I'm sick. I do not make a good sick person. I try to keep doing everything I normally do but my body won't cooperate. I went to work yesterday anyway. I'm not sure about today. I'm trying to balance my sense of responsibility for work with my sense of responsibility for not getting anyone else sick. When I got off work yesterday, I came home, crawled into bed and didn't get back out until 6am this morning. To tell the truth, I'd still like to be there.

Steve had a baseball meeting last night so I sent a couple of kids to church and then bribed Brittney $5 to keep an eye on Sophia. That really only left one or two kids. The downfall is that the rooms that Steve and I cleaned on Monday are now completely trashed again.

Brittney has an appointment with an orthopedic specialist this morning. Her athletic trainer is concerned about the injury to her ankle/foot from this past cheer season. The original injury happened a few months ago when she was doing gymnastics tumbling at the gym downtown. When it initially happened, Steve took her to the emergency room for x-rays. She ended up in a boot and using crutches. The trainer and Brittney are concerned that there is still something wrong.

I'm taking Anthony to Sioux Falls for his therapy appointment this afternoon at 3pm. That was supposed to be easy today. I'm ususally out of work by 1:45pm, which would give me just enough time to pick up Anthony from school and leave town by 2pm, putting us in Sioux Falls by 3pm. Then Zeke caused a bit of a glitch. Which is a whole different story. But the end result is that I was planning on him being able to go to the Boys & Girls Club after school today because I'll be leaving town before school gets out and won't be back until 4pm.

But Zeke has been kicked out of The Club. So now I have to try to pick him up early from school too so I can take him to Sioux Falls with us. The first problem is that he's at a different school than Anthony so it will cause a major time crunch to try to get them both picked up and still be on time. Then there's the fact that I just plain don't feel good and it was already going to be a struggle to do the Sioux Falls thing today and now I have to take TWO of my most challenging kids. Added to that, I'm incredibly frustrated with Zeke right now and don't particularly want to keep him occupied during the hour at the therapist's office.

Oh, and Riley has basketball tonight and Brittney and I have a meeting for our missions trip. Yes, I just remembered I haven't really posted anything about that yet either. Maybe I should just suck it up and stay home today so I don't get anyone else sick. Then I can post about our trip and about Zeke.
