Sometimes a homemade cookie makes the world right again.

First let me explain.....

I am a nursery leader for our ward...We have a sign on our door that explains to parents when NOT to bring their child into nursery such as...

- Runny nose
- Cough
- fever....to name a few

I think we need to make it a little bigger...extra LARGE print if you know what I am saying:) Because time and again parents tend to ignore this sign, even with this bad flu going around. Of course I do nothing, but what I feel like doing is handing the child right back over to them, and saying "please take your child home". It is just a common courtesy in my opinion. Plus if you are sick that is where you should be so you can get better. NO one else wants to share your sickness with you. Anyway, this last Sunday low and behold....it happened again! This time I caught what this kid and his brother had GRRRR! Now this was a different situation though because these 2 boys mother has been non existent since I have been in this ward. She came for the first time that day. Usually their grandma takes care of them (it's a sad long story). Other wise I am to the point where I will just hand your child back if they are sick. I couldn't in this case because I was glad the mother was here at church with her 2 boys (one boy was not even 11 months old that she left in nursery). SO both of them had this horrible cough, and boogers everywhere :(. Luckily Rachel who is also in nursery with me has not caught it, nor has Becca and Nathan. I have not been sleeping well, and that really takes a toll on your immune I have come to find. SO I came down with the flu, and cough, and cold. I am on the mend though thanks to my Immuplex I have been downing the last few days:).

So today due to not feeling well, the girls and I made cookies (which is totally not what I should eat being sick). I did though, and it felt so comforting and wonderful....that I think I just might go have another:)! Here is a pic of the girls playing with their Light Bright. And the cookies we made! Yum! Please ignore the dirty dishes piled in my sink, because I sure did.

Oh man....Those cookies smell I mean look yummy!! Heheee...That is so LAME for parents to do that. THat is the worst getting someone else sick! I'm sorry you caught it. You should just go home and make a HUGE poster that says the same thing and put it on the door. Then maybe parents will listen...I hope you saved me one of those cookies! HHAHAHA GET BETTER! (I am kind of sick too btw...it sucks...)

Sorry you are feeling sick! I wish we could bring you over some soup - that you could eat along with your yummy cookies! I must say though....it makes me feel better to see dishes in your sink as your home is always a great picture of perfection! :) Keep relaxing and soon you'll be back to your peak of perfection!!

Mmmm, those cookies look yummy! I just ate way too many orange rolls when I shouldn't be doing that. Isn't that the worst thing though, getting sick in nursery when you know the parents know better? Hope you get better soon!

Light Bright's still exist?? Sweet. Sometimes the picture of a homemade cookie makes me want one SO bad! I'm glad I read your post today because I was starting to feel guilty about missing church for the last 2 weeks due to sickness. But yeah, nobody wants to be sick like me.
