I can’t believe that Christmas is only a week away. It ran up and smacked me while I wasn’t looking. I’ve been trying to catch up, but catching up is never easy. I’m baking, cleaning, shopping and wrapping. When I’m not crazy doing those things I’m working, helping the girls get their graduation or college stuff done, or participating in more enjoyable events like bunco, and bible study.
Monday night a storm came in a provided the girls with a snow day. No, we didn’t get a lot, but hey, it’s New Mexico – technically a desert, so they freak if there’s more than a dusting. Actually, the roads iced over and that was the big concern. The girls all went with friends sledding, snowman building and for general frivolity in the snow. Unfortunately, both Ducky and LadyBug were already getting sick, so wet cold snow fun did not really help. Ducky was quite ill yesterday, complaining of ear pain. For those of you reading my blog for some time, you might remember, we have had ongoing drama, trauma and excitement via Ducky’s MUE. (Messed up Ears). Since it’s finals weeks, both girls went to school anyway, and we took Ducky in after school for the shocking diagnosis of a severe ear infection — *gasp*. So she’s on a bunch of meds, Ladybug is feeling better after some rest and cold medicines. Unfortunately again for them, finals continue and they both still have to go to school again today. Poor babies.
Meanwhile – the hectic pace of last minute Christmas preparations is beginning to slow. I’m glad as this year especially I didn’t feel like I was getting to really enjoy the holidays.
OHH – OH! Forgot to tell you. My sister ended up coming up here to ABQ to get an amnio. They were concerned about several things. The results of the amnio were great and it looks as if it going to be a healthy baby boy! Woot for them!
Alright, I have tons to do before heading in to work today. Some final shopping, wrapping and as always the unending house cleaning. But I wanted to let everyone know I was indeed still hanging around! I’m going to leave you with some snowman humor, hubby sent me a bunch of these I’ll share a couple a day – they crack me up. Course, I’m slightly demented myself, so that’s no real surprise.
I’ll be back to visit and comment later on – hopefully this evening. Until then,
Question of the day:
What is your favorite snow day activity?
