FLU!!!!!!!!!

The flu bug has hit our house in full force. David's on his 4th day of it. Poor kid...he had 102.6 fever for 2 days and now he's in the 99's. Brian got it too but is handling it much better than David and seems to almost be over it.


I'm staring to cough just a little bit, but nothing else really. I woke up this morning really tired and sore, but really my symptoms are only those. I just knew that by now I'd really be sick....but nope...not yet. Jacob's skipped out too so far. Emalee had a slight fever for one day but nothing else either. I pray that this is all we'll get!


I got to be a solo parent at Open House last night for Jacob, but it was nice to get out of the house for a bit. He's doing great in school and I was really impressed with his work. He made a cookie shaped like North America. I was going to take a picture of it but Brian ate Florida before I had a chance! My neighbor took a picture though so maybe I can get her to send it to me.

I went and rented about 5 movies since we're all cooped up too. I had always wanted to see the "Jesus Film" and Blockbuster actually had it. I think that will be "church" for us tomorrow. I sure don't want to pass this stuff around!


Today I Lysoled the entire house and washed bedding. I also have the windows open since it's so nice outside. I figure some fresh air will do us all some good :)

The leaves on the trees are turning beautiful shades of oranges, yellows and reds. I really wanted to take a walk today, but maybe I'll do that tomorrow. I LOVE autumn and everything that it brings...bon fires, s'mores, everything flavored like pumpkin...I plan on enjoying every bit of it! One of my fondest memories of being a kid is building forts with my siblings out of the fallen leaves and eating pears off of our neighbors tree. I always wore my favorite red shawl too. I wish I could find a red shawl today...they were so cozy!
