Taking time to feel better.

I've been marking my calendar of the days I've had my children home from school this month. It has been quite a bit for President's Day, teacher in-service, and sickness. No wonder I am missing them now that all of them have been at school the past two days. Joseph stayed up late last week and sure enough he had a terrible cough and has been feeling sick. Even if you're young, staying up too late takes a toll on your immune system. Joseph doesn't get to go to the rainy campout with the scouts this weekend. We are going to get him better at home. Celia was feverish and I had her stay home one day this week. I was messing around with my camera and we took a few pictures. Despite being under the weather we had a great day together at home. Soup,  a lot of fluids, and some meds helped this crew. Usually I am all for the children being in school, now I feel, as they grow older I can appreciate my time with them and cherish it.
