Week ending January 7, 2007: The kids seem to be much better, however, every time they get sick, it is as they are nearest recovery when they get the surliest. I guess they get tired of feeling bad all the time, just like the rest of us. We made them miss their Aunt Danielle’s graduation party this week because the party didn’t start until 7pm and every day this week the kids were complaining about being tired as early at 4pm. They just didn’t seem to have any stamina. They did get to go to my best friend’s baby shower and they had a good time watching cable TV (we don’t have cable) and playing with my friend’s 13 year old son, Jacob, who was very kind to them. They are still asking every morning “what are we going to do today”, and when I told Alex that we were going to a party for Miss Jamie’s baby, Alex said “Really? Thank you Mama, that makes me so happy!”. They’ve been playing with their Christmas gifts. I’m very happy to see how well they do playing with the Candyland and Memory board games that Santa brought for them. These are their 1st board games, and they volunteer to play them and can sit through a whole round of Candyland until someone gets to the Fiesta to win the game. Chloe just saw an ad for Barbie’s 12 Dancing Princesses and she petted my hair and said very seriously, “Mama, that is a great movie”. I got an e-mail from one of my girlfriends today. She has 4 kids and the oldest is 6. 3 of them are throwing up and have fever in the 104F range, and her husband just left for 3 weeks in Thailand on business. Suddenly I feel like a real wimp for being so down these last two weeks when everyone in my house was sick!
