I’m still feverish. I’ve depleted my magazine supply and have successfully surmised that there is nothing worth watching on tv during the day. I’m frustrated because I want to be up doing things but have no energy nor feel like moving much. I’m up more today than yesterday. If I’m running a fever tomorrow, then I’ll go to the doc. Since my fever has been so high (up to 103 a personal all time best), I more than likely have a virus which means it can’t be treated with antibiotics and it’ll just have to run it’s course. I’m hoping the kids don’t get it though.

On the stomach bug front, Ace is almost over it. Liam had a little bit of diarrhea yesterday, so we’ll see.

Keep praying that none of the kids get it. Especially little Josiah.

We’ll have a happy Thanksgiving. Not sure it’s going to be the ideal one that I was hoping for. I’ve been running a fever since Sunday and been achy all over. Today, Ace has successfully had an upset stomach that leaked all the way on to his undies. I guess we’re fulfilling my family’s tradition of having someone sick on a holiday. Ace and I like to go together.

Thankfully (since it’s Thanksgiving), Mark took off today to help me out. He only has half a day tomorrow but I’m not sure if he’s going to go in or not. Then he’ll be off from Wednesday on which will help a tremendous amount.

*When Josiah finishes eating, Mark will grab him and ask him if he’s “tanked” up. I just think that’s cute. Josiah always grins so I guess he thinks it’s cute too.

*My dad calls Josiah, J.B. Which is a good thing because this past weekend, he introduced him as Joshua…oops! I like the nickname, and again, Josiah thinks it’s great because he grins at my dad all the time.

Gotta run get my floors ready to shine! I sure hope they’re able to get them clean…they need to be cleaned so badly.

Well, today is the day I surprised my mom and came into this world. As story goes, I couldn’t wait to get here and she delivered me within 30 minutes of getting to the hospital. I’ve been rushing about ever since. I wish one of my babies came out that fast.

Anyway, I digress. Mark has been treating me like a queen this week including gifts for every day of the week. Since my birthday is on a Wednesday, we will be celebrating at church tonight…which is good because all of our friends will be there. So for my cool gifts:

On Monday, I got some Edy’s LOADED Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream…we shared that all around with friends who came over, thankfully!

On Tuesday, I got a new cell phone. My old one would turn off at odd times, including when I have emergencies. I love this new one. For those that don’t know, we don’t use the expensive plans for cell phones because we just don’t use them frequently enough. We have VOIP (don’t ask me to explain, I still don’t understand…but I know it’s cheap), so I don’t have to use my cell to make long distance calls. So, we go with prepaid cell phones and our cell bills total about $20 a month or less and sometimes (when we take long trips) are a little more. This is a nice flip phone and he even got me a carrier for it…very convenient.

Today, I got a nice certificate for my carpet to be cleaned (yes, that’s what I asked for…I’m old, bear with me). I also got my hubby home from work early, to work out at the gym, and some cards, and a sweet cd from my in-laws.

Tomorrow, I get to go hang out with some MOPS moms in the evening and on Friday, my carpet will actually be cleaned and Mark is staying home from work to help with the kids since the carpet people will be here at 8:30!!!

Needless to say, I am having a great birthday…if it weren’t so hot!!!

Life is good 🙂
