one of those happy moments when all 5 kids play together like they are best friends:

But now we are all sick. At least all of the little ones are sick and i am trying to keep everyone going but we are just in survival mode. We are not eating meals, doing chores, or getting homework done. We are laying on the couch, drinking juice instead of milk, and watching a lot of television. Ray and Millie were bad yesterday but sleeping it off today, like Ray didn’t get up for the day until 2pm! Rose and Cali are bad today. I’m hoping tomorrow is recovery day and the big boys never get it and we can resume life. Of course this is an incredibly busy week of work for Ben and we have barely seen him. Sometimes life just comes crashing down all at once.

But if this is my worst case scenario then I will take it because I know plenty of people out there that would think my day today was a cake walk compared to the trials that they endure. And for the record I would agree with them. I would choose this trial over most others. And we got to start off the week with some of my brothers and delicious cinnamon rolls made by Megan. Then the sickness set in and I just got Sundays dishes done. Now I am clearly babbling. I could probably use some fresh air … (I should proof read but Millie needs me)…
