Ten for the Week

1. I'm typically at work on a Monday morning however Savannah was sick all weekend long with stomach flu. She is back to her normal self but Frank felt it would be best to keep her home just one more day to make sure she is no longer contagious. She puked on me twice and was running a low grade fever. She missed church yesterday and just spent quality time with mommy. It's no fun having a sick baby at home.

2. I attended a Pampered Chef party on Wednesday night. We purchased a slicer and enjoyed everyone's company there and all the yummy food. We didn't get home until late and I stayed behind to pick up the mess from the kids.

3. On Thursday night Frank had his emergency base shop meeting at his new office. We ordered pizza and Savannah and I got a tour of the new office.

4. Frank's current lease is ending on Jan 31st so he has been busy packing up and will be renting a moving truck tomorrow. We are still waiting to sign a new lease. We are hoping that we can just move in our furniture and than the lease would officially begin on March 1st. As part of the agreement they are doing a buildout to add additional office space. We are going to be getting the first three months free for a 5 year contract. The new office is right off the main tollway and will be in a more central location for everyone to come visit us. We have several people renting office space from us. The business has been booming lately. I'm so proud of Frank and all of his hard work and dedication to the business. It hasn't always been an easy road and continues to be a struggle. We just keep pushing forward and hopefully we will blessed with financial security.

5. Friday night Sarah's boyfriends dad dropped her off at home after his wrestling match. I was fortunate not to have to drive out to her mother's house. It was nice to just come home and get some things done.

6. Saturday morning I woke up and than two hours later Savannah started puking. I thought she was feeling better and ran a few errands with her after her three hour nap in the afternoon. Apparently she was still sick because she threw up the next morning right before church. I was going to keep her home anyways. Frankie gave a talk at church. Our friend Tom Higgins surprised Frank by showing up to church. He is co worker from WFG and sometimes comes to church with us. I'm not sure what his interest level is in the church. He surprised everyone!

7. On Saturday afternoon Frankie managed to jam the value that shuts off the water on the shower. He woke me up out of my sleep to help rescue him. I was worried if I pulled too hard that I would break off the handle. I think I have been watching too many movies...lol! Luckily Frankie's friend Max came over and forced back the handle and shutoff the water. I realized at that moment I better figure out where the shutoff value was on the house in case of an emergency. Last night we had a FHE home improvement addition. We discussed about what to do in case of an emerency and we walked through the house to better educate ourselves. I was surprised that the kids didn't know what to fully do in case of a fire. It was a good reminder for us all and now I know a little bit more myself.

8. Sarah was invited over to Grandma Delores house. Auntie Dawn picked her up and they made a pasta dish, canoli cake and one other type of cake. Frank started a diet and already lost 5 pounds. He re-lapsed this weekend. Apparently the cakes were too much of a temptation for him. Sarah has been wanting to learn how to cook some Italian foods and really enjoyed spending time with her family.

9. We are looking forward to filing our income taxes soon.

10. I'm excited only two more months of yucky winter!!!
