Learning to iron

Yesterday Shayna stayed home from school. She was soooo sick Saturday night and all of Sunday. She had the stomach flu and I have never seen her so sick. She threw up around 30 times. She was so dehydrated that she was just heaving and when she would cry she hardly had tears and she hadn't gone to the bathroom for hours and hours. I was getting scared and told Tyler if she threw up one more time we were going to the hospital. We were finally able to get her to take a few sips of Gatorade and she was able to keep that down. She fell asleep for about an hour and a half and when she woke up she drank about a cup of Gatorade. That made a world of difference. She was able to keep it down and started feeling so much better. I was very thankful, that was getting way to scary.
I kept her home from school on Monday because she still hadn't eaten and didn't want to eat any breakfast. Around afternoon she was able to eat some crackers and drink some sprite. She started getting some of her energy back and wanted to help me iron.
Go for it I said. I think I am training this girl well. She loves to cook, she always helps when I clean and now she loves to iron.


















She makes it very hard for me to send her to school. I wish I could keep her home always. She is such a good helper!
Love you Shay!!

That makes me laugh Kim! I forgot people thought it was weird to iron jeans. I totally iron everything. My kids never go to school without ironed pants and shirts. Haha! Thanks for teaching me how to look good Dad!!
