What a day!

What a day!

I have been really sick this week with the flu and trying to keep life running smoothly and speedily as always. Housework, homework, activities and jobs have all had to go by the wayside since Monday as this flu was really rough on me. I never get sick--but man, when I do, it seems like life has to stop for a few days!

Now my daughter seems to be getting it. She got sick at our church program Valentines dinner last night and came home crying. She has already missed 15 days of school this year--now we are on to 16. She had a rough night, crying out and tossing and turning, gagging, but no vomiting like I did! I am now praying she just gets some mild form of this (or none at all) and can go back to school tomorrow. Tomorrow is her class Valentines party and she has worked so hard on all the cards for her friends in class.

We have really struggled with the decision to put her in a private school this year. I thought she really needed more interaction with other kids as she is an only child. (We have homeschooled her all the other 8 years of her life) But she has been so ill and we have had so many struggles with different aspects of the school that we are quickly realizing it was a big mistake for our family. I am 99% sure we will be bringing her home this year at the end of school and starting over again. I really need prayer covering on this as she will not take it well, I know. But I think in the end it will be what is best for the whole family and especially for her and her health.

So, another day at home, with things falling to the wayside. I feel guilty about the committments that I have made that I can not keep, but my daughter is far more important than anything else. Surely other moms feel that way too.

I have a wonderful husband who is really standing beside me (and in front of me taking the darts for some of these situations from others who dont understand). He has been my mainstay this week--keeping up with the dishes and laundry, getting our daughter ready for school when I couldnt even get out of bed. I am blessed with him.

ok, thats all for now--I have a kid to go see to.
