I am sick today and have barely gotten out of bed because of how I’m feeling. I keep going from feeling extremely cold to extremely hot. My throat is sore and my voice is barely here. My eyes are watery and have trouble focusing even with my glasses on and they want to close and rest. Mostly though, my head just doesn’t feel good at all. I feel like I have cotton in my ears and my brain is too slow to keep up with any conversation, especially one with Noelle who inserts made-up names which I can’t understand under normal situations. Along with all that is the dull ache that won’t go away in my forehead and temples.
Thankfully, Jeremy has the day off and he is helping the kids with their chores and keeping them mostly occupied. Noelle and AnnaBeth have been in here a few times to talk or sometimes I think they just want to check on me. They come in and look at me then head back out and close the door. I think I’ll have each of the kids come in and talk to me for a little while so I can spend a little time with them and tell them I appreciate the way they are trying to keep it all nice and quiet (well, a low roar) in the house.
Anyway, I thought I’d tell you that I found a cute little jumper pattern at Walmart that goes from size 3 to 8. Noelle is size 3 and Amie and Christine are size 8, so it should work for all of my girls. James asked what I might make for him sometime and I told him that I’d look for a vest pattern, then his only nice white shirt that he wears almost every week to church on Sundays would have some different things to wear with it. I found a Jo Ann’s Fabric store about 10 or so miles away, so I want to check it out once I’m better.
