Endless nothings...

Well, I'm sick. I have a yucky cold and so do the kids. Yep, I am the horrible mom who sends her kid to school with a cold, too. I also sent her with comfy tissues, plenty of water, and hand sanitizer. She knows what to do, but yeah, other kids will probably get sick, too. Still, she was the one who brought it home, so I assume everyone there is already exposed. I think I'll send her hand sanitizer all the time now.

Ali is the worst. She wakes up in the middle of the night wheezing. I get her up and sit her up so she can drain, and she gets better. The humidifier is going all the time, too. At first I considered taking her to the doctor because I was freaked out about her breathing, but she clears up pretty quick when I sit her up, so by the time I take her in, she wouldn't be wheezing anymore. The twins have a dr appointment coming up soon, anyway.

What else is going on? I start school next week. Hopefully I will figure out a way to buy my books by then. Being broke stinks. Micah doesn't start school until September 2nd. That's 20 days. Yep, I'm counting. Not that going to school will solve all our problems, it will probably create more, actually. Still, someone else will have him for part of the day, and that alone will be nice.

I went grocery shopping finally yesterday. That was good because we were really out of food. I look forward to the time when I will be shopping with only 2 kids, though. I waited until Becca got out of school to go yesterday because it is actually easier to have her there when Micah comes with us. He follows her lead.

Micah is getting on Becca's nerves, though. Last night before we went to therapy, Becca promised Micah (because he was bugging her) that he could go in her precious pink car seat (a constant argument when we get in the car) on the way home that night. When it came to time to go home, Becca had changed her mind. Unfortunately for her, I heard the promise before class, so told her that if she promised Micah that he could sit in her seat, she had to let him. To this she responded, "I was talking to myself when I said that." So we had a short talk about telling the truth and integrity (in 5 year old words), but I don't think a whole lot sunk in because she wasn't feeling good, but I didn't really punish her. She was pretty upset when I let Micah sit in the pink seat anyway.

Well, I think that's about all that is going on. Really nothing. Here's a verse:

"The man of integrity walks securely,
but he who takes crooked paths will be found out."
Proverbs 10:9
