On the road to recovery...

Today and yesterday I spent the day in bed due to a horrible virus of some sort.  Yuck!  Fever and vomiting are my two least favorite illnesses.  If I have to be sick...those two are on the bottom of my list!  I am still a little woozy but that could be due to the long lasting effects of the Phenergan I took last night.  I don't do well with strong medication...it tends to knock me on my behind a little harder than most people. 

Jackson had his first baseball game of the fall season tonight.  They won!  Yeah!  Jadon and Ivy are practicing twice a week for cheerleading and they are both doing very well.  Avery just started ballet and jazz this week and is LOVING it!  She also wants to start theater...we will see if we can swing that financially first.  She has been the least active child in the family as far as extra curricular activities.

We are so excited that we found our "green camera."  It had been missing since June and we thought for sure it was a goner!  Jack found it in his truck box!  I'm so glad. 

Well signing off for now...not feeling too great.  Got a tummy ache and think my fever is going up. :(  Sleep well all!

Ivy Bug... sick today.


Ivy has been sick all day.  I came home from work early to take care of her.  She's had fever, vomiting and diarrhea.  Temp right now is 103.  She just fell asleep.  Poor baby!

Only the Moody's!!!...

Many people have said "Only the Moody's!" when I tell of some of the experiences we've had.  Maybe this stuff does happen to other people and they just don't say anything but ask some of our closest friends and that is what you will hear..."only a Moody can say that!"

Jack and the kids set the tents up in the backyard last night.  Before dark we decided to go out to dinner and get me a Starbucks (most of you know I'm addicted to Starbucks coffee).  I had a headache and it seemed a reasonable enough reason to get coffee (as opposed to taking Tylenol :) he he).  We ate dinner and were headed home when Jack spotted a truck driving reckless ahead of us.  The truck was driving aggressively and following another car turning onto one of our neighborhood streets.  The guy eventually ran off the road and flipped on it's side on a street right near our house!  Of course we stopped to help, called 9-1-1 and waited for PD and FD to arrive.  While waiting he was throwing his case of beer in the woods and looking for gum to try and hide the smell of alcohol which he wreaked of!  Fortunately nobody was hurt badly.  The guy driving went to jail, just a kid.  He had a young lady passenger...she was scratched up a little but was o.k.  

Our kids got to watch him be handcuffed and  put in the back of the police car.  We talked to them about what happened and talked to them about making bad choices.  I remember making many bad choices as a teenager.  Fortunately none of them landed me in jail or caused physical harm to someone else.  My prayer is that they remember this experience, while it's not the worse thing that could have happened, as one to remember when they are old enough to make the same choices.  His mug shot was available within hours of his arrest.  How embarrassing for everyone to be able to see your mistakes posted on the internet.  One day all of us will be accountable for our own actions won't we?  I'm wondering if I should post my own picture right next to his and list out all of my sin...  Hmmm...makes you think doesn't it?  What a night!

After that my mind was reeling...and the Starbucks probably didn't help.  I had to get up at 445am today and go to work.  I think I fell asleep around 1am!

Only the Moody's!

So I'm looking at keeping up our family blog.  This is one of my favorite pictures of Jadon...This was at Disney last New Year's.  I'm hoping this is the beginning of something great that all of our long distance family and friends can follow and see our family grow!
