I was asked today what I'm doing now that I have so much free time on my hands since classes are over for the semester. I had to stop and think. . . . not for long, however, because life is always busy in this family. Colson started off with a cold and runny nose on Thursday, by Saturday he was coughing non-stop. Den took him to the doctor and was told he just had a virus. Well.....after an entire weekend of "literally" non-stop coughing and Victoria spiking a fever last night I took them both to the doctor this morning. Victoria, again, has strep and Colson was put on steriods because a) its not a virus b) it his asthma and c) I knew it wasn't going to go away without steroids or an antibiotic.

There is always something to take up my time, amidst the cooking, cleaning, and laundry. I am homeschooling Colson, who got himself a freebie today due to sickness, chasing after our little ticking time bomb who explodes everything she touches these days, and running after older kids and their activities. There's never a dull moment and rare are the moments when you find yourself without something to do. In the midst of sickness and doctor visits today I did manage to do the ironing, finish a book I started late yesterday, pick up perscriptions, pick-up kids from school in my new "harley" and even spend a few moments with Den in the car, albeit we weren't alone, because our little missy has goitis! and then home and rock and cuddle her since her fever spiked again; and facebook from my phone (gotta love that) and chat with my kiddo at the academy! It's all in a days work for me and I have to say that I wouldn't want to do anything else, EVER!
