I think we are all on the mend in our house. I'm so relieved.
Yesterday Rebekah got a headache in Sunday school and it appeared to be a sinus headache. So I brought her home and made her spend the day on the couch where I filled her with green smoothies and protein. I did the sinus rinse we had gotten from the Dr. and this morning she seems to be doing well! Phew!
My pneumonia has cleared up entirely, no more coughing.
Grant went in for his check up on his ear and they said it was all clear and good.
The cats are doing better with their medicine kicking in, and we aren't tempted to move out of the house every time they use the litter box! YAY!
Praying none of us gets sick again for a very long time!
...because nothing stays the same

Bedtime Reading
I think it's pretty safe to say we've moved past the easy reader books. She will still pick them up on her own to look at, but for bedtime she wants something meatier. Okay, truth be told, I'm enjoying it as much as she is.
This week:
I didn't expect to like it, and I expected Rebekah would like it even less, but happily we are both sucked into it and when she begs me to read one more chapter I say, "welllll I suppose", while secretly glad she asked :) Thanks to our fabulous Children's Librarian, Lori, for this recommendation!

What my next 10 days look like
I kinda feel like Eeyore! Glad I picked up some books and plan to be heavy on the homeschooling for the next couple of weeks!

I'm surrounded by used kleenix, bottles of medicine and half drank glasses of water. There is an almost empty jar of vicks on my window sill and cough drop wrappers are still scattered from my daughter's coughing fits in the night.
Our crew is sick. Mommy has walking pneumonia, little bean has a sinus infection. Daddy has an appointment for 6:00 PM tomorrow to see what he's got and both the cats have diarrhea and a 4:30 appointment with the vet. HAPPY FEBRUARY!!!
After a busy start to the month, I'm ready to get back to our routine, whatever that may be, one of which is catching up on school work again. Life just seems to be all out of whack right now and I've put my foot down on making commitments for awhile. It's time to pull in the reins and regroup and figure things out. I know you have to roll with the punches in life but sometimes? Ya gotta punch back and tell life to slow down!
Now I'm going to go set up a lemonade stand from these lemons life is giving us, so I can pay the medical/vet bills.
