The grand kids went home around noon and I just kept feeling worse. Sore throat, stuffy nose, aching all over, running a fever and my ears hurt. Ughh I’m sick of being sick!
It was a afternoon/evening spent mostly in bed .. sure hope I get to feeling better soon. Spring is on the way and I’m ready to get outside and get some sunshine and fresh air.
For now I’m going to be trying to get over this junk.
We enjoyed our first Easter meal at my dad’s house. It was just us and our 2 boys this year. It’s been a long time since it’s been just the 4 of us for a holiday dinner. It was great. I broke the tradition and made the boys favorite .. chili
After a beautiful day it was time to pick up the grand kids so they could spend the night with Grammy and Papa at the camper.
Wishing you all a blessed day and may you take a moment to thank Jesus Christ our Savior for all he endured for us. Thank you Jesus .. I love you for all you sacrificed for me and the world.
Tuesday I headed to watch the kids and Hailey came home with me and on Wednesday Toby joined his sister after his doctor appointment. He got a shorter cast put on his arm.

Hailey and I had ladies night out and we went to DQ for dinner. Just her and Grammy and we had a blast.
She enjoyed showing Grammy all the fun stuff in the play room
While Toby and Papa had fun at the camper
while Hailey and Grammy went swimming in the indoor pool
wore out Grand kids and grandparents too
On Saturday we headed to Jerseyville for the Easter Egg hunt. Although the kids were disappointed because of the snow storm the week before it was canceled do to the field being to muddy.
it was back to the house to find that the Easter Bunny left some good things at their dad’s place
our cute little bunnies …
they got bubbles too and the kids didn’t find it too cold to play .. although grammy and papa did!
before we knew 4 days flew by and it was time for the kids to go home with their mom. We had a great time but now Papa and Grammy need some R & R time
Yesterday was the calm before the storm .. this morning the snow started coming down
and it just kept on coming down
and coming down .. the wind is blowing and it’s a white out .. hmm
Mother nature seems to have forgotten that it’s spring!
I have had the flu bug all week long! I thought on Wednesday I was feeling better but that afternoon it came back with a vengeance. Finally on Friday I woke up feeling better and I think it’s safe to say I have gotten rid of that pesky bug! Hubby on the hand came down with it Friday morning and so it’s looking to be another ruff week around here.
Since I had been sick all week long and hubby I now down with it we had to cancel getting the grand kids. Their spending the weekend with their dad at the house and were staying in the camper.
Today temps were in the 50’s! It felt like a heat wave and even enjoyed a bit of time out in the sunshine! Of course it’s the calm before the storm as they are predicting a winter storm warning where we could get up to as much as 8-10 inches of snow!
That ground hog flat out lied! I guess one thing about cold temps .. it’s make a day like today feel good.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
5 years ago today my beloved mother passed away. It’s amazing how time flies .. Mom even though your no longer here with us on earth you are still in our hearts. We love you and miss you everyday. May you be resting in peace and enjoying your loved ones up there. Love you and miss mom.
On Friday we received the word that our grandson Toby does in fact have Autism. It was no shock to the family as it has been suspected for some time. Toby has been diagnosed to be moderately. So Monday night my ex daughter in law to be and his daddy and I went to a meeting in Springfield where they teach you about how to deal with the children with special needs. Papa stayed home with the kids and had fun babysitting.
Of course we are thankful that it could be much worse. We have been dealing with Toby’s special needs since he came into this world and so there really isn’t any difference to us. We love him and will continue to deal with his needs. I think his mother wanted the diagnoses so that the school would deal with him in a better way. Their all about the paper work.
I managed to struggle through the meeting as I knew I was coming down with something. I started running a fever and aching all over in the midst of the meeting. Once we got out to the car I took some Tylenol to help with the fever and aching. Once we got home it got worse and so I went to bed.
I woke up during the night and you can guess what happened …. YEP .. it started coming out both ends .. them little grands gave me their flu they had last week!
Of course it’s still cold outside and even though the sun is shining the wind is blowing and even though tomorrow is the first day of spring and of course it’s only going to be around 35 degrees! Ughhh I’m so ready for warmth and able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.
Hope you are all having a great day!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! It’s been a busy week, mostly spending it with the grand kids. Wednesday both kids were home from school sick and so Grammy and Papa took care of them. Thursday was a day of running and doing some errands and legal things.
Friday was nice it was 60’s degrees but I didn’t really get to enjoy it as I watched Toby Friday morning and took him to school after lunch and then at 3.30 PM We had a great weekend spending it with the grand kids.
We picked the kids up after school on Friday. Friday night Hailey and I went swimming while Papa and Toby stayed home to play. Toby still has his cast so no swimming for him for awhile. We played and then it was time to pull the bed out and get ready for bed .. well they played a bit more Wii before we finally shut it off to lay down
Hailey texting on her phone .. and Toby helping Papa take a nap .. hmmm
I think there was more play then napping .. lol
Sunday late afternoon their dad came to take them home .. of course daddy stopped to see them after work on Friday and Saturday .. After the grand kids left it started snowing again.
We’ve had snow flakes off and on all day but luckily so far nothing has been sticking.
I picked up both kids for a the weekend. It’s been cold here and spring doesn’t seem to be anywhere near .. Easter is in a few weeks and it’s looking to be a cold Easter this year.
Life has been very busy for us since our return and I’m sure that Spring and Summer will be just as busy. Hope you having a great day where ever you are.
