I'm Home Today

Dear Diary,

I didn't feel well, and as a result couldn't sleep last night. My oldest son also didn't feel well because he had a sore throat, so I decided to let us all stay home today.

I remember the old days when staying home from "work" meant that I might be able to lie in bed all day watching day time television and sipping on 7-up, but now staying home is being at "work". I still have four kids that ask me, "What are we doing today?"

Maddy has been working on a plan. With pen in hand she's scribbling fervently trying to form a list that we can follow for the day, and if I was a millionaire, maybe we could do half that stuff, but we're not.

My "ill" son is laying on the couch eating a 235 gram bag of ketchup chips. So my guess is that either this can't be too serious, or ketchup is a healing balm for the throat.

I'm feeling much better too now that I've rested and showered so we'll probably head out to pick up my husband's Christmas gift today. I'd say what it is, but in the off chance that there is a "blue moon" tonight, he might read the blog.

My Bible is open beside me to Psalm 7, with a wonderful verse full of praise...

I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high. (verse 17)
