OH, Lord, give me strength

I not only have my 4 littles today, but I have all 3 of my schoolagers today. All 3 of my grandkids were "sick" this morning and have made miraculous recoveries.

The 2 olders boys, 7 & 8, are literally bouncing off the walls. That's making all 4 of the littles bounce. Each of my grandsons are fairly calm on their own, but put the two together and I'm ready to run for the hills within 30 mins.

If that wasn't enough, I agreed for my 2 1/2 yo to receive speech therapy here on Monday mornings. Today is the first day. I'm not sure how that is going to work out as I've never agreed to it before.

This is going to be a very long day. I don't think there is enough iced tea in this area to get me through the day.

When my school age kids stayed home they had to stay in their rooms. This put an end to the "sick " time. Tough when its the grandchildren but sometimes they have to learn.To sick for school to sick to play .

That's my rule. No school, no play. My kids suddenly recovered from their illness when they knew what the day at home would be like.
