January 24th-30th

Highlights from this week include:

*An ice storm hit the valley on Friday

It seems our weather is in a bit of a pattern,

all be it a CRAZY one.

Over the past seven days,

I have seen

ice, rain and rainbows, sunshine and near 70's, and snow!

"If you don't like the weather in East Tennessee,

don't worry.

It'll change..."

-so "they" say

*Sickness has hit this household

rather quickly this week.

Little Wild Man had a fitful evening of sleep

on Friday due to an ear ache.

I had a horrible nigh of sleep and injured

my upper back/neck in the process,

sleeping on the couch downstairs,

trying to comfort him.

Baby Girl woke up Monday morning 

with a fever a sore throat,

and was diagnosed Tuesday with

Step Throat/Tonsillitis.

She then had a fitful night of sleep

because HER ear hurt.

So, Super Dad went to Wal-Mart

at 2am to get some homeopathic ear drops-

PRAISE THE LORD,

they worked!

Princess Pretty Pants contracted

RSV and a double eat infection,

so I gave her breathing treatments this week

when I babysat her.

I am TELLING YOU,

I am READY for everyone to be healthy again!

Break out the vitamin C...

*Despite all of the illness,

we were able to do some school this week.

The little boys and Little Wild Man

worked through some

The Mitten themed activities,

and Jungle Girl finished reading the third of

The Chronicles of Narnia.

Perhaps Baby Girl will finish up her

The Mitten lapbook

next week,

now that she is feeling better...

*I am TRYING to get back into some better 

healthy habits,

including eating some new smoothies 

and adding some Young Living supplements

to our diet.

(I especially want Baby Girl to drink 

Ningxia Red,

to improve her immune system-

I am thinking tonsil surgery is in her future...)

:0(

*My latest OBSESSION is

Downton Abbey.

I even have my husband hooked on it.

Such great characters,

beautiful scenery,

intrigue-

it has it all.

We are all caught up

on the previous seasons,

due to Netflix and Comcast Cable's On Demand.

Now I think I need to have

afternoon tea everyday-

if only I had a servant to prepared it for me...  ;0)
