Catching our breaths

We've had a heck of a week around here, but the end is in sight! On Sunday, I awoke with the stomach flu. We had spent Saturday evening with several other families, and between everyone five of us awoke Sunday with the flu. After much discussion, we can't pinpoint anything that all of us ate, so we can only assume it was some sort of bug. Yuck! I felt much better by Monday, just in time to begin our whirlwind week. I spent Monday basically disinfecting the house and trying to get things back in order after our weekend. Tuesday I was scheduled to work, and that evening my husband had dinner plans with some guys from work. I had to drop JR off at karate early so that I could get JC to girl scouts. They had a field trip to the Auntie Anne's pretzel place at the mall. She loved it, but didn't get home until after 9. Even today, two days later, she is still dragging and I'm just hoping she can keep herself together to behave at school. Wednesday I had to work again, and unlike Tuesday's angelic class, it was a heck of a day. What a group! I also had a conference with a teacher yesterday afternoon, and my wonderful husband had conferences of his own at school. Everyone crawled into bed very tired people last night! Fortunately, we had an hour delay here this morning, and I was pleased that the kids actually slept the extra hour. They obviously needed it! Today I need to get some errands accomplished and some laundry folded because I'm scheduled to work again tomorrow. HT also has scouts this evening, but in about 30 hours our weekend begins! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
