So today I woke up and realized that I am really sick. It obviously is a viral thing and you know how that can't be treated with antibiotics. So now it's just a waiting game. Since I am sick and most likely contagious I decided that I'm going to keep the kids home today. It's been interesting because I have been spending a lot of time today with "N" so we can improve his writing. He can write his letters pretty good and also his numbers. Last night we started doing basic addition and subtraction. I also had him write his colors after I showed him how to write them himself. He's so good and eager to learn.

We are trying to sell a bunch of stuff that we either no longer need or just really don't feel like moving when move to Chicago. It's difficult trying to sell some of this stuff but at least we're listing the stuff now and trying to get what we want out of it instead of struggling a month before trying to get rid of it and not getting what we feel we deserve. In doing so, it was difficult because I brought home seven boxes of baby toys and having to go through it knowing that we probably aren't going to have anymore was hard. Plus also realizing how much cat fur was on everything. OMG that is bad.

So right now the kids are napping and I'm debating on doing the same thing. I'm just so worn out with all of the needles and blood testing to see if I have the gene that causes colon cancer. Not a whole lot of fun. I'm trying to talk my dad into taking the kids for a week or two just so I can have some time with "The Hubby" and trying to deal with the results I'll be getting in a few weeks. Right now I really try not to think about it and I've been told that because of what's going on and since I won't be getting the results for a while that it's not such a bad thing until March 4th.

So I have been increasing my fiber intake and water consumption too. I have been trying to do better with the kids and increasing their fiber as well. I eat Activa yogurt with All Bran bran pellets and a teaspoon of Fibersure. Last night "The Hubby" made US Senate Bean Soup and have eaten that a few times the past couple of days with the Fibersure. Just remember that you are supposed to consume a total of 25-30 grams a day of fiber and you can always add the Fibersure into water, soups or any thing that is a liquid up to three times a day.

Ok, so please don't forget about my giveaway, it ends February 25, 2008.
