Shopping Anyone?

Usually mom and I or Brandon and I head out for some seriously intense shopping on the day after Thanksgiving.  This year it did not happen.
Poor Danny was up sick most of the night.  I finally gave him a third of a phenogrin (sp?) to help his stomach settle and let him get some rest.  He is so pitiful.  I would not have been anywhere but with him today.  I cannot stand it when the boys are sick, but I am very thankful I was able to take care of him.
Danny and I spent most of the day laying around.  He finally held something down, but he was just tired and still not feeling great.
We were supposed to go to Thankgiving dinner at Teresa's today, but Danny did not  feel like it and we did not want to share anything he might have had.  Brandon and John Michael went though and they had a great time.  They even brought us a plate of food, though after dealing with what we all night and morning food was the last thing on our minds.  The thought was definitely there though.

Another Sick Day

This morning started off strange.  I woke up about 2:00 and ran to check on the boys.  They were fine so I went back to bed.  I got up a little later and got ready for the day.  I was raring to go when John Michael came running in sick.  He was super sick. 

Brandon took Danny on to school and I stayed home with little man.  He broke my heart litterally laying around all day, he finally held down a watersicle about 2:00.  I had to leave for work, but Brandon was here with him. 

Danny had his first basketball practice so it was a long day at school.  We got home about 8:30.  It will be our standard time for Monday and Friday nights, but we love this time of the year so it is all good. 

Today I am thankful that my baby is feeling better and that a little stomach bug is all we have had to deal with  when so many people have so many bigger threats on their plates. 

Sick

This morning I woke John Michael up and he was doing everything he could not to go to school this morning.  I laughed it off and went to get Danny who immediately took off to the bathroom and got sick.  Needless to say John Michael got his way.  No school today!  We stayed home and spent a lot of time in bed and on the couch. 
Fortunately John Michael never actually got sick.  In fact he got up at 2:11 and did a dance because it was too late for me to take him to school.  He is a trip.
Needless to say tomorrow we will be headed back to reality.  Hoping that everyone stays well and that it was a fluke.  This going through the house is so not what is needed right now.

Welcoming November with ....

The Stomach bug. Yep, everyone in the house ended up with the stomach bug. I have managed to steer clear, and praying that it stays that way. I have photo shoots everyday this month and do not need to have anything slowing me down.

I have been to Publix twice getting Sprite, medicine, soup, and crackers. Fortunately since early this morning everyone seems to be on the mend. Which means back to work and school tomorrow as normal. Praying that this is the track that we stay on.

Today I had a photo shoot with a gorgeous 13 year old. We went to the Aldridge Gardens in Hoover. More on this session on my blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ It was a great session and I am excited about editing them. Starting on them shortly.

Aldridge Gardens is beautiful in the fall. They had a ginko tree that was stunning. Brandon planted one of these for us last year, while it is still pretty much a baby, I hope that it grows to look like this one. I LOVE IT! The size, color, shape, and everything.

I went by the school while I was out and got Danny's work. He had it done in just a little bit. I love the fact that he does not like to be behind. He is so much like me. I prefer to be caught up and ahead when at all possible.

Well, everyone seems to be okay. About to start shower and bath time. Curious to if I can but Lysol in with them. Just joking.

I hope that everyone has a great night. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Also please say a prayer that all is healthy and back to normal tomorrow for the Thach household.
