I am soooo sick now. I have been up since 2 a.m. with my youngest being sick. I have a sore throat and ear along with a nasty fever. I just wish I would get over this cold and that all my kids would get over it too.

Tonight is Roy's first date. He is going out with Julie finally. He has wanted to go out with her since the first week of school. Now they are going together for the kids night out at school. He is really looking forward to it. He refused to ask his dad if he could go and finally I brought it up and dad said yes. He was so afraid that his dad would say no he couldn't go that he was depressed for three days over it. Dad's even giving him the money to go. I told him he just needed to talk to his dad in a nice way. He just thinks his dad is so mean. He was ready to run away from home to go to this thing with Julie it meant so much to him, but he wouldn't ask his dad. I find that disturbing. I know now that as soon as Roy is old enough he will be out of this house with out any choice from me.

Otherwise I am excited for Roy to be going on his first real date. He's 14 now so I guess I should have expected it to come soon.
