Going on a hike

I found Charlie trying to put Susie Bear in the back of his pj's this morning and I asked him what he was doing. He then told me that he wanted to take Susie Bear up the mountain for a hike, so this is Charlie and Susie Bear going on a hike up Little Mountain. Charlie LOVES going on hikes ~ probably because he is Susie Bear when we are hiking. How much fun would that be, hanging out on someones back!

Donut Day

"Charlie, you forgot to eat the donut!"

I pretty sure he does not care, by the looks of his face.

Out of Commission

As a mom, you never want to be out of commission. Especially the first week your kids start school at a new school and your husband starts running a school. It has been a stressful week, needless to say. I have missed the first school day, family fun night, meeting new parents, etc. It is almost as if I do not exist yet. My family talks of this person and that person, as if they are life long friends, and I have yet to meet them all.

My fever started last week Saturday night after our birthday party for DJ. (Thank goodness we celebrated Saturday!). After the kids were in bed, IT began.

It is now Friday at 5:45 pm and I am still medicated for a fever. It will not go away. I went to the doctor on Wednesday, and as usual, he said it was probably a virus. What he does not understand is that I am a mom of 4 children and a wife to an extremely busy, and tired husband right now, so hearing that it is a virus did not make me feel any better.

My house is a mess, laundry is piled to the ceiling (not really, but close), beds are unmade, etc. I have contemplated throwing an adult fit to see if I could actually "fit" it away.

What really saddens me, is that I can never get this week back again.
