where I left off
Hello!
I struggled (and I mean Struggled) through Friday alone with the kids, collapsing into a heap as soon as Brian got home. Several times during the day J said, "Mom, I think I want Daddy to come home now." I decided if I didn't feel better when I got up the next morning, I'd go to the doctor. Sure enough, after dragging myself up there Saturday, I had Strep Throat. I've never had it before and man, that's miserable. They gave me a prescription for the wonderful and magical gift of modern medicine, a "Z-Pack." By Sunday, I was once again functioning, with a migraine from all of the dehydration, but functioning.
And yesterday, I was myself- hollering at kiddos, sewing faces on baby dolls, decorating the house, but worrying terribly about a little family that I don't know. I have been slightly obsessed with this story. As soon as I heard they found Kati Kim and her children, I cried like a baby. I think it's just seems way too familiar. So many times we've been off on some camping adventure, with our little ones strapped in our wagon, on some winding highway, semi-lost, no cell phone service. We could be them. I desperately want this to have happy ending.
Please find him soon.

I have been the same way about the Kims. Obsessed and then when they found Kati and the girls I cried too. We don't camp so much but we do go wandering/hiking and I feel just like you - that could be us. I've been praying for them and I'm hoping the happy ending is soon.

i know, i keep checking the search sites too, i was so happy last night when i heard that kati and the kids were okay, but i'm so concerned for her husband.
and that z pack your doctor gave you? i'm glad it works for someone cuz i'm allergic. (of course i'm allergic. why wouldn't i be?)

Strep throat is awful -- I'm glad you are on the mend!
Yes, I've been keeping a close eye on the Kim family updates. I hope they find him soon.

I've been thinking about the Kims non-stop. I'm praying for a miracle...they must find James.

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. I've never had strep (knock on wood), but I've seen it knock my kids down.

Oh dear. I'm single mama this week too but thankfully without strep throat. Glad the magic pills have helped you get back to normal.
Praying over here too. Worry is one of my specialities!

Glad you're feeling better. I think the Kims are on everyones minds - I swear I spent all of last night dreaming of being snowbound in the middle of nowhere. Fingers and toes crossed.

So glad you are feeling better. Strep is awful. I've had it one too many times. Yuck!
I'm with you (and everyone else) on the Kims. They have to find him!
Hope your week is going well love.

hope you're feeling better soon. every time the kim's come to mind, I take a moment to pray for them...i think all of our hearts rejoice that they found the mother and children and agonize over the father still missing....
take care of yourself....
