Today was another sick day in our home.  Sarah woke up with a fever of 103+ again.  Plus, she’s complained for two days about her throat.  At first, I was certain it was a viral infection since she had no other symptoms, but with the sore throat, I called the doc and scheduled an appointment for her.  Well, the strep test was negative and so was the flu culture.  YAY!!  Looks like I was right...it was only a virus.  What's more, since this afternoon, her fever has packed up and left…just as quickly as it arrived, it’s gone.
 
Rachel has 6 games this week.  Yes, 6!  Plus, cheer practice and an areawide devo on Sunday.  This will indeed be a busy week.  I hope everyone is healthy and up to it.  I enjoy going to the games, but it’s really hard with Camille – especially when there are two games back to back, as is the case 3 times this week.  We missed the games tonight, but we’ll go on Thursday and Saturday for sure.
 
Today, since Sarah was sick, we read a lot.  We started a new book by Gary Paulsen titled “Hatchet”.  It seems very good so far, after the first 3 chapters.  Also, we read through the Declaration of Independence.  This is so sad, but I don’t think I ever read the document until today.  Surely, I must be wrong…HOW DID I MISS THAT??  How could I have graduated from high school (with honors, I might add) and have never read the Declaration of Independence?  That is so beyond me, and even embarassing.  I’m learning of many things I missed in my school years.  I hope my children are enjoying and will remember the things we’re studying.  I guess only time will tell.
