Sunday

Well, yesterday I woke up with the boys cold:(  Talk about hating life.  I think summer colds are the worst.  DJ started on Monday with the coughing, and though I told him to cover his mouth there was a couple times he coughed all over my food.  I knew it was coming so I figured there wasn't much I could do at this point but wait.  I was hoping that it wouldn't hit until next week, but nope, I woke up Saturday and felt like doggy dodo.  

Yesterday was Sheldon's birthday.  He and DJ decided to head down to Mt Vernon and check out the place.  Sheldon has been wanting to go there for awhile now so when better but his birthday.  I guess DJ had a blast.  They were chosen to help lay a wreath in George Washington's tomb.  DJ wanted a picture, so when they got one and he made sure that he had his finger touching the tomb so there would be no mistake that he was actually inside!  I guess the tomb is closed off to the public, and only a couple people get to go in every day.  So DJ thought he was pretty special to be able to do that. He was even excited to go though the house there and walked all over the farm.  This was a fun time for him because he's never done anything really just one on one with Sheldon before, so this was a good day for them both.  Another thing that was fun for him is that he's been reading about George Washington in his history lessons this past week and then he was able to see where he lived.  How much fun is that.  To see where they planned some of the battle's during the Revolutionary War and hear facts about that time.  What a great way to follow up on a history lesson.

I stayed home from church today.  I don't have the energy to sit through 3 hours of church all the while coughing.  It's not that I'm coughing a lot, I just feel like I have a big phlegm ball at the back of my throat and once I get it up then my throat hurts.  Oh well,  in a couple of days it'll all be over.  I hate missing church though.  I get a calling then I don't show up for two weeks.  I'm also suppose to help sing in the stake choir this afternoon  too.  I think I'll send Sheldon then have him bring the music home so I can look over it during the week.  

Well, I need to go and lay down again.  I need some more rest.
