Fast and Testimony Meeting

I don't know if I am going through a mid-life crisis or what. I feel like I am always in a whirlwind of emotions. Oh how I wish I could get a grip on my life sometimes.
Cami is still home from school. She has staff infection under her nose and is highly contagious. She went back to the doctor yesterday and is now on an antibiotic as well as a cream that has to be applied three times a day. Elli has had a horrible cough for the last month. They say is is a virus and she will just have to fight it off. They did prescribe a good cough medicine so I might be able to get some sleep. Elli sleeps just fine but when I hear her start coughing my instinct is to jump up and check on her, so that is what I do. I usually end up on the couch with her asleep on my chest. That way I can hear her breathing. Maybe this is why my emotions are on edge. I am definitely not getting enough sleep.
Tyler has been busy peeling logs after school with Dylan and TJ. They can make about $30 to $40 in an hour and a half. Not bad for a high school job.
Kody has been begging me to let him back to football practice. I told him when he can run on it without limping then I will let him. He slipped his meniscus (can't spell) in his knee. If he injures it again I am sure he will have to have surgery.
Hailey loves being in Mrs. Johnson's class. She is every one's favorite teacher. She always has the best stories. She has almost finished reading one of the Harry Potter books. I can't wait to move on to another one and I have threatened her with her life and everything in it, if she reads another one of those ridiculously long books. She looses interest too fast and would rather read some girly book.
Lexie is taking violin from Melanie Moulton. She is a great teacher and Lexie is always excited to see her. We are going to start working on letter sounds. She really wants to learn to read.
I will have to post some pics next time of our house. We are so close but it seems so far away. I love this house. It is not my dream house but I love it.
I really do need to be so thankful for a great family. Especially my parents. They are such a great support for me. They act as though I am the best mom ever and that my kids are perfect. I hope that I will think the same about my family. I truly love being a mom. It makes me want to run away on a daily basis but for the most part I love being with them more than with any one else in the world. I am also thankful for old friends who are still very dear to my heart. I never feel like they are judging me for the kind of clothes we wear or the kind of house or car that we drive. I love them even though I don't see them often. I am also thankful for being able to serve in my church callings. I need to serve others because I know I have been blessed beyond any of my comprehension. WOW! what just got into me. It sounds like fast and testimony meeting today. I truly am blessed. Ta Ta!
