S. had to miss school today. He had a fever last night and when he woke up he seemed fine and his fever was gone. So we got ready, picked up A. and headed to school. When we got there S. was acting sick again. His fever was back. One of the teachers checked it and we had to turn around and head right home. I fought feelings of embarrassment on the way home because there were other parents around when we got to school. I say 'fought' because my feelings were so ridiculous. I'm too worried about what other people think... We took A's carseat back to her mama and went home. Got my baby in his pj's and made him lay on the couch. He took a really good nap and woke up all better. He'll be back at school on Thursday.

Made this delicious recipe for dinner tonight. Worked, all day. Monday's are rough. But I've found that if I work hard on Mondays, the rest of my week is lots easier. Found put one of my fellow teachers is the new site coordinator for CD. Very excited for her. She was a natural born leader for our team. I'm hoping to step into that role. I decided to start by taking the burden of our weekly newsletter from her. I'm a little nervous about it, but excited to be able to help my team in this way. I'm really settling into my job this year and really enjoying it.

Daddy came home today. Filled the freezer with more fish! Can't say I was very nice to him when he did. I don't like it when he leaves anymore. I'm thinking I should go with him from now on. All I need is a full time nanny... And a lot of motion sickness meds.

Daddy is still gone. We did absolutely nothing today. Sat in front of the tv all day long. We did take a break to pick up co-op and then came right back to the couch. Got an interesting FB message yesterday. One of my friends is praying about starting a mom's group. I'm so excited! Praying for her vision. I hope this becomes reality. It would be so great.

Daddy left for a two day fishing trip. Feeling a little depressed. Mom came to the salon with me to help as all three of the boys got haircuts. Cut all of Si's hair off and was so sad to see him look like a little boy. He's almost 5, my baby is almost 5! Mom and I talked about going to dinner possibly so I had Si call Papa. He can't say no to the boys! We met at Mimi's and had a nice time. I asked their opinion on which school to send Si to. Dad said Topaz wins! Still praying, we will see.

My schedule was empty today and I was so excited I took pictures of my empty date books. This is a rare occasion, I had to celebrate somehow. Silas went to school, I went for a run while the little ones watched a movie. Then we had study in the evening. Still working on talking to people more. I'm trying to get out of my shell, but it's hard. Praying for more boldness.

Had to get out today. Been feeling like that all week. It's the time of year and the weather has been beautiful. Not as warm as I would like, but beautiful. Took the kids to the play area in the mall and bought them happy meals. We had a good time. Bean threw a huge fit, when I didn't give him something he wanted. He is officially not a baby anymore. He's arrived at the disciplinary stage. Took him the longest out of everyone. A new phase.
