Well, nuts. Figured we were on the mend here, with the cold virus thingy finally leaving us, but youngest son is getting sick now, and middle daughter has a bit of a cough. Plus, three of 'em are still coughing from a week ago. And I had a spell of anemia yesterday, and had to avoid bending down too much because it made me dizzy. Seems with the kids sick, I've been lax in taking my vitamins including the ever-important iron. I say 'nuts' again.
That's my story, as sickroom-ish as it is. Maybe if I can push the vacuum around today, and wipe up the flat surfaces, the house won't look so peaky. It seems a bit frazzled with neglect.
Fortunately, there are things for the 2 girls to do with their schoolwork without too much help from me. Plus they're painting the dollhouse one of the brothers made a few years back. Their project is to paint and decorate it this week. And youngest son (when he's feeling better) will make a comic book about the folks who live in the dollhouse, and fourth son will write a story (he writes a LOT) about the boy who's writing the comic book about the dollhouse. A trickle down assignment. Came to me the other night when I was wrestling with not wanting to get slam into the basic school courses and wanting to be more creative with them.
Well, must go and be productive, or as much so as I can with still feeling a bit under the weather. Won't run any marathons today! That darned anemia does make a person feel weary, but I'm glad I know how to solve it. Maybe I needed to slow down anyway.
Enjoy your day. :)
