It's Friday Already?

Of course, this feels like the longest week ever, too. Go figure.

The kids all had colds this week. Hannah came home from school on Monday with a fever, which meant she couldn't go to school on Tuesday. Even though she was fine. Jacob woke up Wednesday morning and I knew, just by looking at him, that he wasn't going to school. I knew Daniel had developed a cough and when I asked him how he was feeling, he told me, "I'm over all that 'sick' stuff. I'm going to school." Okay then. Wednesday afternoon, I started feeling sick.

Thursday, I felt like I'd been run over by a truck but all of the kids went to school (yay!). However, it was Native American Day in the first grade and I had volunteered to help. *Sigh* Hannah knew I was coming and I felt bad about telling her that I wasn't. So, I heavily medicated myself and headed up to the school.

I was stationed in the "rainstick room," which was good because I could sit the whole time. However, helping 65 kids create rainsticks was more than I was ready for. I was completely exhausted by the time we were done. I so wanted to come home and curl up in bed but since I didn't get home until after 2, that was out. However, I did get a short nap between pickup and tae kwon do, which was nice.

Today, I'm still not feeling well. Hannah has a Daisy Girl Scout field trip to the marble factory (yes, there's a marble factory out here!) after school but I don't have to do anything but pick her up later. Jacob's "camping" with one of the Boy Scout Troops he's been looking at joining tonight. Mike's going with him. I guess they're going indoor rock climbing and they're just going to camp at the place. Many of his friends are going, too, so that should be fun. This is also the last requirement for his Arrow of Light Award (the highest award a Cub Scout can earn...like the Eagle for Boy Scouts) and the only Cub Scout award that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. I really wish Jacob would just pick a troop already. I'm tired of the phone calls from the different troops. He's pretty sure he's going to go with the Jewish troop (mostly because several of his friends really liked it, too, and are probably going to join as well) but he's not sure. Girl Scouts is so much easier.
