Snow day!!

Today started at 5:30AM with the school calling a 2 hour delay! Then at about 7:30AM they called to say school was closed - so another day off for the kiddos, making this a four day weekend!!! The weather is seriously crappy this morning and I had to go into town at 9AM for Cs parent/teacher conference!! I wasn't going to go but at the very last minute I decided to just suck it up and GO!!! It went great and C is doing so well at school! Then I ran to Mickey's and grabbed a frappe and some pies and then headed home! C is feeling better and even ate some apple sauce today and some toast - but he is still not 100%!! I spent the day working on my Project Life album and on laundry! I also snow blow the driveway and shoveled the steps! UPS was suppose to deliver me something but the bastards didn't show - assholes!!! Then after dinner I folded some laundry and cleaned the livingroom and vacuumed!! At 7PM I started getting the boys showered, I got C in bed and then I got the bigger boys in bed!! Now I'm waiting for daddy to get home (he had to head to Ohio for pizza) and I'm working on updating the blog while I'm listening to some scrapbooking pod casts! Now I'm gonna hit submit and head to my bed and read!!!

No school today for the kiddos!!!

It's president's day but that's not why we don't have school - it's parent/teacher conference day and for the first time in my kid's school history I opted out of doing conferences today!!! But that didn't mean I got to sleep in, C is still like seriously sick and it was time for to take him to the doctors!!! So I loaded him and Gman in the van and headed out the door - man was it freaking COLD!!! Like -7!!!

So we got there and got right in to see the nurse practitioner (I think) and the gave C a strep test and a flu test - man he did not like the flu test (swab up the nose), he cried and cried and cried!!! One good thing is that his lungs are CLEAR!!! So we had to wait around a bit for the tests to come back - the strep test was negative and the flu test was POSITIVE!!! So we just have to ride it out and lots of liquids and lots of rest!! After the doctors we ran to Wal Mart real quick to get some more supplies and then we headed home, C and I literally spent the rest of the whole day in bed!!! S (bless her heart) made lunch and dinner for the rest of the kids! Daddy got home at about 7:30PM and we got the boys showered and then he got them into bed! I read for a while and then it was off to dream land for me - I was not feeling like 100%!!!

No school today for the kids,

which meant no early morning for me, HOORAY!!! In fact everyone had today off, even daddy, he took a personal day because it's our 16th weeding anniversary!! But we couldn't laze around too long because daddy had to drop his car off at Buggy's at 8AM and we had parent teacher conferences starting at 9:20AM.  We saw L's teach, Mrs. H first and she told us how awesome L is doing!! He is smart, kind, helpful and very polite!!! Everyone wants to be Little man's friend!!! He is one of the top students in his class and is just doing OUTSTANDING!!! Then we saw Gman's teacher, Mrs. R and she said all the same things about Gman!! He is smart, kind, helpful and very polite!!! And everyone wants to be his friend!! He is struggling just a bit with his letters (only about 5 of them) and he is struggling a bit with anxiety, but she says she sees that a lot in kindergartners and it's nothing to be too overly concerned about, he will grow and mature in time!! After we were done daddy and I ran and got tons of movies to watch and to Dunkin Donuts to get the kids some treats!! Then we came home and watched movies all day!! It was a great relaxing day!!! So happy to have lived these last 16 years with my baby and I can't wait to see what the next 16 bring us!!!
