Crazy days....

What a day. I have those from time to time:) Everyone back at school after the shooting. Counselors were in house at the high school all day. State crisis people were in to talk about Wednesday with school officials. I dropped everyone off and ran by the church office to drop off clothes for a family who lost their home in a fire. The newest news on the boy who shot himself? Alive. A comment was made that no one knew the extent of the damage. Not true. The doctors can likely trace that bullet all the way through the brain. It entered over one eye and came out on the other side in the back! There just is not reason to talk about the future right now. So much can happen right now. I cannot help but think of this family! A good kid! A horrible choice!

After leaving the office I stopped at the grocery store. While there I had a funny conversation with a lady who introduced herself to me. Her daughter is in Seth preschool class. She was telling me that Seth and Ruthie had been teaching each other the sign language they knew. How funny! Ruthie apparently knows colors and animals:) Seth knows foods:) Sign language has been our "church talk" for a long time. parents "shh shh" their children can make a lot of noise. I can catch my children's eyes across an auditorium and they all know what I am "saying". I just thought that it was neat for Seth to truly teach at his age. I should know better! I see it happening everyday at my house...but I guess it is just neat to come back to me like that:)

I bought things to fix and carry to church. We had a death in our extended church family and were serving the family lunch after the funeral.

While shopping the school nurse called to tell me that Victoria has a rash on her face.........this I know. Isabella "colored" Tori's whole face with a marker night before last. Tori, being my biggest allergy child, broke out in splotches and bumps. the fact that the marker was red did not help her look too good either. The INSIDE of her ears are still pink! I do not know why I cannot get it off there! But, she is not dying or contagious....although goofy actions might be contagious!

I went home, baked chicken, made two desserts and a pasta salad.

I had to have the food to the building at by 11, and was to have lunch with Paige Stockton, my friend I hardly ever get to see! While finishing off my preparations Sarah called from school and wanted to come home. It is currently impossible to actually call the school, so I ran in and got her when I took my food. She came in handy carrying in food.

I dropped Sarah at the house, and went to Tollhouse to meet Paige. What fun! We decided it has been a whole year since we last had lunch! Time just flies!! We are truly trying to not let it get away again this year!

After lunch I picked up Tori and took her to the doctor (just to be sure). Eczema. As I thought.

Joseph came home sick. Running fever and likely what everyone else has had!

A little laundry (lol) and little food(lol) and very little quiet time later, it was bedtime:)

Oh yes, and the picture above? John told me that his AR(Accelerated Reader) points were not what they usually were. He just has 29 this 9 weeks so far. I asked why? He replied that he was so busy and did not have time to read. I had to smile, "you mean you have chosen to not make time?" This is John favorite place to be...here with music being siphoned into his head via headphones. Now THIS is a choice:)
