Update

I have not been very good at keeping my blog up to date and I desperately want to compile my blog into a book.  I am not good at scrap booking or keeping a journal so the little bit I have done in this blog is quite amazing! I have been reading a new book called The Happiness Project, it's all about setting new goals and doing things to help you to feel happier.  Thus, my goal for the year is going to be to post one post from the past each week and blog about what is currently going on at least once a month.  I am realizing as I am trying to post about things from the past that I am struggling to remember all the details and this makes me sad!  You would think that a picture would help. 

 Anyways, this week has been a little cray.  We celebrated my Mother's 50th Birthday on Superbowl Sunday!  We had a big get together at her house that was a lot of fun.  My poor Grandma Barney isn't doing very well.  I had a conversation with her about moving into a semi-assisted living apartment and she is now convinced that I want to institutionalize her.  She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about five years ago.  Over the last sixth months she has really gone down hill.  It breaks my heart.   

Monday morning Dexton woke up feeling sick.  Only he didn't communicate the fact he was sick to me, he just said he was tired.  So I took him to school late.  He had only been there an hour and he called saying he was sick.  Unfortunately,  by the time I got there he was in the nurses office and had thrown up in the garbage can.  I assumed he had the stomach flu and brought him home.  In the mean time, Ocianne had been sick with a cold for about a week. She had woke up that morning with a strange zity rash on he face all around her mouth and nose.  I assumed she was getting a sinus infection because her nose was disgusting but the rash had me concerned.  I took them to the doctor on Tuesday and found out that they both had Strep Throat.  This meant one more day at home until the antibiotics kicked in. 

Wednesday Kevin called me from work and confessed he wasn't feeling well at all.  He was sure he had the Flu.  I suggested it was Strep since that is what was going around the house and called the doctor to get him started on an antibiotic.  Today is Thursday and he claims he his feeling worse.  Maybe he does have the Flu! Not fun!  To top it all off, I started feeling sick today. I started myself on an antibiotic and seem to be feeling a little better.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.  On the bright side, hopefully we are getting all of our sickness over at once!  Knock on wood!
