It's great for you to keep a positive attitude under the circumstances! One day at a time is so true...
Hope you get rid of the "bugs" around the house soon. I know they all feel so bad and that makes a mamma feel much worse for them.
You are all in my prayers!

Hey Tammy, I love fall but i hate the colds and flu associated with it. It's hard when kids get sick, but your doing what you have to. Your a great mom and friend! I'm wishing you and your family good health. One thing that can get through hard times is togetherness with the kiddos, it's nothing like doing something together, even if it's to bake delicious cookies, or a yummy meal. I've learned growing up that it wasn't the material things that i had or wanted that made good memories, it's all the times that i had with my parents. Take care! (((((((hugs)))))))
