Have you ever had one of those weeks? A week where things just didn't go as you planned or as you expected/wanted them to? Well I am having one of those weeks. This was supposed to be our first real week of school and activities since the spring. Now don't get me wrong, we actually started back to school the 1st of July. But the children have had time off to attend Music and Arts Camp in July. We took a vacation to Busch Gardens Williamsburg in August. Plus we have had some other things go on, like Salvation Army Family Camp. But this week is the first full out of summer and back to serious school rountine attitude on my part and for the children.
The week started off on a bad note with Dennis being sick with sinuses. Anytime his act up, it is bad news. Of course, my sinuses started acting up too. I need to get some eucalyptus essential oil that I can use with my filter queen.
Plus, Jacob is sick with both sinuses and some other things (however nothing to do with his Lactose Intolerance). But it basically has him laid out in bed. Then our baby girl started acting like she was not feeling her best yesterday. Then last night she developed a full-blown high fever. So today my bouncy Boo has been just laying around and being pitiful. I just wanted to pick her up and love on her (but it felt like picking up and hugging a hot, hot, hot frying pan). So not much school has gotten done around here.
This means I will be looking at the calendar trying to adjust the schedule to allow for additional or make up days. This is not an auspicious beginning to the new year.
We were able to begin Corps Cadets on Monday night at our Salvation Army Corps, which I am in charge of with Dennis' help. We were amazed and thrilled at the number of teens who attended. We had twice the number we expected and everything went really really well. I am really excited about doing this. So life ought to be interesting around here with never a dull moment.
