Here's the high(?)lights:
--My mom, who came up from Florida to take care of my kids while I went to Vegas with my hubby, ended up in the hospital with a nasty case of pneumonia.
--Some of my offspring, who will remain nameless, took advantage of the situation of being left with my stepfather during this time.
--Some of the aforementioned offspring have having truth-telling issues with mom and dad this week.
--Mom and dad managed to pass the crud to my two oldest children who are hacking and sniffling.
--The baby has pinkeye in both eyes, an ear infection, and rampant diarrhea.
--I'm (go figure) having a very hard time pulling together the stuff I need for my "Camp Crop-a-Lot" event that I'm supposed to be at in less than 24 hours.
All this to say, my theme for this week's Thursday Thirteen will be:
Philippians 4:8 (New International Version)
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy,think about such things.
Bless it all, I'm going to count my blessings if it kills me (and it just might, LOL!)

2. During said morning, I got to work out, a rare treat these days. 3. I also got a facial, manicure, and pedicure. 'Nuff said. 4. We got last minute tickets to Cirque du Solei's Ka. It was incredible. 5. My Valentine gift, tickets to see Rita Rudner, ended up being in the front row. 6. My husband laughed so hard during the show that he snorted. 7. I laughed so hard that my sides hurt! 8. I widened my horizons by taking the Vegas monorail and exploring the Strip (and the incredible shopping) by myself. This is not like me, and was lot of fun. 9. My church family was so there for me when mom went into the hospital. By the time I got home, both my pastor and elder had visited, and my friend Kim had taken custody of the baby so that Mom's husband could go and sit with her. 10. A certain child's teacher did not let said child get away with the twaddle they tried to pass off as an English assignment during the chaos between grandma going to the hospital and mom and dad flying home. She also graciously let them redo the assignment instead of giving them the failing grade they probably deserved. (Pat on the back to self for not identifying the guilty party, LOL). 11. The baby was officially "graduated" from gastric specialty services at Children's Hospital and, while still on supplements, is off of his proton-pump inhibitors! 12. I found out that my sisters were working very hard to try and fly out to see me on my birthday. It didn't work out, but I felt very loved and cared about all the same. 13. My sweet husband is insisting that I still go on my crop this weekend...prepared or not. Considering that he'll be left to deal with less than healthy children AND have to cover my nursery duty at church, is there any wonder why I think he's the most amazing man on the planet?
