fresh courage take

1st theme of the day… inspired by my friend Julie.

2nd theme for the day… the thought on our white-board… for me, for Hannah… our positive affirmation.

3rd theme for the day… this is for Janey. Isn’t it so true some days?

Took Abe to the doctor this a.m. Strep throat … and the flu. Nice. Or not. At least antibiotics will help something. He’ll be on the mend. He’s gotten enough movie time in during the past 6 days for the entire year.

Liza is laying in my lap watching baby einstein. She keeps sinking deeper. She moaned and groaned all night long – poor little thing.

Jimmy is curled up in bed with a belly ache, fever, and cough. He got up with Liza once last night so I could have a few hours of sleep. Bless him.

Hannah is having lunch with the principal because she was the top reader in her grade this week for the jazz read-a-thon (2,000 minutes). She is thrilled.

Tru & Max are playing super mario… because I needed a break.

We have 6 loads of laundry waiting and a counter full of dishes… yes, I believe I must gird up my loins, fresh courage take.

With the tender mercies from God, we will make it through… and look forward to sunnier days.

Oh good… the sun just came out for a second… see… there is always hope.
