the best thing about being sick...

...it makes you thankful to be better and healthy!  I've not had this kind of flu bug in a long time and, boy, do I hope I don't have to endure it again.  I quite honestly don't know how I made it through the last few days, but by the grace of God.  Oh, how I cannot wait for it to be the weekend and to finally get some rest and sleeping-in time.  I love VBX and the message it brings to our kiddos...and shepherding a group of busy 5th graders has had its blessings, but I am plum burned out and just want to focus on enjoying my oldest girl for the next week that we have her at home.  I fear summer is going to go by waaaay too quickly. :(  June and July...please-slow-down, b/c I can't honestly bear for August to be here!
