1 gets sick, They ALL get sick !!!!

I guess I could have added this as part of my "Life in a Snowball" post.
The BUG is going around my house like crazy. Last week this was my kids school schedule.
SATURDAY: 3rd grader starts running a fever and lasts until Monday so ..
MONDAY: no School. 1st and 7Th grader go to school. 7Th Grader already at this point has a cough started.
TUESDAY: 3rd grader no fever goes to school with 1st grader. 7Th grader stays home sick from coughing.
WEDNESDAY: 1st and 3rd grader go to school, no fever, no cough. 7Th grader still No School. Later that evening 1st grader gets in shower and says his stomach hurts. Gets out of shower and vomits all over my toilet (at least he tried). Spends the night vomiting.
THURSDAY: No School for 1st and 7Th Grader. 3rd grader makes it to school.
FRIDAY: Decide to keep 1st and 7Th home again to give them the extra resting period.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: All are doing well hence Mr Snowman was created.
SUNDAY NIGHT: around midnight 3rd grader gets up passes out in the bathroom, comes to and then the vomiting starts. Passed out again around 2:00 am goes face/belly down to the hardwood floor in the bathroom, comes to and vomits. Wife and her goes to sleep in our bed and 20 minutes later she passes out again sitting on the bed, comes to and vomits.
SOOO here I am stressed out because My medical insurance does not kick in until May 1st. I call the local Emergency Room and plead my case they tell me to come in.
We finally come home around 5:15 am with a 3rd grader that has the stomach flu and is suffering from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasovagal_syncope.
Wife and 3rd grader return to my bedroom and I camp out on living room floor and a quiet corner. I am asleep for 45ish minutes when I hear my wife yell "OH MY GOD, JOHNNY" I leap and run to the bedroom where 3rd graders is on her back between the bed and dresser after passing out and hitting her head on the dresser on the way down. When she comes to she informs us she was going to the bathroom and only made it about 3 ft from the bed..
MONDAY: 3rd grader home sick, 1st and 7Th grader went to school.
All during my kids sicknesses My wife and I have been fighting a cough (we both had flu shots and hope we are safe from anything worse) My brother in law who came up here with us has been through the cough/fever and vomiting as well. The ONLY one who has not gotten sick "YET" is my Mother in Law.

So thats been my last week give or take a day ... BUT I AM STILL HAPPY that I moved here and WILL NOT go back to Florida.. LOL

My life in a snowball...

Well, I figured since I took a leave of absence from the blog, I was due for a post. So, Here goes .....

I have finally started working again. I started on Monday February 25Th. I was so ready to go back to work after NOT working since the 30Th of January. I was watching the funds dwindle down and boredom take over. I have slept, ate and crapped more in the last month than I have in the last year.. LOL I was more than ready to start back at work. Everyone at the Sheriff's Office I am working for is more than polite. I have never worked somewhere with people as polite and friendly as up here in Wisconsin. Hell EVERYONE in the town we live in is like that.

OK, It is now 2:30 on Sunday. I am picking up after a 24 hour break.. I had to stop this post yesterday to go rescue my Mother In Law from work. She was stuck in the parking lot because she couldn't steer her Durango. I drove it home with quit a bit of effort because the power steering pump went out on it.. SO its now parked in the garage until I can get it fixed.. WONDERFUL...

Anyways. Work is going well, We have all settled in and transitioned into the new lifestyle up here. The kids are all doing well in school. Well let me rephrase that. My 13 year old still thinks her life is over as she knows it and it will never be the same as it was in Florida. She has made a couple of friends in school but lives on the phone with her best friend in Florida. Thanks God I have unlimited long distance with my home phone. And to add to the fact that we ruined her life , We changed cell phone companies and were only approved for 3 lines instead of the 4 lines we wanted. So this caused he not to get a cell phone and ended her Texting Lifestyle.. LOL
But life goes on and she is dealing with it...
My son who is in first grade is not doing as well in reading and they requested a conference with us to talk about maybe holding him back next year. We are going to enroll him into summer school to help with his reading so hopefully that will help him move into 2ND easier.
My third grader, Lets just say she has adjusted without any problems..
All the kids love the snow and want to get out and play in it every chance they get. They even built a snowman today. I will post the pics at the end of my posting ..

My wife has decided to just get a part time job in the mornings when the kids are in school so she can be home when they get out of school. She is going to get her RN degree but there is a 3 year waiting list at the Tech school here. So over the next 3 years she is going to start taking a class here and there to get some out of the way.

We had a snowfall again on Friday and got another 4-5 inches of snow. Today we were supposed to get freezing rain up until noon and that never happened. Tonight is supposed to lead to more snow showers, so we will see.

I also am going to take this moment and say hello to everyone that has been stopping in to read my blog. Thanks for all the wonderful comments.
To all the Blog-Hoppers out there, thanks for stopping by and visiting, I am glad to be your "JOHNNY ON THE SPOT" I hope you cleaned up after yourself when you were done.. I need to get a list of everyone thats a Blog-Hopper, so if you have a list of them all let me know so I can add them all to my homepage..

I will end this with a God Bless you all , be safe, healthy and enjoy life. To Christy , My Florida Friend, I miss ya lots and Mean it... when you coming to visit???

Here are a few pics....


Here is Mr Snowman that the kids built today.
