Update

Ok so i know i don't blog much anymore but i am on almost daily checking to see what other people are blogging. I love hearing about what is going on in other people's homes.

As for us....well we are all getting over a round of flu i think. I started with a sinus infection and then I think Cameron came down with the flu first with me following closely behind. Then Ethan came down with it and last but not least Brad is now 3 days into it and I am hoping he is almost done with it. I hate how little Ethan is because his poor little body just can't handle illness as well as Cameron. So Ethan was very feverish, lethargic, and his eyes got all red and puffy and he just looked so sick. He is still very tired and sleeping a lot but he's felt cool to the touch since yesterday afternoon so I am hoping the fever is done and now we just have to deal with all of us having a residual cough. ( I hate the non productive coughs that just last and last and last!)

Brad is still laid off which has been enjoyable getting to spend so much time together but I am still hoping the union will pick up soon. But life is ok right now. I really need to find a way to de-stress though. I feel like i am constantly stressed to the max and not sure what is causing it. But it is interfering with my happiness, my weight, my headaches, etc. So that is my goal is to take some time each day to focus on de-stressing. I want to get back to enjoying each and every minute I have with the boys and Brad. I want to get back to focusing on my growing relationship with God too. I have really let that slack and it has been bothering me a lot lately. I also want Cameron to continue to learn and grow his relationship too.

Well that is all I have for now. My wrist has been hurting for the past couple days and is hurting more and more as I type so I am going to go rest it.

For those of you who have inquired about my uncle, we do not know cause of death yet. We had a graveside service for him Oct. 5th with close family and friends. It was beautiful. They had a gun salute, a trumpet player played taps, Pastor Tim Wilbur did the service (he's the pastor that married Brad and I and he also did my dad's funeral) and I did okay through all of it until the end when the honor guard unfolded, presented the flag, refolded it and presented it to my Uncle Don and then I lost it. It's like it finalized something in my head and the tears started streaming. But the service was so beautiful and it was so nice to see how many people loved my Uncle Hal that i didn't even know. However, the coroner put on the death certificate that COD was pending meaning there was no clear cut cause for his death and that they had to send off tissue and blood samples for testing to see if they can find the cause of death but it may take 4-6 weeks to hear anything so we are all still waiting. So please pray for a speedy answer on that.

I hope you are all enjoying life and your family and that you are all healthy and flu bug free! Until next time.....TTFN
