That time of the year again...

It is that time of the year.  Sick time.  Ugh.  Ellie has been sick for a few days and it looks like I have it too.  After sleeping for 2 days straight, I feel much better.  My house however looks like a tornado hit it.  *sigh* So much for a Mom sick day, right?

Sam is healing and recovering quickly.  It is easier the second time around when you know what to expect.  The damage on his left side was not a bad as his right hip.  There is a chance he may never have surgery on his left again. *crosses fingers*  He will have a full hip replacement eventually on his right hip, though.

Now, we sound like a geriatric blog.  Really, he is only 38.  I don't know what happened...

The kids are all adjusted and loving the charter school.  It is fun to listen to them bust through the door and tell me all about their day.  They can be rather enthusiastic..wonder where they get that.  Wearing uniforms has been a wonderful blessing.  Riley started 7th grade this year, and Katie does next year.  No arguing about name brands has been fantastic.  Not that they even know what that means, yet.  

So far so good on the Laundry.  Each of them has a day of the week and does two loads, one of which includes their sheets.  Clean clothes.  Clean sheets.  Happy Mom.  Although Ellie still struggles to make her bed by herself.  Practice.  By the time she is a Mom she will have it perfected!   ( I hope. )

Now if I can just get well!  All will be good and dandy.  So, what are you doing for Thanksgiving???

We are headed to Sam's sisters.  She is pretty freakin' awesome if I do say so, myself.  We are haveing dinner potluck style at the church across the street from her home.  The boys will play basketball,  the kids will run wild and the gals will probably all chat and crochet.  ( I don't crochet, it makes me violent)

On Friday we will head up to my Mom's to repeat the gluttonous affair.  

Hope yours is yummy and fantastic!

XOXO
