Ain't got time for that

Yesterday the Martin family was sick.  We all have a fever and cough. Matt and I were in a coughing contest last night and the kids were coughing to Deck the Halls with medicine. Cough, cough, cough,  cough, cough.
One thing this family doesn't do sick. We have a full schedule this week "Ain't nobody got time to be sick". Payce missed dance yesterday and only made it for 30min today so we could go to Hilltop Lakes and see Santa fly in on a helicopter and give out Candy Canes.
I waited on Payce for 45 minutes at school today and to find out she wasn't even at UIL practice because in her words she got kicked out. She was horsing around not listening. Tomorrow is her competition so excited for her. Now to figure out what for her to wear.
I was ask to help with Payce's Christmas party at school and felt up for the challenge till I talked to other parents and what they are doing for there kids party. So I got on Pinterest and felt like a total failure as a parent with the ideas I had.
Tomorrow is our big "Soldier Christmas Greeting's" event. Sending cards to the soldiers and wounded warriors. We almost have enough to represent each citizen in our small town by sending Christmas card.

Yesterday Red was in the Ice maker because someone (Landon) thought he needed a kiss. We talked to the kids about the fact that just because you put him in the ice maker doesn't make him better just as Going to church doesn't  make you a Christian. You have to spread God's message not only in your words but your actions.
I asked Landon why he kissed Red and he said "I just love him being in our family so much." Its hard to be upset or let him (Red) suffer to long but Landon needed to suffer for a little while. So Today Red and Grace were in the hospital (freezer) all day. He didn't fly home to Santa last night and Grace didn't leave his side. What a great pair those two make. We really are going to have to step it up tonight and have them make a HUGE comeback in the morning.
