This past week has been pretty good. I got some sort of flu of sorts, who knows. I had a cold, but then Tuesday morning, I just felt extra crummy and had a weird stomach ache, headache, and just felt unwell. I hurried and wrote a sub plan and bailed from work. It also happened to be on the day that our garage door needed to be fixed, so it was convenient in that I was home for the repairman to come and fix it. $600 later. Don't you just love out-of-the-blue expenses? Apparently, you need to grease your garage door springs every 6 months, so John has put that reminder in his phone. Corbin had the flu a week ago, and Gabby was also sick. Ryan missed school on Friday but seems to be alright now. It's going around for sure. I still didn't feel great on Wednesday or Thursday, but I didn't feel like I could skip school again. I feel back to normal now. 

I got my formal evaluation over with last week. I love checking those things off my list. My VP is super laid back, so it's not stressful at all, which is nice! 

Corbin has earned 28 college credits throughout his high school career. Mostly math and science classes. Good work Corbs! Gabby is already taking several college courses, so I'll be curious how many she has earned by the time she graduates. Piper's meds aren't working as well, which is annoying. She's still doing well in school, though. Gem Prep has been a very good switch for her. Ryan is doing great. He's such a cute, funny boy. I don't want him to grow up. Stay my baby forever, Ryan!

I felt like celebrating Valentine's Day with my kids this week since I won't see them next week. I made a special breakfast and got some very expensive chocolates. Never again. LOL. I have a friend who owns a local candy store, so I thought I would support her. Holy smokes, they were expensive. Oh well. For breakfast, we had crepes with fruit, fried red potatoes, eggs, and bacon. I made Ryan a slice of French toast with my homemade artisan bread because he loves French toast. It was a feast. Making yummy food is definitely how I show my family love. haha. 

Hutch and Charly love me so much. They follow me around waiting for me to sit down so they can cuddle next to me. It's pretty cute! 

My sick buddies.

Piper was so excited to get this Stranger Things 1000-piece puzzle. She knocked it out of the park!

Ryan built a fort randomly last night. 

Breakfast feast.

Because she's cute.
