I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! My family spent the holiday up at my parents place. It was fun, but very busy for me.
My poor mom ended up with the start of a cold. So Friday I loaded her up with Delsem (since her cough was non-productive) and Emercen-C. Also, on Friday, my 16 month old niece came up to visit a day ahead of her mom. She ended up getting a fever that afternoon and my mom were busy taking care of her. Then over night I sent my mom to bed and took care of my niece. Ended up sleeping on the chair with her, so she wouldn’t get so stuffed up she couldn’t sleep.
My mom relieved me in the morning and sent me to sleep, while she took care of my kids and neice. My kids had a blast while I was sleeping; my dad took them outside for about an hour. Then then went on a 4-wheeler ride with my dad around the island. The got to see the lake with a small coat of ice on the top. They thought it was really cool! Boys and I made peanut butter blossoms with my mom for Christmas and then we helped put up their tree.
Saturday we decorated the Christmas tree and only had one ornamental casualty. Vincent was looking for ornaments that were not “glassable” his word for breakable. He was so excited he picked up an ornament in paper and the second one – a glassable one fell on the wood floor and broke.
Sunday after we got home, my husband started feeling sick. He ended up staying home from work Monday and Tuesday. So I got to take care of the kids and the Husband. All while feeling a bit like crap myself.
However, I wasn’t lucky enough to get sick enough to stay home from work. Which sadly, I wouldn’t have minded…maybe I’d finally get enough sleep….lol. So here I sit, feeling a bit better and looking forward to this weekend and the adventures it will bring.
