Don't think I have lost my mind. (After all, My mom always says you can't lose what you never had.) I am on the PTA board at our local elementary school. Don't worry, I do remember that Scott and I are childless. Well that is Mungo and Aunt Sue do not attend. I spent the entire day there on Tuesday doing hearing tests on the kids and then a long board meeting. I felt so sad for the children you could tell were not looked after. It was amazing to see them sit up straighter when I smiled at them. Just a simple smile and they looked so happy, I wanted to give them all hugs. It is a great opportunity to put into action what my mouth says about the importance of community support, children being our future and education. In the evening I spent my time raising money for
Primary Children's hospital with about 90 teenagers. Where I serve now since Scott is Bishop is still with the teens ages 12 - 18 but on a larger scale. The fund raiser is called Pennies by the Inch, last year we raised almost 4,000. It is near and dear to my heart because of my brother who was one of those miracle babies. He had a really rough start in life. I was wondering why then I got so sick? I was exposed to about 650 teens/ children all packing germs- go figure. I was hoping that since I have been eating so healthy my immune system would have had a kick booty response-- no such luck:( At one point my fever was 105- did you know at that height you get delirious? Scott became alarmed when I was talking to someone not there and trying to dance. Really it was more of an interpretive hand jive. I hardly remember any of it. Scott gave me a Priesthood blessing and finally the fever broke. It keeps spiking up and then dropping down to 96.9. Take about indecisive:) Next we called in the big guns. We have our own very dear witch doctor Marj. She has a bag of tricks with oils and herbs and what Scott calls woolly worm bat tails. After the first treatment I got way worse then felt tons better. Now I feel horrid again. This is Sunday so I have been ill for 5 days. I am missing all the fun; Scott, Ben, Sarah, Bret and Collen had a good time without me:( Karson's birthday came and went, Michele's birthday came and went, everyone has had new babies I can't hold or see. Scott is bored and nervous hoping he is not next. I can tell a difference in my face swelling without having had dairy; that is a plus. I have another call into our Marj to see what I should do next.
