Rachel has been sick today. She called pretty upset because she got a fever and couldn’t handle the boys. So Mike & I left work about an hour and a half early. The kids made a ruckus around the house so I tried to do a quick cleanup. I got permission to work from home tomorrow to help out as Rachel has a Dr. appointment.

I got onto the computer to write in my journal but I got a bit distracted by checking out the new family search site. I really want to do temple work for some of my ancestors, but I can’t find any to do. Every time I think I found something I find a duplicate record that once combined shows there work done.
