One of the boys has come down with a fever. He’s been sick on and off for over a month, beginning with a fever which went away but then became this lingering sinus congestion that I thought maybe was allergies. Kids experience illness enough times in their childhoods that you become less concerned with the colds and the sniffles.

But the fevers do still get my attention. The other stuff does too, but I think too you reach an almost subconscious point where you’re not going to add anything else to life’s load unless that thing turns out to be a necessity, like going in to a doctor. Because medications can be such an avenue for relief you will not hear me demonize them.

That’s not the same thing as thinking there aren’t issues with drug companies. I used to be completely fascinated with drugs. I wanted to know how each one worked, it’s chemical makeup, and all of the potential side effects and interactions. In school they paint it like you should actually know significant details about the drugs you are giving.

I don’t know, what else. It was a pretty decent Sunday as far as Sundays go. Josh did not have to preach anywhere so that was nice. Not too long ago he told me he’d messed up and accidently over-scheduled himself for almost every Sunday from right before Thanksgiving until the end of Christmas. I cried but then realized I had to have grace.

This morning he said he was going back to a monthly layout in his planner where he can see the whole month instead of just being able to see a week at a time. We went to church and took two cars because they hold their confirmation class after Bible on Sundays. He tried to get out of it and asked about teaching it at home but was told no.

I mean it wasn’t rude or anything it was just one of those things where the pastor preferred to have our son go through the class. So he and Dad did that and I took the other kids home after stopping by the store for lunch food and a few other meals. Everyone was more tired today and we noticed the difference in daylight by evening.
