Wild Crazy Weekend

One thing I love about homeschooling (and there are 100's) is that our children don't get sick as often as children who are in public schools.  I heard that this stomach bug was going around the schools quickly and I felt bad for all the kids (and parents) I heard getting it.  I guess the stomach bug does not discriminate because it hit us on Friday night and hit us hard!  

As you know on Saturday we were hosting the Woodland Fairy Party (see blog post for all the detials and pics HERE) and on Saturday, early a.m., our oldest, Zachary, came in projectile vomiting everywhere...yuk and more yuk.  This did not let up (every 20 mins) from 12:30 am - 6:30 am..needless to say we were all exhausted and I had a party to host in a few hours.  Set up needed to be done. The party, which was going to be partially inside and partially outside, was now being replanned (plan D) to totally outside (rain or shine) and my son needed me.  You all know what it's like to be pulled in 3 directions at once.


I put my "big girl panties on" and sucked it up! (isn't that what all us moms do in times of crisis) Party went off without a hitch! Once the party was over and clean up began, I started to feel (physically) the pressure of the day. By bedtime, I was not feeling well (and hubby and I were suppose to have a date day on Sunday).  Yup you guessed it, the bug had found ME!  My son was good as new by Sunday morning and I had hit a brick wall.   Hubby did a great job keeping it all together for the day as I never got out of my PJ's and nursed a fever for a good part of the day.  Good news, as with Zachary, the bug only last about 24 hours because this morning, as I type, I feel fine!  Little empty in the stomach, but no fever!  

Now, waiting for the other two to get sick 8(  as this bug finds it way elsewhere in the home.  Lysol is a my best friend today!   We will not overdue it with school this week.  Expecting more rain this week, which means, they will be bouncing off the wall from lack of exercise by weeks end 8(  

Next week the hubby and I are going away for a night without children (mid week) so there is that to look forward to!  Pray the bug has left the building by then!  

Hope you all have a great week and Be Blessed!

Happy to hear that Zach was feeling better w/in 24 hours, but sorry to hear you were taken down with the bug, too :-( Hopefully the other 3 in the house have stayed healthy :-) Definitely take it easy this week, that's for sure. Time to recoup and re-energize!!!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
