Courageous Joy

SUNDAY

Sometime in the middle of the night it became apparent that Zander could not breathe. Stacia was also stuffy. In the a.m. I discovered that Arielle and Nolan had sore throats, coughs, feverish, and were congested as well.

I had plans to be at our local BX by 10:00 a.m. anyway. I headed out on a mission to earn a free gift card for being numbered in the first 100 customers and to snatch a very special couple of items for Christmas. Can't say more here because my children all read the blog. Jamin came with me. We added lots of meds to the list and produce, as we are low on most items and not doing another co-op order until Friday.

As Jamin and I waited to buy our items, we were told that one of the items we had had an upgrade - much nicer for the same price.....so home I ran to pick up the one I'd purchased of lesser grade and back in time to snatch the better item for the same price. Great deals.

We bought a host of over the counter meds.

Josiah discovered the light hanger clips I was sold are NOT the ones we need. He headed back to return them and get what we need. I vaguely hope to make it to chapel tonight but with 4 sick younger ones, it may not be nice to do that to the older boys. I had one week at chapel. I will call and make arrangements to pick up the toys tomorrow.

While the boys hang lights, I'm working on a Shop Natural order. I also printed out a cover letter, two transcripts and summary sheets of last year's work for NARHS.

Got a call from the BX. I entered some drawings. It appears I won another $25 gift card to the BX. I was hoping for the Ipod or PS3..... maybe yet. LOL

Hmmm....can't find our projector....we really need that lighted nativity scene now....
