Back on Schedule.. Sort Of

I am still trying to get back to my regular blogging schedule.  Today was supposed to be the first day back to school for my 3 kids.   The morning routine was not so easy this morning.  That alarm went off a bit earlier than we wanted, the routine was rusty, and one in particular did not want to get out out bed.   Remember back a week or so ago when I mentioned that 2 of my kids  had been sick over break , but one of them got off pretty easy?  Well I guess I spoke too soon.

                                                                                        

The one who got off easy over break, came down with something in the last few days and is  missing her first day back to school.   She has  a fever, cough, and sore throat. She had not wanted to get off the couch for the last 2-3 days.  I took her to the doctor today to check for strep throat.  The dr. said that the test was negative, and that we would need to wait for the long test to be sure.  It looks like just a virus though that will need to run its course.   My daughter was very happy with what she was prescribed.  Plenty of rest on the couch, ibuprofen and...

One of these days everything will be back on schedule with healthy kids.. (I hope!)

I am still on schedule for an organized coupon binder.  Last night I went through and pulled out all of the expired coupons. WOW, there were a lot that expired in December.  I think over half of my binder was expired.  I still have a few more days to get it back on track and finish it this week.
