Here Piggy Piggy...
Well, I hope that your week has gone better than mine. We have officially been homebound with the H1N1 since Saturday. Let's start at the beginning. Embree came to me at work complaining on Friday of her throat hurting so I assumed it was just sinus drainage which it has always been. I gave her some sudafed and sent her back to class. She didn't say anything else the rest of the day so she had a slumber party with her cousins that evening. About 10 in the morning the phone rang and it was E saying that I needed to pick her up because she was sick. I called the Dr. but all the appts. had been taken so I opted to take her to an a.m./p.m. clinic to make sure she was okay. She was diagnosed with the swine flu (yeah!) Anyway, I decided to stay home with her and let G take Hogan to his mom's so they could stay away from her. This sounded like a good idea until late Sunday evening when G called and said that H had just been diagnosed with the swine flu also. So now we have officially exposed ALL of the family to the H1N1 (however it was totally not intentional). So I have stayed home with the kids all week long and will continue until Monday. I have Lysoled, Febreezed, Cloroxed, and washed everything in the house. On the plus side, my house has never been cleaner. So if you have time say a prayer for the fam that we will continue to get better. The kids seem to be doing great, except now E has developed the crup along with her flu. I am definitely ready to get out of the house into some fresh air, no matter how crummy the weather is outside. Hopefully by the weekend we should ALL be better. I did however have a question when the kids were diagnosed with the swine flu- I was wondering if they had any type of craving for bacon or pork chops. They both said no so I guess that's not a side effect. I'm glad because I don't care for pork. Well I'll update you on our condition. Until next time...

I'M BACK!!!
Then I posted several quotes on character:
1. "The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back." --Abagail Van Buren
2. "People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
3. "Character is doing what's right when nobody is looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught." --JC Watts
4. "Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have." --Author unknown
5. "Character is so largely affected by association, that we can not afford to be indifferent as to who or what our friends are." -- Author Unknown
6. "You can't talk your way out of what you have behaved yourself into." --Stephen R. Covey
Then I state what God says about character: "Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character". 1 Corinthians 15:32-34
Then on the other board I took quotes of what our presidents said about character as this is very important as to how our nation was founded.
1. "Few men have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder." -- George Washington
2. "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men." -- John F. Kennedy
3. "If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under." --Ronald Reagan
4. "I care not what others think of what I do. I care very much of what I think of what I do- that is character." --Teddy Roosevelt
These are just a few of the quotes I found and you know as much as I hope it made my kids think, I know it made me think about it. Your character at the end of the day is all that matters so take care of it, value it, and cherish it. I am so afraid that we have become a nation where character is of no value and that needs to change. Anyway, I am working on my next boards already and I will keep you posted. I leave you with this final quote:
"Character is not what others think that I am, but what God and the angels know that I am."
