Everyone's sick

Syd started it all by coming down with bronchitis.  He missed 2 days of work and coughed most of the night.  Now Matthew has a fever too and is coughing.  I haven't slept much because of the 2 of them.  Jake is ok now and hopefully won't get sick.  I'd hate for him to miss school since it just started. 
Yesterday we helped chop up coconut tree parts.  The tree had been cut down and the green waste trash pickup wouldn't take it because it wasn't cut up.  It wasn't our tree but good neighbors do good things.  So I'm sore in funny places today and even got a little bit of sun too.  Our neighbors bought Chinese food to thank us and it sure filled me up. 
I keep expecting Jake to bring home choke homework but so far it's been not so bad.  No reading for 50 minutes a night yet.  They have a reading program that rewards them with a movie but I think they read in a study hall type of setting.  The good news is that he likes Middle School.
My sister sent me a pic of gas below $4.00 a gallon.  It's $4.40 here so no long drives or just idling in the car with the a/c on.  We're usually in the top 10 highest gas prices in the nation here.

yeah, well on my way home I passed by this no name station down from the shell that I pictured and gas there had dropped since I passed this morning, it was down to 3.629. it figures it would go down after I had just pumped...but hey it was only 2 cents. though these falling prices AFTER daily radiation with $100 weekly gas bill is what really makes me mad!
