Shingles and Airplanes

I think I would like to have a 'normal' week, just once.  Although, my idea of what normal would be proably doesn't even exist.  Have any of you ever had a week where there were no problems, no fighting, no unresolved issues, etc?  A week where kids go off to school (wake up happy and return home happy), husband or wife goes off to work and you have a blissful peaceful day at home with no housework to do, no phone calls to answer?  I think what I am describing is called - vacation, not a normal week...lol!

Abigail came down with shingles last week.  The girl is going stir crazy and is ready to be turned loose.  We think she'll be able to go back to school tomorrow.  It could have been a lot worse than it was.  We are so thakful for everyone's prayers for her.  She was in some pain, had some itching....but, she was able to keep her mind off with watching movies and sewing with her new machine.

We send John off tomorrow morning.  He'll be gone for two weeks before the kids and I join him in the States at attend his sister's wedding.  We're gonna miss him during the two weeks we are apart!  He will be flying into GA, then heading to AL before going to TN where he will spend the week in Disaster Response Training.  He will also be meeting with doctors for a good check up and review of his diabities.  So, he'll be pretty busy, but we know he'll miss us too!
