors, but i feel foolish to bring burnt cookies. However they aren't entirely ruined so guess who is eating them. Us! Add that to not being very faithful to exercising.....I really have to figure a way to get the baby into her bed in the a.m. so that i can go for my walk. i need to get back into the routine of it. I miss my walks. I still have been walking a few times a week, but it has been hit and miss. Not to mention that I had my quiet time with the Lord before I walked, would read scripture, then during my walk would 'chat' with God. I am not making light of that, just couldn't think of any other wording. I really enjoyed that time.
Well i must be off. I should catch some ZZzzz'ss before anyone else wakes up and needs me.
