3-20-2015 Spring?

Today is the first day of spring. Unfortunately, we've had about 6 inches of snow so far today. School was dismissed at 1130. That worked out perfectly for Charlie and Lily since they were going to leave at 1200 anyway to go to Hershey for boys' basketball state championships. Luke and I stayed home, warm and cozy in our nice, quiet house, snuggled up with the cats.

3-9-2015 First Time Calling Off at Work

I am down and out with an awful upper respiratory infection with sore throat, ear ache, sinus congestion, exhaustion, and dizziness. I feel like I've been hit by an eighteen wheeler. I managed to work my shift on Saturday, but just barely. I called off for Sunday.

I spent all of Sunday in bed. I did get up this morning to take the kids to school and pick Luke up again at 0915. I'm now back in bed. While I don't feel as bad as I did yesterday, I wouldn't say I'm anywhere near good. I plan on resting and pushing fluids all day today.

Charlie is fighting the good fight. I pray he wins and fends off these evil germs. If he comes down with what I have...God help us all.

3-5-2015 Two in a Row thanks to Snow

Today is the 2nd snow day in a row for the kids. Yesterday was actually more of a sleet and freezing rain type morning. This morning we are having heavy snow. I'm happy to be snuggled in at home with them. Charlie stayed home and did paperwork yesterday. He just left this morning to venture out.

Last night Charlie and Lily went to see the Harlem Globe Trotters. Lily enjoyed it and even bought herself a souvenir headband which she had all the players sign. Charlie said he enjoys watching high school players more.

This weekend Lily has her "spring" concert at 6:00pm. The Reading High School boys basketball team have a state playoff game at 7:00pm. We are going to try our best to do both.

Luke is doing baseball clinics every Saturday morning. Charlie will be his assistant coach for the spring. Lily is not doing baseball since she did not enjoy fall ball.

Grandma J is recovering from a stomach bug. She actually passed out in her kitchen Monday morning. I was very worried about her. She's now feeling much better. Hopefully, Grandpa P doesn't come down with it.
