Happy 30th Birthday, Jo

Jo turned 30 on Friday. Rob's birthday is this coming Wednesday. Nick had his first sick day on Thursday. He pretty much crashed on the couch. Ellie came home from school on Thursday and her eyes were watery and her head was hot. We got some vitamin c into her and we were able to keep her from really getting sick. Both kids went to school on Friday.
Ellie got 100% on her science test - woo hoo. I was able to run to some rummage sales on Friday and get a couple bags of clothes to flip. Friday night I dropped Ellie off at Niles North for homecoming. She helped with the concessions with her friend Kylie. Nick and I went to the new Mariano's in the city. We picked up dinner and got a couple of their huge caramel apples. We came home and ate and watched a movie.
Saturday morning the kids and I ran to the bank for a special bank buckets game and an ice cream treat. We returned books to the library and then Jo, Te and Tony came to pick us up. We hit some garage sales and thrift stores and had lunch. We ran into Target for basics - the kids found their lunchboxes for next year at 75% off.
Both kids came home and crashed - their illness comes in waves. We had dinner and watched a movie and then got them to bed early. This morning Rob went to church and the kids and i stayed home and cleaned up. Ellie made cupcakes to celebrate Jo and Rob's birthdays. I made some banana toffee bread. We went to Mom and Dad's for dinner. Mom made Jo and Rob's favorites - macaroni and cheese, ribs, squash, salad, fruit. It was a nice meal. We had dessert and got going home.
Visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree
