Weekend is over. Not that it felt like a weekend. Thursday did, though. Josh was home all day, and Grant was snowed out of school. Josh worked his new schedule Friday and yesterday, and is there today. I don't really know what he thinks, yet.
Me and the kids made snowmen out of construction paper. I helped with detail stuff, but they were largely on their own. And now they are having hot dogs and fruit and goldfish crackers for dinner (don't scoff, we had fillet mignon for lunch, so there!) and I'm having Jello, because my throat is still swollen. So much ouch. But I have the feeling that I might start getting better tomorrow. That's good, because I couldn't swallow my fancy lunch, so I had to put it in the fridge.
To appease your curiosity, the meat was on sale at the butcher. We also got Josh some Krakow, which was very, very not on sale.
OW! (Just yelled at the dog.)
We are watching Frosty the Snowman, in honor of our recent creations.
Josh went this morning to help our friend Johnny move into his new house. All our friends are moving into fancy houses. This one came with 3 acres. I didn't see it, though. Me and the kids and dogs stayed home. I saw Josh for about 20 minutes for lunch, and then he went off to work. No fun for the sicky.
Christmas approaches. Are the people around you starting to get a crazed look in the eye? Just asking. Christmas may be ridiculous, but I'll tell you one thing: no one would be out there putting money back into the economy for any less reason, with all this cold weather. But that doesn't mean I like the way Christmas is presented. I feel like the kid in the old cartoon, "I'll eat it...but I won't like it!!"
Tomorrow is a school day. We have three of those, this week. I'm not really sure what this week is going to be like, actually. I think we are going back to the butcher at some point, and then Grant will be off on Thursday, and Friday we will go to Josh's mom's house. Josh will have to leave at 1 to go to work. I'd like to leave in time to make it home before dark. I wonder how easy that would be. Not very, I'd imagine.
And what will I do on Christmas Day after Josh leaves? At one point, I had decided to grab a neighbor or two and go caroling. Doesn't that sound kind of nice? Well, the swollen throat thing is making that pretty impossible. That reminds me, I had wanted to go to Herman this December to see the carolers there...but this was the last weekend before Christmas. Maybe next year, if I'm not sick again. Jenn would go with me, wouldn't you, Jenn?
Next time, perhaps we should discuss highlights of 2010, and our personal and world hopes for 2011. Start thinking. This will be on the exam. Oh - pardon my joke. Some of you might be a touch sensitive to the word "exam" at this time of year.
Well, I don't know what time it says I wrote this, but many minutes have escaped while the writer was a-writing. I need to supervise some brushing of teeth and tuck in some tired children. It is a school night, after all.
Hoping that all is well in your heart and home. Take care, and wash your hands often!
