"Livin on a Prayer"!! If I said this before, I'll say it again... it will be a miracle if no one else in this house gets the flu!! Jeff didn't get out of bed much today and when he did, he traced his steps (and hand prints) with Lysol! But, I can't keep the kids from sharing cups, kleenex, Gatorade bottles, etc. with each other. Their germs are very well mingled after today! We did take a field trip to CVS (and I don't recommend trying to "CVS" with 3 kids), ate lunch at Tips, picked Jeff up some egg drop soup and rice from next door to Tips and this afternoon we took a trip up to the park and played outside til dinner! It has been one of those days juggling 3 kids! A minute ago Jeff asked me what I had for dinner and after a few minutes, I remembered I had about 3 spoonfuls of leftover Kraft shells and cheese! I'm about to shower and tonight I'm shacking in B's bed. He's in a pallet on his floor! My plan is to take everyone to school in the morning, assuming they are all well. Then my plan is to go to bible study (and pray for this house!), pick the kids up and then head to Enterprise and come back Sat. afternoon so I can teach 3 yr old Sun. school Sunday! My only fear is that I'll get to Enterprise, come down w/ the flu and not be able to get back home!?

This is not fun folks! Someone told me yesterday that this IS an EPIDEMIC!! I see it on Facebook every day and 2 of B's friends are home w/ it too! I'm just waiting on pins & needles for myself or one of the kids to lodge that first complaint of not feeling well!!

With all this being said, I will be getting "work" done as best I can until all this passes! I hope everyone has a fun (and healthy) Labor Day weekend!! War Eagle!!

The Big Bad FLU!!
Well, I knew it was a matter of time before ONE OF US got the flu! Luckily (if I can say that?) it is not one of the kids. Jeff started having the symptoms Tues night and went to the Dr. yesterday. He started Tamiflu yest. but it still laid up in the bed ~ he's got it pretty bad!! I've been trying to keep the kids away and slept w/ the boys last night in G's room (which was interesting and lovely!!). Just praying it doesn't make the rounds!! Mallory has had a little cough this week and I didn't send her to school yesterday, but no fever and appears to be a tiny cold. She & G were to start school yesterday but I only sent G. HOPEFULLY they will all go tomorrow! Needless to say I am behind on work! I have one more AC design to sample, tons of monogramming to do and I finally got my consignment clothes ready last night to turn in today for the Children's Clothing Exchange! Anyway.... doin the best I can and trying not to go crazy!! :)

2 New Fabrics
The kids & I went to Hobby Lobby today to kill some time and I picked up these 2 fabrics. I thought the spider web might be cute in the "boo" applique as one of the letters. Underneath it is a deep red polka dot which had Roll Tide written all over it! I thought it would make a cute megaphone! I love Hobby Lobby and they do have some cute fabric (most of which I already have), but I wish they would get more new stuff in more regularly! I need to make a trip to a decent fabric store soon!!
The armyworms are STILL here!! Jeff is getting more spray today to hopefully get rid of them! Some of them died but there are still some meandering around the grass and driveway! I'm beginning to wonder about this house...

The Tutu backpack is sold! That leaves the Princess, Airplane and Train! Please e-mail me if you're interested!

And... I pray the Labor Day sale is going smoothly! I got confused last night as to whether or not everyone could see the sale who visited the website. I sort of wanted to do a blog/yahoo group exclusive sale since it is our first, and I think I figured it out! If you go to the site through the link http://www.appliquecafe.com?code=labor2009, the sale prices will show. If you happen to go to the site the next day and just enter the web address, the prices may not show and in that case, you'd enter the code: labor2009 where it says "voucher" I think in your shopping cart! Hopefully it is all set up correctly! No e-mails yet and we have sold some designs at 25% off and it all went smoothly! We are still learning!!
