Unit 10 Blog

I cannot believe it is the end of the term already, but I have to say that I am glad. This has been a rough term for me academically and personally. This blog has been great. Although I do not see myself getting on to update it or anything after the class is over. There just doesn't seem like there is enough hours in the day to have anything extra on my plate. I have enjoyed sharing personal stories and getting feedback from classmates and everyone is just so sweet. I hope everyone has a great spring/summer and luck to those of us who have more terms ahead : ).

I would love for the snow to go away and it warm up. It has snowed more this winter than I can remember in a long time. It is pretty the first couple of times it snows, but then you do not want to see it anymore. My kids have missed about 3 weeks of school all together because of the weather. My little girl has never been so sick than what she has been lately. She had strep throat, flu, and two ear infections all at once this week. Needless to say we spent some time at the hospital with her. I can say I am thankful so far no one else in the house has gotten sick and are showing no signs of illness. Today is the first day in the last three days she has eaten food so I think she is finally getting better. This makes me very happy because there is nothing worse than seeing your children suffer when there is nothing you can do.

Being on bed rest with 4 children and a husband who works all day is absolutely miserable. Not only is it boring but it is hard on everyone. I have my niece who is 13, two 6 yr olds, and a 2 yr old. My niece is well behaved and helps as much as possible with the other kids, but guilt is setting in on me. She is just a child herself and she should not have to do all of these extra things and I feel horrible about it. What in the world do I do? I pray that the placenta moves so that we can get back to normal around my house. Where the kids are kids and my husband works and I do everything else, that's how I like it. I really am not a complainer normally so I apologize. I do have to be positive in the aspect that the baby is doing great and will continue doing great as long as I do as the doctor says.
