Feeling Sick

All of us have had the flu. Now that everyone is better I have caught it. I am hoping it won't last long. Good thing I won't be doing school this next week. Ever since my surgeries I seem to catch everything. I wish they made a multi vitamin that did not have vitamin c in it. I cannot have vitamin c because of my bladder problem. Just pray that we will all be feeling well soon .

Highlights from January

I just don't know what else to call this post. January passed so fast. Now February is going just as fast. Well let me give you a little highlight about what happened in January. We started back to school the first of January. I decided to start taking off every 6 weeks instead of every 9 weeks. So we will be getting a break next week. Micah is doing really well at his job. He started taking guitar lessons. He is doing very well. Micah is paying for his own lessons. So I think this is making him want to do well. Also he wants to be in the youth band this fall. All of his subjects are going okay. I think he would do so much better if he wouldn't be such a lead foot about everything. Jacob is still Jacob. We are having to work on his talking back. He has a comment about everything. He doesn't have any real interest other than reading, playing with his siblings, and cooking. Jacob has discovered that he likes to experiment with different recipes. He can't wait till he can get a job. Brendan is doing really well in school this year. The best decision I ever made was having Brendan repeat 4th grade English and Math. He is getting all A's this year. Brendan has been having trouble with a bathroom issue. We went to see a GI doctor. The doctor gave us some good news. He also gave us a little disturbing news. The doctor said in 10 years there is a good possibility that Brendan could have diabetes. He showed me on different parts of Brendan's body where he is not processing sugar very well. I knew this would happen to one of my children but still you hate to hear anything like that. Maggie finally started her Abeka Kindergarten. She is as smart as a whip. The days she wants to do school Maggie will fly through everything. If she doesn't well I can just about hang it up. Maggie gets this look on her face and this gleam in her eye and I know we are going to have trouble. Usually I nip this in the bud pretty fast. She is so cute that no one realizes what an imp she can be. We took Maggie for a sleep study because she has never slept through the night. We found out she has restless legs. I have been giving her Valerian root and Lemon Balm. Both seem to do all right for her. She still is not sleeping through the night. The little imp will wait till we are fast asleep and then crawl into our bed. What do you do with a child like that? It is amazing how smart kids are. David is doing very well in school. He feels a little intimidated because he is the oldest in his classes. I told him that he is setting an example to the other students that you are never to old too finish school. I better wrap this up. I have gone on long enough.
