  • Smart remarks about a week of sick kids on Facebook

    This week I made a bunch of smart remarks about sick kids on Facebook.


    Today January 25

    Andy is home from church with sick boys so we’re . . . having sword fights and . . . playing the harmonica. 10:02am

    Yesterday January 24

    Andy thinks there are lots of people out this Saturday morning–starting to get into the spring routine. But I could just be projecting that. 10:13am

    Joel Scandrett at 10:20am January 24

    uh, “spring routine?”

    Andy Rowell at 10:23am January 24

    It is 53 degrees right now in Durham, NC. We were just outside riding bikes and playing soccer. I see it is 3 degrees in my hometown Wheaton, Il where you are Joel. Sorry. What a difference 50 degrees makes.

    Natalie Freeman Calhoun at 10:25am January 24

    That is so very very wrong.

    I actually also think in terms of three seasons: “Fall Semester” “Spring Semester” and “Summer” and spring semester began a couple weeks ago.

    apology accepted. 😉

    Love your acronym!

    January 22

    Andy taught 1 year old Jacob to throw Kleenex in the garbage can. Now he keeps digging it out and throwing in back in. I’ve created a monster. 11:59am

    January 20

    Andy would like to buy stock in Kleenex because my boys alone will keep them profitable. 5:08pm

    Andy looked through 7 bins of clothes and didn’t find the snowsuits. That is the problem when it only snows once a year. 9:25am

    January 19

    Andy wonders if “demon-possessed” children were brought to Jesus but all they had was a cold. Sometimes it is difficult to know the difference. 8:58am

    Andy rents out sick children. Low low price. Special opportunity to wipe snotty noses! 8:01am

    Natalie Freeman Calhoun at 8:10am January 19

    Hehehe do you accept other sick kids in trade? You can send me your runny noses if I can send you my upset stomachs?

    Joel Scandrett at 12:05pm January 19

    I’ll see your cold and raise you a stomach virus!

    January 17

    Andy is minivan-shopping, reading Barth’s commentary on Romans, and playing with the Shake’n’Go speedway. 3:49pm

    Andy notes that “Jakey likes it”–namely Life Cereal. Our 1 year old ate three bowls of Life this morning. What a discovery–he likes sugar. 8:56am

    January 16

    Andy thinks it is hard for those of us who love our jobs (pastor, student, etc.) to take Sabbath. But among other reasons, our kids need us to do so anyway. 9:26am
