TGIF!!!

It's finally Friday again!!! This week has crept by, I guess because I've been sick. I am feeling better, not well, but better. It's amazing how a little virus can zap you of all your energy. I made up my mind to go to the YMCA yesterday, even though I was not well yet, and I could not run but 1/2 mile. 1 1/2 weeks ago I ran 6 miles!!! I simply could not run long. I felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest and every time I coughed, I felt like everyone was staring at me thinking...why is she here spreading her germs!!! I'm going to try to run again tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. I'm still coughing a lot, and don't have all my strength back, but I don't want to lose my endurance that I had built up. The race is April 26, and I don't want to have to start from the beginning in my training again. I guess I'll wait and see.
Blessing of the day. Katie and I got our hair cut. And now, Katie is going to the lock-in at church. Thank you Lord for such great youth and children's ministry leaders. It is so comforting to know that my child will be safe and will have a great time when she is with the youth at church.What an awesome group of people we have at Antioch!!
P.S.-Justin is not going to the lock-in. He's coming down with the flu:(

Feeling better, I hope!!!

I hope and pray that this flu is on its way out of my body. Man, I hate being sick!!! Both of my kids have a doctor's appt. this morning,(just a routine physical) and we have to fit school in between that and spanish class for Katie, and soccer practice. I don't have my daily lunchtime client today. His mom is taking the day off. So, at least I don't have that to figure into the equation. (not that I mind, he's a sweetie) Anyway, got to get the kiddos up, so I'd better go for now. Love to all. Have a good day!!!!!

Sick!!!

I have come down with some kind of crud...achy, coughing my head off!!! I went to church this morning,(probably should have stayed home, but I hate to miss)coughed the whole service, came home and after Gene took me to take care of Tucker Dog(one of my clients), I crawled in the bed for the afternoon. That is very unlike me, but this crud is not fun!!! I slept for a little while, still coughing a lot, though, so I decided to stay in tonight. I hope I didn't give everyone at our band service last night and church this morning my germs. I just hate to miss out on things. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day!!

Sweet Sixteen!!!

Yep, you heard it. My sweet baby boy is turning 16 at 11:18p.m. How did that happen? I so wish I could turn back time to when he was 2. I can't believe in two years he will be an adult!!! I feel old!!! I'm letting him sleep as late as he wants today, and he doesn't have to do school. We still don't know what today's plan will be. He's more indecisive than me(or at least as indecisive) He hates to be in the spotlight. I want to make such a big deal out of his birthday, but he's like "it's just a regular day, Mom" To me, 16 years ago today was not a regular day. It was the day my entire life changed(for the good I might add)
Boohoo!!! How I wish I could turn back time!!! I rocked Justin to sleep for the first 4 years of his life. At the end I would have to wake him up, so he could walk to his bed because he was too big to carry. Now, he could rock me!!! How do they get so big, so fast!!!
On another note, Gene is gone for an interview with Target right now. Oh, how he needs a job. Please pray that he gets the job, if it's the Lord's will, that is. He is so bored at home!!! He needs to get a job where he can buy health & life insurance for the kids because they lose their coverage at the end of this year. They don't have any life insurance now. Anyway, God, your will be done.
Gotta get moving with my day. Love to all!!!
