Flu v3.0
Good morning:)
Frosty is not the word I’d use for this morning. Apparently, we are experiencing an arctic blast. ATM it’s -30 (wind chill). That’s just ridiculous. I heard things popping all night behind the house. I’m assuming it was more branches falling or exploding. This last week alone, we’ve had a really bad snow storm and bad ice storm–oh and the flu:( I am not sure Sarah and I are back to 100 percent yet. Jamie got up this morning and he was very teary, so he’s probably not either. The 3 of them did make it to their Christmas parties on Friday, so that was good. We were supposed to have gone into Chicago on Tuesday night to see Santa and out to dinner with Aunt Kathy but that’s the day Jamie and I came down with the flu, so we canceled it. I hated to do it last minute, but there was no way around it. It’s a good thing though because as I said, we had a really bad snow storm. Reports were that it was taking up to 5 hours for some people to make their normal 1 hour commute. Sarah and I did go into Chicago last night with my friend, Jeanette and her daughter Jackie. We went to the American Girl Place . I think this is our 3rd year we’ve gone in and done this:) Kinda of a tradition now:) The new American Girl Place is amazing. It’s enormous. It just keeps going and going. They moved to the old Lord and Taylor Department Store in Water Tower Place last month or so. It’s so nice.
Maria had her family’s Slava on Friday. She and her mother-in-law spent several days getting ready for it. I just got a text message from her saying her hands hurt because she spent 6 hours straight washing dishes:( I can not imagine such a production like that. I’m doing good to get Christmas dinner for the 5 of us … I can’t imagine serving a sit down ‘to do’ all day long. It’s a good thing Elizabeth brought her some new pots of Nivia back from Poland:) Sounds like she needs it!
I think Paul and I are finally going to get to go see Twilight today:) Yay! Jamie is going to his Yu Gi Oh tournament and Hero Clix tournament today. He’s so excited. He had gone off of them for a little while for some reason, but he’s got his Yu Gi Oh deck ready to go for today:) I believe we also have a few odds and ends to pick up today as well to finish off our shoppping.
Ok well, I’ve been trying to write this for an hour and I really need to get it to yall. Hope yall have a wonderful day and don’t stress to much this week:)
take care,
~kat:)
