My son (8) is a great help - he commented one day, while we were transporting food & water to a scene "this is really important what we do - isn't it mom?" HE gets it, but some of the adults don't!

Steve took me into the ER on Sunday morning and I am still not out of the sick woods yet.

I was having an asthma attack, but by the time they got me inprocessed and the Dr got to me the asthma attack had calmed down and all he could find was sinus infection, laryngitis, and headed into bronchitis.

Yesterday I was upright for about 14 hours, the most I've been out of bed in about a week. LOL

Hope the rest of your week and weekend are perfect for you.

Be Safe.
