Knolltop Farm Wife (Melissa Hart)

Welcome to my blog! I'm a wife, mother of four and a self-employed freelance writer. In addition to writing, I am involved in producing several dairy magazines and am the editor of Dairy Agenda Today where I have a blog there as well! This is a place where I can get what's in my head, down on paper (the internet). I hope you find encouragement and maybe a giggle or two!

Sick Ward

Good Morning from a sick and recovering Knolltop.
It's been a sick ward around here with the couch and love seat both occupied with sick kids. The rest of us have tried to stay clear of the coughing and vomiting...and so far so good. No one else is sick except JW and Jake.

It's been a long time since I've been awakened in the middle of the night to the sounds of a kid moaning and groaning and calling for mom. But it happened Saturday night and made me thankful for older children! Those days of toddlers screaming in the wee hours of the morning will haunt every mom from the birth of motherhood til her death. And make her appreciate a good nights sleep!

It's sunny but chilly this morning and promising to be a beautiful day! The boys have their first game on Tuesday at home, Luke's 16th birthday is on Wednesday, along with his cousin, Adam's birthday, they have another home game on Thursday, the Michigan State Holstein Sale is on Friday and the show is on Saturday. Breathe!

A busy life is a good life...idle hands is the devil's workshop...right?

Sorry your family has been so sick, although I see they are on the mend now. It is hard isn't it, when you have to deal with illness and work too. I will hold good thoughts for you all.
