I guess it doesn't matter if you say it aloud or write it out loud, and the knocking on wood thing didn't work either! Keira came down with a cold the first weekend in March, missed a whole week of school, plus yesterday, and now is back in school today! She was so excited she hugged/held her pink giraffe print backpack all the way to Decorah! Ha!
So last week was pretty much a bust! Daren and I also got bad colds... I'm not sure how Nick managed his way out of it, but I'm glad he did! He hates missing school! In fact, he was bummed school was canceled last Wednesday(snow), Ash Wednesday, because he was excited to get ashes on his head! Well, he didn't miss out since he made it to church Wed night with Rhonda and kids, and they also distributed ashes at school on Thursday!
They said on the radio today, the #1 thing people "give up" for Lent is their "egos"...I'm calling BS- I think thats just a cheap way of having to really give something up! People should always try to be nice to others- as for me, I'm giving up Sugar (exepet for the little bit that is in my coffee creamer!) Take Care!
