Long week

So I guess the first 2 weeks without Travis sped by and it was time for a hard one this last week. On Wednesday, Kaden had a tummy ache. My friend's husband was out of town for a few days and the air conditioning in their house is not working, so they were coming to spend the day with us, possibly longer if it didn't get fixed. Kaden threw up. I called Nikki and told her she was totally still welcome, but that he had thrown up. She came anyway, and he was great the rest of the day. Then they ended up staying the night. Thursday Ammon had a tummy ache. He threw up 4 times throughout the day. They stayed again that night. Friday I didn't feel well at all and her little 10 mth old daughter was throwing up and mid day Nikki started throwing up. Then in the evening it was Noah, and just after being put to bed, her 2 year old Paul. Let me tell you, it's been great fun. Nikki's husband, Ryan got back Friday night and they stayed here that night and Saturday night. We love to have visitors and distractions, yet it's nice to have a more peaceful house now when you feel awful, and not worry so much about taking care of everyone. That sounds bad. On top of it all, the camera broke that I got for Mother's Day. At least it's having issues and it's very sad.

On a happy note we all went to church today, because it had been a good 36 hours since any active sickness. In sacrament meeting Noah wrote a couple of notes to me. He's becoming a regular poet I would say. On Thursday night, Nikki and I watched a movie while she dyed my hair. Anyone who hadn't seen me for awhile would say it no different because it's the way it used to be, but it's been getting so dark and dirty looking. Anyway, it's my first true hair dying experience, and my kids didn't notice until yesterday as they were brushing my hair....Kaden suddenly said "Hey we are brushing it so much it's getting lighter!" And Noah "Yeah, your right, kind of more golden, let's check underneath, yep it's getting lighter" Anyway, that explains part of his note...
Isn't that funny? I thought so, anyway.

I also got called into the Primary Presidency today. I don't really know anything about the primary and feel pretty inadequate to be as much help as I want to be, especially with crazy psycho Micah boy in tow. I know I will learn so much and be a better person and mom for it and I am excited, but as I sat in there today and hardly even knew any of the kids names, and looked through the binder, I realized there will have to be a huge baptism by fire learning curve.
