Why is it.....

As soon as Mike leaves town, something happens. This time, well, it started with Sarah running a fever. After taking her to the doctor, it was nothing more than a fever. Thus, a fever makes her not sleep well (and me). Now, I am a little bit grouchy. Monday, we survived. Now, to Tuesday where Sarah felt the worst, was not too bad.....until after school. The phone rings, we have soccer practice, Caleb and Grace decide to throw every caffeinated beverage in the house against the bricks in the front yard.....they were soaked, cold and in trouble. So, the second night with little sleep and no caffeine, we are out late with soccer practice and I can't get Sarah to bed. Well, after a long night and we are on Wednesday. I just wanted sleep. But, the phone keeps ringing, the little ones don't want to go down, and the big two get out early. So, off to the Y to entertain kids (and reach our quota for the month). On the way home, a stop to the local Diamond Shamrock for a DP!! All is well with the world with the first drink!!! Kids finally down (Caleb was up and down, drank 2 cups of water, and ate an apple by 9:15) and I am blogging!! So, I guess with all that said, I should be praising God that I can still write, my kids are healthy (now), I have food, a bed and a husband (even though he is in Atlanta)!! Could I possibly be any more blessed!!?? Thank You Lord for getting me through this week!!
