Should have known.......

Well, even if we aren't exposed, it seems like we get sick if the rest of the family gets sick. Glenn got sick on Wednesday and slowly progressed to full blown sick on Saturday. He stayed in bed all day on Saturday. That was the day that I stayed at the hospital with Brady and family. Glenn was feeling some better on Sunday and Monday. But on Monday I came down with, I guess the flu, we called the doctor and they wanted me to come in before they would give us any medicine but I did not feel like riding to go in so I took theraflu and hoped for the best. It is Tuesday afternoon and I'm feeling lots better. As of right now, I am planning on going to work tomorrow. Glenn has gone back to bed, he is aching all over like I was on Monday, so I am afraid he has relapsed. Talked to Tim today and Christy now has what the boys had last week. I hope she feels better today. We missed Sunday lunch, it has already made for a long week. Hopefully we will get back to normal this week. Hope everyone is having a better week than us!

Vacation!

I know that if you got to go on vacation every other week you would probably get tired but I absolutely love vacations. I love the packing (not the unpacking, so Glenn usually unpacks), buying snacks, and getting in the car and getting ready to go. I love the freedom of not having anything to have to do and nowhere to have to go to. We had a great time in Mississippi (the drive is long). But our room was great and the king jacuzzi could have fit 4 people in it easy. We met Jaime, Jay and kids, Shannon, Richard and kids in Memphis and ate at Central Barbecue. It always helps to have good looking girls with you, the manager ended up giving us free drinks! While we were gone, Brady and family all had the stomach virus. Brady ended up in the hospital on Friday for his stomach virus but he is going home this afternoon. All better! Grayson had the flu on Monday and then Hudson got the flu on Thursday so their family has been fighting the flu all week. Bomp has had a stomach virus also this week. This was definitely the week for us to leave town but didn't help much because Glenn has come down with some type of bad cold. No lunch gathering for us Sunday. We all need to get well. Don't even want to think about work yet for next week. We have a lot of birthdays coming up. We have a wedding in April. Lots of things happening in the next few months.

I have People!!!

Shannon and I had planned to go shopping Saturday morning but on Friday night Shan called and said Katie didn't feel good so she was probably not going to get to go. Allie called and told me that she & Brady were going to meet me over there so when I told Glenn on Saturday morning that I was driving by myself over there, he decided that he might go. While getting ready to go, Shannon called and said Katie was feeling better and that she was getting to go. While I was talking on the phone, Glenn said that he wasn't going to go since I had "people" going, Shannon heard him & said "did he just call us People?" We got to laughing about me having people. So, me and my "peeps" went shopping. It was a race against time, Collin had a basketball game at noon that we had to get back to see. Sometimes, I am just amazed at what all I have, husband who loves me, kids who love me, grand kids who loves me and "people". What a life I lead!!!!

Saturday & Sunday

Glenn & I drove around on Saturday afternoon. We love to just ride the roads and take a picnic meal & eat & drive. Weird, but we like it. In the area that we rode to this day, you would never guess what we saw. Reindeer, or deer that looked just like reindeer! After telling the kids, the first thing Jay said was "Did you see Santa Claus?" Good question, now I wish I had looked a little harder, but the answer was no. We marvel at the world that God created. Some of the area we drive in looks like time has stopped and no one has been around in years. Then we turn a corner and there is new construction, very strange. We had a great Sunday, lotsa of family and good food. Another birthday celebrated. I would tell you how old Welton is but I'm not sure that he doesn't read this blog! Brady starts with Mzz Terry tomorrow. There is no one that I can think of that I trust more than this lady. When Allie was just 4, her and her best friend Rebeka loved the New Kids on the Block. When Terry's husband Kevan said he was taking Rebeka and asked if he could take Allie, I said yes. There are not many people that I would have allowed to take my 4 year old with them to Houston. Poor Kevan, Allie stayed awake until the New Kids on the Block came out and then she slept in his lap the entire time. What a man! Terry will have fun with Brady, he is a sweetheart, even if I am his grandma. Grayson, Hudson, Collin & Katie had the best time in the shop today. We even loaded them up and let them see Grandpa saw down the last tree that needed to be cut in the pasture. No fighting, no fussing, just pure enjoyment of family time. What a picture perfect Sunday. Ryan and his new to be family came and it just made everything perfect. Shannon & Richard got to go to the show for the afternoon while the kids stayed with us. I know they enjoyed the time away. Back to work tomorrow, but knowing that Sunday will come again makes it worth it.
