Blogging with Breeze: Home with Kids [sick and well]

Thursday March 5th 2009

I suppose there are better ways for some people to spend their day besides with their sick children right?

Well short of locking them in a closet after a shot of Tylenol or antibiotics and looking in on them in 8 hours, what else are you supposed to do?

I enjoy when the kids are home with me; I mean Jude's always with me anyway as he isn't even pre-school material right now.

2 years old and Momma's baby is staying with me until such time I decide to leave the house again, and I don't see that happening right now.

The 'pre-school' programs around town here IMHO are just folks in a building over-charging for babysitting services. They have kids coming and going all day and that isn't pre-school to me.

Now when Jasmine was 3 we put her in the Bear Cub Academy at the elementary school in Gibsonburg and it was great. It did cost us $100 bucks a month for 3 days and her second year was actually just a repeat of the first. Go figure! I won't be doing that again.

-So both kids are here, and if your kids are anything like mine, unless they have the flu, it doesn't matter how sick they are, they are running around.

Of course they would love to be playing 'Rock Band' or any other PS3 game I would let them, or even better they would love to be outside tearing it up. NOT TODAY KIDS!

We told our 7 yr old, no running and jumping, just chill and let your body get better this time. She has been working this one out of her system for just over a week and I think it's the last bit just about gone.

She has ice skating next week also, so we told her get better this weekend and be ready for a nice field trip where you are well.

She's chilling right now, maybe watching Mary Poppins still, and my little man is jumping on my bed of course, so I better get him to lie down for his morning nap.

If he waits for afternoon and gets tied up playing and running, he is a bear come 8:00 p.m. when it's time to settle down.

I'm gonna be logging on to parentsconnect.com and checking out about their sleep suggestions for kids and all, so maybe I will post about the later.

But when it comes to children sick or not, my children, I love having them around.
They are fiercely independent with a healthy dose of 'kiss my as*', but we created that and I love them attitude and all.

Sooooooooo, I will be checking my Twitter, Facebook and MySpace accounts off and on today; and in the mean time setting up my local rag ad for puppies I have to sell this week.

Hope Life is treating you and your loved ones good and you find a scripture or quote to meditate on today.
