annslee and i finally went back to the doctor two days ago. she had a nasty ear infection and i had developed a wicked sinus infection. so…$60 in office visit co-pays and $40 in prescriptions and 2 days later…we are finally starting to feel better.
there is nothing like being sick to make you grateful for health. i’m over complaining about this never-ending virus…but seriously.
in other news…
in 1 hour and 26 minutes…i am ordering tickets for the united states women’s national team soccer match against china that is going to be played in the dynamo’s stadium in december. i never, ever, ever thought that i would get to see them play. but…lo and behold…here they come. and here i go.
thank God i saved some birthday money for this thing…or i might just be takin’ it to the streets.
****
even though i was feeling lousy this weekend, the decorations came out.
we all needed a little boost around here…and i knew just what would bring it on.
and you can always count on chase to make sure that individuals like kermit pay tribute to the Christ child. every time i pass by the nativity…there is some new character making his pilgrimage to bethlehem on a steer…or a donkey…or a camel.
or on a shepherd’s back.
it never fails to make me smile.
we were all treated to a puppet show…thanks to the styling of chase and aiden.
i suppose the weekend was about tapping into our creative talents…because aiden also wrote and illustrated a short story. it’s about a turkey named steakie.
and trust me when i say…that if you ever get a chance to read this story…you should do it. and count your blessings.
and finally, the wise men made a trip across the living room/africa accompanied by the night boats to cairo. thank you to just dance 3 for making this little ditty famous to kids everywhere. this is a song i could do without being on i pod repeat. but it’s there. and i’m pretty sure to stay.
here’s hoping to continually feeling better.
AND…
the, not one…but TWO holiday lunches that i am having at the school today.
