Ash Wednesday

Today was a crazy Ash Wednesday. I enjoyed going to Mass with my boys. There is something so special about all of the school Masses, but Ash Wednesday is always so special. I wish that Brandon could have come with us, but I know that he has to work.

Around lunch time I got a call from the school that Danny was sick. I headed to get him, and went on and got John Michael too. He was excited to check out, but did not like that Danny was sick.

Danny never got sick again, but stayed in the chair all day and night. Tomorrow is John Michael's birthday and I teased Danny about going to a lot of trouble to get out of school for his brother's birthday. We watched the Ten Commandments. We got it on Blu Ray and Danny has really been wanting to see it but it is a rare day that we have that much time to sit down and watch a movie.

I cannot believe that it is John Michael's last day to be 5. The picture is his last 5 year old picture. It is definitely one of those bittersweet moments.

Brandon had a leader's meeting for scouts. I would have been but needed to stay home with my sick little man. It went great though, which I knew that it would. Now to get ready to end the scouting year with a bang and start next year.

Please go away Mac Truck

So this morning I woke up and felt like poo. I am seriously not sure how I got the boys to school and me back home safely. I just said a prayer or three. I could not focus, it was rough. I do not have time for this right now. There is so much to get done. I went on and canceled cub scoouts, which made for a not happy 3rd grader, but there was no way I could have made it through the hour.
Well, we came home and got homework done and seriously had a do nothing night. Something I think we all needed.

Alive!

Seriously thankful to be alive today. I cannot remember when I was that sick. I do not like the stomach bug at all. I feel so helpless.
I was not able to do anything, which means even more photo sessions that have to be rescheduled. YAY, not really. I was on a seriously tight schedule and now it is even tighter. It will all work out though!
Danny stayed home with me today and pretty much laid around all day like I did. He seemed better though before bedtime, definitely good news. John Michael was able to go to school, which was definitely a good thing. He did not need to miss anymore, neither did Danny, but you have to do what you have to do.
By the time Brandon and John Michael got home I felt half human again. I decided to take a shower and see if that would help. It definitely did! Which is a good thing since this weekend is jammed with photo sessions! Watch out Birmingham, I need SMILES!
