Flu!!!!

With the start of the school year, comes sickness. Meaghan woke up Saturday morning running a fever of 101 with body aches and headache. So off to the doctor we go, flu test comes back negative, all other tests come back fine, must be a viral infection. Yesterday, fever goes down and then back up. Yesterday evening it shot up to 103.2 and she was getting real dizzy, so off to the emergency room we go. There was people everywhere all wearing masks. The doctor said even though the test the day before came back negative, most times it would come back positive the next day and she had the flu. She is going to miss a whole week of school. Now to keep Emily from getting sick with it. It would be worse on her since shes pregnant.

Here is my menu for the week:

Sunday: Spaghetti with garlic toast
Monday: Chicken and Dumplings
Tuesday: Ribeye steaks pasta salad
Wednesday: hamburger steak, rice and gravy

Back again!!!!

Since I have last posted, life has indeed been hopping. I found out that my oldest daughter is pregnant. Right now, she is almost 4 months along, we will find out in Oct. what she is having. It has been a real tumultuous 2 months since we found out. Her school is going real good and she is doing so much better this year. Knock on wood....

This past week has been real hard at work. My hours were cut back dramatically from around 30 or so to 10-15. I now work only on Fr and Sat. and one Sunday a month. I was really upset when I found out, but after having time to think about it, it really is for the better. When I was working 5 days a week, I was also having to have dr. appts for her, dentist appts for both the girls, wic appointments for her and therapy appts for both girls. On top of that, taking care of the house, and taking care of my husband and myself. It was almost impossible for me. Now I am home during the week and dont have to worry about leaving work to take them to appts. I am planning on working on my blog more, cooking more, putting things on ebay and mystery shopping for extra money. This can be done!!!!! I know it will be okay.!!!!!!!!!
