Here we go

Well, its Monday. The snow has gone. The school is open. The school bus is running. Hopefully I can get back to normal, whatever that is.

Last week was a nightmare. Mia became ill at the start of the week. She had a stomach bug. Aaron caught it off her on Tuesday. We had snow on Wednesday but I wouldn't let the kids play in it because they were ill. Mia didn't really care, she's never played in the snow. Aaron on the other hand was not a happy bunny :-(

I was hoping I had escaped the bug. Wednesday night I was prooved wrong. Thursday was the hardest day of the whole week. Trying to cook for the kids while I was so ill I could hardly stand. To top it all off, Aaron then decided he didn't want his food. He wanted a biscuit instead. When I said no he came out with "It's not fair!". I went mad! He has developed an attitude at 4. It has to stop. I think what I said to him did the trick though.

By Friday, Aaron was better. So was I. Mia was still unwell. She had also developed a very painfull nappy rash. I decided she needed a helping hand so I got my oil burner out with some peppermint. That seemed to help her stomach. She is still sore, but it is getting better.

Sunday I went to church with Aaron. Mia wanted to come with us but she was not well enough. She felt better about being left out when I told her Grandad wasn't well and I asked her to look after him. She loves helping.

I have decided to try and put together a concert to raise funds for my mum's marathon. She is running for FSID in memory of my first daughter, Kira. I asked my good friend if he would help out with the music, organisation and piano playing. He is happy to but I need permission to use the church hall. I need to ask 3 people, 2 of them said yes. Ross needs to ask the other one. Lets hope he remembers.

My saxophone, that I bought new year's eve, has been neglected a bit this week. Couldn't really play while I was ill. I played a bit today and I actually finished "The Complete Saxophone Player". I just need to play lots of music as much as I can now. Hopefully I will be good enough to play in church soon. Then I'll have my flute and my sax and I can chop and change between them, dependant on the music. I will be taking my sax to rehearsals tomorrow. I hope they like it.
