FOR TODAY, January 28, 2009
Outside my window… It is getting dark. We’ve had snow–it’s still fluffy, and the fir trees look like they’ve been frosted!
I am thinking… that I am tired of researching illnesses!
I am thankful for… friends who share their herbs and natural remedies with me!
From the learning rooms… Not much. Almost all the children are sick!
From the kitchen… chicken spaghetti, salad and Italian bread–yum!
I am wearing… a black turtleneck with a red and black plaid corduroy jumper.
I am creating… herbal concoctions!
I am reading… mostly herb and health books right now, as well as researching whooping cough! Other than that, still working through Assumptions that Affect Our Lives, The Heart of the King, and Listening to the Language of the Bible.
I am hoping… my sick children get over this coughing soon! (Supposedly it is not whooping cough, but we are taking precautions and taking antibiotics because I am convinced it is!)
I am hearing… Cassia in the kitchen finishing supper and giving directions to the boys, who are helping Leah set the table–whoever’s laundry day it is sets the table and gets to pick where everyone sits–except my husband and me!
Around the house… another daughter just joined the "set the table" brigade! The others are upstairs, resting or reading.
One of my favorite things… is vanilla yogurt!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Get well!!! Other than that, continue trying to declutter…maybe I should quit trying! Everybody gets sick when I do! 
I also want to get a few jumpers made.
Here is picture thought I am sharing…
Our barn, through a hole in the siding–taken from the inside of a bedroom upstairs that is being worked on!!!
(No wonder it was so cold in there!!!)
we have sooooo been there. after we had whooping cough, next summer we had chicken pox.
pray you make quick recovery. they always seem to want to keep it hsh. the vacs dont work and are dangerous.
hi Trisch! We had Whooping cough two winters ago! It was not fun!!! I found a website where I could listen to a classic whoop style cough. You might want to check that out. There's not a lot you can do and it took them months to be completely free of the cough . . .
