Sick kids and husband

Well, there hasn't been much to say here lately because the only thing I've been doing is making chicken soup, and going to the store for Kleenex and cough syrup. Megan, Chris, and Grace are pretty much over it. Lawson is on the mend. Billy has been sick for at least a week. Chloe's started Friday. They have had sore throats, coughs, runny noses, headaches, body aches, nausea, you name it! So far I haven't gotten it and I don't plan to. I hate being sick. So, we are lying low this week. I've used this time to do my spring cleaning and decluttering. Billy is coming home today from being out of town since Thursday. I miss him. I have a big pot of homemade Beef Stew simming on the stovetop waiting for him to get here. I've never made beef stew before but it looks and smells delicious! I am almost finished decluttering the office/classroom. I only have the kids arts and crafts drawers to go through and I really don't want to. I have them clean them out regularly but they still get so messy. And if I throw away so much as a broken crayon they will find out about it. For some reason the arts and crafts stash is their absolute favorite possessions. It is my least favorite. Well, that's all folks. Hopefully the excitement and activity will pick up here soon. We have a couple of good field trips coming up and the kids start archery lessons in a couple of weeks so I'll have some pictures of something interesting soon. Have a great week!
