Good Morning/Bad Morning

I am not sure yet how to feel about this day.

Inside I feel great...a little tired from a sleepless night but otherwise I think I feel pretty good. Afterall...stress isn't a situation it's a state of mind...right?

I grabbed my first cup of coffee and sat down to check my email and get online for twitter and I found out I won a Beth Moore prize for Pam's one year blogoversary...I am so excited!! It may have been the three posts I had up about it....;) but I don't care I won!

BUT happy or not my boys are sick. Sammy (the 3 yr old) has had a fever on and off since yesterday. The big guy (6 yr old) has a high temp, headache and very sore throat. He even has that pale but red cheek look to him this morning. Of course their whiny and cranky but that's okay, I know how they are feeling. This would be the bad portion of my morning because no mother likes to see their children sick.

Not sure what kind of bug this is attacking my house but it can go away. I know I will NEVER boast again how my children and myself are rarely sick. Since I mentioned this at my Mom's group it has been a constant nose blowing, throw upping, coughing, fever circus around here. Even my husband who is 4 hours away got sick.

I have burned eucalyptus oil, had my crystal salt ionizer's working overtime and even opened windows to get rid of this bug in the air. I have given my kids more orange juice and Deep Immune but they still are getting sick. So....I think they need rest and much more of it than usual.

Today the twins will stay home from preschool. Owen and I had big plans which included taking in our recycled cans and plastic bottles and a trip to the library and movie store BUT it will have to wait.

I will have to make some phone calls and see who can bring us a few necessities I really need...OR maybe my Dad will come watch the three older ones while I scoot into the city. WHO KNOWS, all I know is I seem to never be prepared for illness in my house.
