SICK
Hello Friends! Glad we homeschool on a week like this one, and we could cut way back on our expectations. Sunday, Dh and Dd had said they weren't feeling good, and Dd was up half the night with a 102 degree fever. She was not in much of a state to get much done. She ran a really high fever all Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday. The most unfortunate part is that Giz and Grampy were to arrive on Friday---and they didn't need to be exposed to sickie bugs. I finally succumed to sickness on Friday. We didn't get a lot done this week, and will have Giz and Grampy with us for part of next week too---lots of music, cooking, planting type things will happen, but probably not a lot of book-stuff, while they are visiting. Spring is almost here!!
Our updates:
GERD/Heartburn for me---Really bad, all week. I don't know what has changed and why things are getting worse each week. I haven't added anything new to my diet. Of course, getting sick and coughing like crazy isn't helping....

Chickens:
They are all doing great. On Thursday I moved the Brooder House out to the garage, as the "chicken dust" was getting up into the loft area, which is Dd's bedroom. She was convinced the chicken dust is what made her sick and I didn't want to argue. I miss seeing them and hearing them all the time, but what can you do.
Truck:
Dh is still working on it...prayers appreciated.
Band/Choir:
Wednesday morning, to my great surprise, Dd woke up without a fever and wanted to go to band so desperately---so I took her. She ran out of energy during choir. When we got home, she went right up to her bedroom and slept for 4-5 hours! She wiped herself out. At Band, Mrs. March said she could fit Dd in for a private lesson on Thursday, so I said, 'yes,' but found out only later that she had taken a turn back for the worse and wasn't feeling well. We still went to her private lesson on Thursday, but Dd wasn't great.
Private Lesson:
Mrs March gave Dd some piano and sax music to work on this week. They had a great session---51 minutes! What a lot of time and effort she puts in.
Link Co-op:
This was to be our last week, and it was a make-up week for a snow week we had had, but the church had some problem and had to cancel our classes--now our "last week" will be next week. Golly this "10 week" class is taking 13 weeks to do.
On Friday, Dd and I cleaned ALL day, until Giz and Grampy arrived at 2 PM. I woke up totally sick, but needed to clean off all our books and lessons off the kitchen island and dining room table, plus get their bedroom ready, vacuum.....
