An Official Sick Day

For the most part the T family are very healthy. The doctor even pointed out today how long it had been between our sick visits. "You are healthier than most." That is a very true statement. I laugh at friends sometimes that try to live an ultra healthy life style and are sick more times than us. Maybe they are prone to it and are healthier because because of their lifestyle. But according to the latest news reports I should be dead because of my weight. I laugh at that. I am active and healthy. I get sick once every few years and it usually is just a cold. We are bad and we eat french fries, we eat meat, we drink soft drinks, we have sugar cereal, all the bad stuff. We even make cookies sometimes. I don't mean the oatmeal raisin ones made with apple sauce and not butter, I am talking about the fantastic chocolate chip cookies.

I think that because we homeschool and usually hang out with only homeschooled kiddos we pick up less of the illnesses that the children's peers do in traditional school. Swim team times always gets us. We are introduced to some stuff that we would normally avoid.

Bear has strep throat, Sugar has swimmers ear and I have a bad cold that has settled into my chest. Coughing is a real issue. We have all had something the past few weeks. We pass the stuff around and then God willing we come out of it healthy again. Today was the first official day of nothing in a while. It felt good. I only wish we felt better so we could better enjoy the doing nothing. Maybe we will try to take a sick day soon when everyone is healthy.

Sick update: Bear better, Sugar better, mom still coughing, dad has an infection in his mouth and after an emergency dentist visit and antibiotics he is slowly getting better.
