I need this guy to wake me up and get me back on track. I feel like such a slacker lately. For about a month now I've been putting off daily tasks, running late, pushing things aside....totally not me. I don't know what it is. I feel lazy and tired and out of it. I need to get back on track with things. Maybe it's the winter doldrums....I did notice as the weather was nicer, I was beginning to feel better. Of course, now the temp has dropped and it's supposed to be cold for the next week. I'm giving myself till Monday to be mopey, then, I'm gonna kick it up a notch! LOL.....
Anyhoo, Betsy is sick today. She can't swallow and she is nauseous. Unfortunately strep is going around and the kids are getting it not once but twice. I have a doctors appointment for her tonight at 7:00....which should tell you something about how many people are sick right now! Luckily wee one is feeling good....
I've got a room mother "appreciation reception" this morning. I have never been to one in all the years I've done this. I wonder what they will do? I know there will be refreshments and door prizes. Maybe I'll win something spectacular. Then again, maybe I'll just get my fill of coffee and sweets and come home with an extra pound of fat....yeah, that is probably how it will go. One nice thing though, one of my room mom helpers called me yesterday to make sure I was going so we could sit together. I really like her....she's got a great sense of humor and is a genuinely nice lady.
My sister will be leaving for home on Sunday. She has spent the past two weeks at my mom's, visiting and helping her with my dad. I know it will be hard for her to leave this time, as we are to the point where the question of "will I ever see him again" is having to be delt with. I know my mom has really enjoyed having someone in the house to eat with and talk with and just "be" with. I'll be sad to see her go as well. I spent the day with dad yesterday, so that mom and Jody could go out and spend some time just enjoying the day. He slept most of the time, only waking up one or two times to ask where my mom was. It was sweet.
Well, I'm off to get wee one ready for school. I hope everyone enjoys their Friday!!!!

Did you get a fabulous prize? It's great that you are appeciated. Here's to you.
I think we all have times when we slacken off a bit, but we pick up again fairly quickly. I like the rooster, he is cute :) Jules xxxxxxx

I sure hope Betsy gets better soon! Keep us posted!! They have had to close down schools here due to the flu...
