WHO GAVE ME THE FLU ?

I have been exposed ....


I have a 7 year old that has his hands in just about every place you could imagine,a 14 year old that I hope is NOT kissing all the boys,a 27 year old that travels and is in contact with god knows how may people each day,and the mail seems to be a new addition(Ralph).

WHO GAVE ME THE FLU ?????

My temperature is rising
I feel my body ache
cold sweat is forming on my brow
my body starts to shake
my mind seems in a muddle
I wonder what to do
I hate this seasons
when I'm lumbered with the flu

NyQuil rattles round my tonsils
and hot drinks scorch my throat
I'm housebound in my bedroom
which ain't good in a town called Normal
I like to see the sun and stars
and trees with lovely views
I hate this seasons
when I'm lumbered with the flu

I'm sure the sky's still out there
although my shades are drawn
I'm sure the grass is still brown
and birds still sing the same old songs
I'll try to be more positive
I'm sure that I'll pull through
but I hate this seasons
when I'm lumbered with the flu. ERRRR !

I guess this is what happens.... I nursed three of the four sick'o back to health last week.That must mean I was exposed by the mail...Hmmmm

Now I have no one to take care of me or to complain to or make me chicken soup...

Well I guess this is one way to get a mini vacation to myself !

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

I have posted a cyber shamrock ,for each petal on the shamrock will brings a wish your way.


Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.






Happy St.Patrick's Day !

How much will you pay?

It was 1981, I lost my first tooth at the fault of a hockey stick.
The tooth fairy was still able to make it to my house that night.
I remember jumping out of the bed that next morning with a bit of concern,would that tooth fairy came for a tooth that fell out with a bit of help ?

To my surprise I found two shiny quarter's.

Our seven year old's third tooth was loose.Boy this tooth was loose for three weeks.It was driving everyone crazy.We had everyone down to the local bug inspector offering alliterative ways on how to get that pesky tooth out!

Remember the string on the door nob,the pliers,an apple,this one was new to me but he was told we will go to Chuckey Cheese(a pizza place for kids) if I can pull it(that was my 27 year old),even money was offered.


Our seven year old lost his third tooth on the night of Febuary 27th.







That night he carefully placed his tooth in his special tooth box. As I tucked him in for bed that night,he looks up to me. Mom do you think I could have had someone pull my tooth out for more money then the tooth fairy might give me ?

How the heck do I get smarted out by a seven year old so much ?

When he came and told me the next morning he received $3.50 for that tooth, before I could say a thing the next thing out of his mouth was Mom I will let you pull this tooth for $5.00...

Times have changed.
Word of advice,just let the tooth come out when it is ready.

P.S

67-57 in OT

We hand a great opportunity to take in a basketball game over this pass weekend at Illinois Wesleyan's, to cheer on North Park.This was not just a basketball game.This was a full family event.We had family fly in from Denver to take in this last game of the season.Not to mention this was the last game for senior Jason Gordon and his team in our home town.

We all were very excited.Our seven year old told his Uncle Jason that he made 10 points in his basketball earlier that morning. He said I bet you can't make more then 10 points.

The heat was on !

On the edge of our seats for the entire game .... The crowd was restless.


67-57 in overtime.
A victory for North Park senior Jason Gordon and his team.
North Park took control immediately in overtime as Jason Gordon nailed two 3-pointers.

This was a great way to end the season, We are so glad we had the opportunity to share this exciting event with Jason and his team and our family.





Illinois Wesleyan's Sean Dwyer goes up for a shot while North Park's Nick Williams, front, and Jason Gordon, center, put their hands up on defense during Saturday night's game.

When the game was over our seven year old said,who cares if Uncle Jason made more points then I did. I will dunk on him when I get taller then him,only after my next stops hurting from looking up at Uncle Jason.

Happy Valentines Day !

Valentine's Day is another day for thinking of those who are special part of our lives and have a special place in our hearts…

That's why it's such a perfect time for thinking of you!

Happy Valentines Day !
