Thursday.

Jason and Zach from Monday.

Both boys are sick and have been since Tuesday night. Fevers. Vomit. The usual. And the hubby has been out of town since Tuesday morning too.

Thankfully a co-worker, Becca, has brought groceries and taken Jason to school today. I kept him home yesterday just to rest. I'll be shocked if he doesn't catch this.

Last night, I let the boys eat a bowl of snow, thinking it'd be a great way to push liquids. Jason then said, "It's like we are eating Frosted Flakes.. Literally." What a smartie.. Goof.

Books. You may have noticed, or not that I did not set a specific number for a goal to read this year. Last year, over the last few months, it became about pushing myself and that number higher. (I read 78 total.) This year I don't want that. Plus I figure if I can read anywhere between 38-78 books in a year, that's still amazing. This year I am also starting out with a To Do List of books on my shelf that need to be read first, before I buy/checkout anymore. That list has 15 on it and I already have 2 down. This will also be the year of the harder reads. Some longer and tougher books.. On that list is Gone with the Wind 1400+ pages, The Kite Runner (On Afghanistan) and some large classics Anna Karina by Tolstoy with 960 pgs, and Madame Bovary.

I ordered Jason's birthday present yesterday and paid $10 for two day shipping. We sent out 11 invitations today and his party is on the 22nd at 11:00 for those that can attend.

I have a Mom's Night Out this Saturday. I need it.

And this week, I cooked a Hamburger Helper Jambalaya. It was great and I added corn to the mix. It was amazing. Try it.
