Sam is still sick, so I have spent much of my day doing laundry, pottering about in my bedroom while he lays flopped on the bed listlessly, occasionally throwing up. It's still from the cough...all phlegmy - sorry - you really wanted to know that didn't you???? Poor little guy has no energy.
I spent some time going through Abigails homeschooling paperwork.....checking what we have done this year, what, if anything we need to work on before the end of the year etc etc. I sorted out some parcels to go in the mail.
Abby worked on maps today and story starters as well. She also sat on the bed and read some stories to Sam.
Linda phoned about the camping trip next for Chris' class. It's Thursday and Friday night at the lake and I may or may not be staying Thursday night. I already said I can't make it Friday night as I have plans (lol Val - YOU know why I cant make it the Friday night!!!!It's THE Friday night of the YEAR!!!!!) But the camping trip is sounding good and I am so so pleased they are going - they're using our tent as one of the tents which is fine - in fact they may use both our tents if our old tent still works - we'll try it this weekend and maybe I will camp out with the kids. If the ground dries out.
It's STILL raining - but thats good really as it means the ground is getting SUCH a great soaking and the pond level was soooooo low this year - we didn't get the big flood we normally get this year - normally when the snow melts we get this big flood and the pond overflows but that didn't happen this year and the pond level is really low so hopefully this will help a little. The fire bans in Edmonton have been lifted already so thats good.
Tonight Chris has the dentist - some quick work before his orthodontist appointment. Lloyd is taking him so I can stay home with Sam in the warm.
Last night Lloyd and I ran into town to get some dog food and grabbed a coffee. I picked upa new book to read. 'Me to We by Karl and Marc Kielburger. You can read more about it at:
www.metowe.org/
The book that’s showing the world that one person can make a difference is now a New York Times Best Seller! Me to We is a philosophy, a manual, a manifesto and a movement. It's about finding meaning in our lives and our world by reaching out to others.
Chris has a leadership meeting at school right now so I have to go pick him up in a few minutes...he's organizing the leaving party for when they graduate Junior High in a few weeks. He was chosen to run leadership a couple of weeks ago when the teacher who was running it left to have a baby.
Laurie came home to say a boy in Chris's class was expelled from school today - so I will be interested to hear what happened and if thats true - as its not a boy who is normally in trouble! In fact this is a boy who was Chris's swap partner for Christmas gifts last year and came to our door on Christmas morning with a gift for Christopher!!!
Lloyd is on his way home from work :)
I hope Sam is better tomorrow - Abigail has requested to go somewhere specific and I am supposed to be out for dinner with Val in the evening. We were supposed to be going to Smiles10101010101010101 (lol I don't know her real name lol) party in the evening but its postponed because Tina's little guy is in hospital, so we are going to go out anyway.......after Sam being ill I am soooo looking forward to it :) Not that I wasn't anyway but...well you know what I mean :) I just hope Sam is well enough that he isn't clingy! Mind you he normally clings to Lloyd and not me anyway lol!
