Today the kids did not have school due to the ice storm that hit this weekend. The neighborhoods are still really frozen. I could not get out of my driveway if I tried. Bryan barely got back up today after work because even the part that he dug out yesterday was slick. The children have had 5 days off so far and they also have tomorrow off due to the ice not melting. I’m not going nuts yet only because Bryan was home to help up until today. I think I can manage one more day. It’s the kids I’m getting worried about. It’s tough being stuck indoors, even in the winter.

I have several friends who are not of my faith so I thought I would post a link about Priesthood Blessings. I really didn’t know how to explain it. Here it is…. http://www.mormon.org/learn/0,8672,1578-1,00.html Hope that helps.

Friday we started getting an ice storm so I just kept the kids home from school. It was a fun day because Bryan only had to work a couple hours in the morning and then he was home right as the storm was starting. Friday night I started feeling like I was coming down with something because I was just so tired. Then it began…… MASTITIS!!! My fever started right as I was going to bed and it just continued to go up and up. I tried everything to keep it down. By the next morning my fever was up to 103.7 and I was having crazy chills. It was soooooo horrible!! I have only experienced it this bad once before and I never wanted to go through it again. We immediately called my doc and he called in an antibiotic. My fever broke for the first time later on Saturday and then got bad again Saturday night. It is finally under control and it is Monday. I still have mastitis and only time will tell if the antibiotic will work. If it doesn’t my doc said he might need to surgically remove it. Let’s hope that doesn’t have to happen!! Anyway, I am feeling a lot better today and have been out of bed for most of it. Yesterday I spent the entire day in bed and took at least 2 naps. I really have a new appreciation for all the pioneers. When they went through what I have this weekend they would have died. I’m grateful for modern medicine. Even taking a simple little Tylenol is a blessing which they did not have access to.

That is where I have been for awhile. Hopefully I’ll be better able to keep my blog updated.

I just want to take a minute and say how grateful I am for answered prayers. Every prayer we have never goes unanswered. Some take a really long time to realize what the answer is but they always are answered.
A while ago, due to my pride, I lost a couple of really good friends. I said a prayer almost every day that those relationships could be whole again. I am so happy to say that they are and I know they were in answer to what I had been asking.
