This is what I have to remember when I am hours away from home, taking care of my sick family, feeling too tired to keep up this pace.
**Please pray that Josh's fever will go away quickly and gain his energy back so we can lead worship for an incredible night at Two|Four on Wed.
P.S. I just spent more money today on things that I've already got at home than I would have for a whole weeks worth of groceries. I think I'm going to put a basket together of this kind of stuff and stick it under the seat in the car for future reference!

Ugh...I HATE that! But you gotta do what you gotta do. Sorry you guys are sick. Being sick away from home is awful! Hang in there and enjoy that coffee!
Aw tash, I am always amazed at how you do it...and do it well! Yes, you ARE doing it well =)
We are praying for you guys.
Tasha, don't forget to get new toothbrushes or soak yours in hot salt water or something. Sounds trivial, but you don't want to keep getting 'reinfected'. It always makes for a quicker recovery time, I think.
Found you on the mom blogs. We live away from home, too- overseas in Asia. Puts a whole new perspective on getting sick (and staying well!)
Colds and coughs always break my weekly budget for the week - but its worth it.
I pray all of you are well soon.
so sad... i just prayed for you guys. I try to bring some stuff with me on trips as well. It does seem like everyone gets sick when we travel. It is so not fun. You are one tough mama!
