Hangin' in There by a Thread

Okay, so remember I knew last week was going to be challenging? I had no idea how challenging. Nutcracker was wonderful, really beautiful. Brittany, if you ask her will tell you it was "awesome". However, it meant she and I spent every night but Monday up at Weber for performances or rehearsals, chaperoning or boutique work. Long week but I knew that was coming. Then you have to figure in the unexpected. Thursday night Joshua's eardrum ruptured. Off we go to the doctor Friday morning got medicine and hoped for the best. Saturday after the first performance Brittany wasn't feeling well but I thought she was just really tired, which she was, she napped and off she went to the last evening performance. Saturday night 15 minutes before we left to see the final performance, the one my family had tickets for Joshua again decided throw us for a loop.

See this cute boy?

See those little balls involved in Matthew's creations? Yeah, one of them is now inside my boy. I couldn't believe it! He has never been a kid that you had to watch with small objects. He has NEVER put a toy in his mouth. Apparently he was saving it for Nutcracker. So after a couple of calls to Wee Care and our beloved Dr. Mike we went off to the performance, slightly guilt ridden on my part. Then came home and had visit number two to the doctor at 11:00 at night. X-rays showed it was in his intestines and nature should solve this problem. So now I am poop patrol.

And the girl that I thought was just tired? This is her today. Strep throat. Doctor visit number three in four days.

William left for Canada for two days this morning. He is supposed to come home Wednesday. So help me if there is a storm and he gets stuck for Thanksgiving it just might put me over the edge.

End of whining.
