Children...

I happen to love children. I don't know what I would do if there were no children around me but I can say this, I do despise children's germs. Apparently the drooling, the sneezing, the coughing the sharing would catch up to me sooner than later.

This past Friday I went up to my house and was just thrilled to be home. However, Saturday, during the cookout I didn't feel all that great. By Saturday night I had a fever. I stayed home yesterday morning from church, then started back to my grandmother's Sunday afternoon. After six hours of traffic, not getting lost once, we finally arrived home around nine!

I woke up this morning with a phone call. It was my dad. My brother Stephen called him this morning on the way to the hospital. My sister in law Liz's water broke! I guess the baby doesn't want to wait for my birthday after all! I haven't heard anything after all this time, but just maybe, I may have a niece before the night is over.

Of course I can't see her because I am sick. I didn't go to work today because, yes, I had a fever this morning. I am feeling much better tonight after sleeping all day!! The cook out went well. It wasn't overly huge but it turned out okay. Friends of the family that we don't see often surprised us by coming. It was great seeing their kids again. They have gotten so big!!

I will be sure to keep you all updated on my niece!!! Please keep my sister in law and brother in prayer!!
