So here we are, all of us in our family seem to be sniffling, coughing or hoarse voiced. I am just wondering is we are all suffering from swine flu or what. I think it is just a cold that is running its coarse because I have felt worse. Is all the hysteria surrounding this just mass hysteria for not?
Countless literature from school, places of activities tell you to keep you kids at home but what if you are fine except for a sniffle?

Running for the Cure
I am really happy to report that since I have decided to tell some folks in the running community that I am doing the Run for the Cure, they have generously donated.
The last few years we have not done anything due to Gary's marathons and it is a really important one.
When I first learned about breast cancer I really wasn't aware of it. Once you have dealt with experiences of having someone finding out, fighting and ultimately losing it changes you. Every year I remember those who lost the fight. Sue Helps was a very intelligent and sassy lady. Slowly though as things got worse with her health, we wanted to do something to help. Gary and I decided to take her kids to Boo at the Zoo. She was appeciative as it wasn't something that she physically had enough energy to do at that point. She said something to me that sticks out in my mind even to this day. She said "she was glad we were taking them out and felt bad that they had such a sick mom". I told her we were quite happy to do it for them.
So hear I am in full kids activities and life just trying to take some time every few days to get on a treadmill and run.
I will think of those people again on October 4th and hopefully the small part will make a difference for someone else.

School has started
Well folks, school has started again and with it comes the various viruses that children transmit. We spent most of the night awake with our little one who threw up a couple of times. Rough night. Even when she finally did snooze the damage was done to both of us.
I have not been feeling great lately with a sore throat and today I feel even worse.
I realize that this comes with having children around other children but I hope we can get through this fairly quickly.
Just spending some "me" time with my little one as I did not bother taking her to nursery school after the night she had. Hopefully she is well enough for dance class tonite as she really has been looking forward to it. I remember how much my big girl enjoyed it when I first took her. She said "Thanks mommy for taking me to dance!" all by herself.
She is doing great at school and we are trying to get her to do more things on her own. Getting her shoes on and clothes . She is getting used to the school routine and I believe she is slowly learning French- not pressing her for info though. I wait for her to tell me or ask her "How was school today?" as she normally tells me bits and pieces through the rest of the day.
