Joys In My Life

I've actually been working on our meal plans lately, even though I haven't been posting them. I have one from last week in my Control Journal and I just finished the one I'm going to post on my calendar for this week. I'm starting to get into a routine of going to the grocery store Sunday after church. The past two weeks I've just made sure I had meals I could do from what I was getting at the store and then I worked the meal plan on paper later. Here's this week - Sunday and Monday are over, but they were good. Plus, I know what I'm doing with the leftovers from Monday - Friday's dinner!

Hi all - Last week was the week from hell. Both the boys were sick. Turns out it's RSV, but Tommy got the worst of it. The pediatrician even sent us to the local children's hospital ER for a chest XRay to rule out pneumonia and they did the RSV test, which came back positive. Then two days later, he was officially diagnosed with an ear infection. This is the third ear infection in the past three months!!! Thankfully, our pediatrician is really good and she's keeping track of that. She wants to see him in 6-8 weeks if we don't see her sooner with another ear infection. The worst part is that Tommy was so lethargic. It's so hard to see my rough and tumble boy just want to lie on someone and watch his little brother play. And the weather!!! Snow, snow, snow! It looks like last year did with the huge piles of snow on the sides of the streets in our neighborhood. Phoebe only had 1 full day of school last week! Monday and then a 2 hour delay on Friday. Othe...
