Update....

Tues - Thur = flu bug.....Fri - now = cold....we're taking it easy and fighting bugs.....

Cy took the SAT yesterday. He thinks he did fine but would like to take it again in May. Sounds good to me. He's leaning towards the local university and a business degree these days. I can see him interested in business. Owning a business has been a common theme through all his life's goals from the time he was LITTLE. I told him I was all for it...that "someone in this family needed to go get a job that will MAKE MONEY so they can take care of Mike and I in our old age". ::snort:: It was a truly touching mother/son moment....honest it was. LOL

Jamin has finished re-writing his book. We made two copies for the time being...one for Mike and I and one to send to Becky. He wants to set up a focus group but his mentor thinks that he won't get honest feedback. Thinking through the next step. If he was following the CWG "program", he would be writing to publish NEXT year in the Squire program and THAT is the year that they will tell him how to find an agent etc. He also would have attended the writer's conference this year or wait to try to publish until he attends next year....but there is no way I was sending him to Co Springs to meet with publishers ALONE. He isn't keen on the idea of setting the book on a shelf until he hits the right spot in their time line. I suspect he'll do what he can alone, and if still not making headway will follow the time line as he gets to it next year.

Not sure what else we did yesterday. Slept, rested, read, slept some more.... Jamin took the younger ones to the park...I mainly slept.

Five of us are fighting colds. We opted to stay home today and fight them....smoothies filled with Vit C, lots of rest, fluids, tea tree steams etc. We should buy STOCK in Kleenex.

Sis: Glad you are maybe feeling a bit better. Have missed you on your blog. Praying for Jamin as he proceeds with his book. How exciting for him and frustrating at the same time.

Heading over to the hospital just now.
