You know the most helpless feeling as a parent? When your kids are sick or hurting and there is nothing you can do about it. Haleigh came home sick from school yesterday with Mark, so today is my turn to stay with her. She is running a fever, she has a really bad headache, and she is throwing up. When we were in the bathroom a while ago she said (in a teary voice) "I don't like throwing up mama". She said it to me like she wanted me to fix it - but I can't. That is an awful feeling. I cannot take it away from her. Hopefully she will start to feel better really soon.
On a side note...about 6 weeks ago or so we decided to cut back our tv programming to the "basics" in an effort to watch less television. It has really helped me and Mark to spend more time with the kids instead of watching endless hours of reality tv (me) and fishing shows (Mark). However, in our cut back, we lost ESPN. It was really okay until yesterday. The Broncos were playing the Raiders (I hate them) last night on Monday Night Football (on ESPN). Well, needless to say, I didn't get to see the Broncos victory over the Raiders. At least the Broncos are off to a good start just as the Cowboys are. I am so glad the NFL has made a return!

Lyndi and Lauryn both came home from school this morning with head aches, sore throats and ear aches. Sometimes I wish we could be sick for them. I hope the rest of your family stays well.
yuck! brian has it too!! tell haleigh if it helps brian was upset about it too. i had to make chicken noodle soup!!
No ESPN? Oh my.
That's such a helpless feeling when the kids are sick, and all you can do is hold them and get prescriptions filled. I say helpless, but those are probably the moments we pray the most, so we're not helpless at all. Anyway, I know just what you mean, and I agree. And about the t.v., we've just got the basic, really less since we can't get much this far out, and after a while you don't realize there's anything to miss. Y'all take care!
