North Carolina Trip Over

So we just got back from visiting Jandy in North Carolina a few days ago. The kids are happy to be home and seeing daddy again. So I am just catching up on some reading that I didn't get a chance to do before I left town. I have to say, after "3 cups of tea" and "A thousand splendid suns" back to back, it puts life in perspective for me on how blessed we are to live in this country. Yes, we still deal with crappy issues, such as the bad housing market, bad economy, horrible reports about retirement savings, but at least we are not worrying about a bomb dropping on us everyday or our children/family being killed or tortured. I am just grateful for that.

Sick Kids at Home

So my whole family has been sick this past weekend. Hailey had some vomiting Thursday night. It started out just Jeremy on Saturday, then Sienna started vomiting for about 8 hours straight. It was scarry. Finally she stopped vomiting and went to sleep. So she is doing a little better, but still doen't feel good. I haven't been able to get her to eat anything yet today except some drink. Let's just say that it sucks to have the whole family sick. Since the kids need to stay home until they are well again, mommy's got the "cabin fever" from staying home these days as well.
