Daddy must be proud of himself

Today Joe left early in the morning to catch a flight to Tucson. When Janika got up she asked where daddy was, and so I told her that he was in Tucson to which she replied "Daddy fly to Tucson on an airplane?". Fast forward a few hours and we're heading out to run some errands. As we're in the driveway Janika again comments that Daddy's in Tucson and he flew there on an airplane, to which I agree with her. She thought about it for a minute or two then said "Probably daddy drive to Tucson." "No, daddy flew." "Where daddy's Jeep?" So I explained to her how rather than us getting up early and driving daddy to the airport, he drove his jeep, parked it, then got on an airplane and flew. Fast forward a few more hours when we're getting home from all our running around - Janika asked if daddy was home yet... no his Jeep's not back yet... and then she says "Daddy drive himself to airport, Daddy learn how!"

So Joe's out of town again...

And I immediately get sick... Yuck!!! I guess that's part of the joy of having kids - you never know when the next cold is going to come through the family. However, I have no idea where this one came from, or even if the kids have had it yet! I know that sounds funny to not know if your kids have been sick recently but here's the story: About a week ago Keldon had a slight fever, and just wasn't feeling well. This went along with lots of drooling and a new tooth cutting through, so I figured it was just teething... Two days later Janika has a fever and just wasn't feeling well. This went along with funny looking red spots all over her arms and legs. I took her into her doctor who said it was bug bites even though they were not itching at all. Okay, whatever, at least it's not something like chicken pox!... So here we are a few days later and I'm having dizzy spells, I'm stuffed up, slight fever... and no way of knowing if the kids have already had this or not!!!
