Life after the stomach flu

Ugh. Keira on Friday, Colin on Sunday early morning, Keith on Monday night, me on Tuesday early morning, and Connor - still recuperating. He'd be better if he wasn't a really picky eater and would just eat something. I've missed two days of work the week before classes start, so I came back to 37 emails, 38 new transcript evaluation requests, who knows how many voice mails, and have since developed an eye twitch from the stress.

I need a vacation.

Oh bummer. We just had a similar bug tear through our house over the weekend. Fortunately only 3 out of my four got it and it bypassed hubby and me. The stomach flu is no fun. I hope everyone is on the mend.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it. After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.

Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives. Despite ...

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind. No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field. It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place. As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin: Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places: And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...

Field Trip Fun

I was lucky enough to be a chaperone on Connor's first kindergarten field trip. I got to meet his two best friends. We painted a pumpkin, rode on a hayride, and wandered a corn maze. I was so glad I got to go. He had a great time, as did I. He told me he was glad I came. He also told me: Mommy, you're my best friend.
