I can't believe it's been over a month since the last post...can you say SLACKER?!? Actually, I've been bogged down with school (finals were the first week of December), and then we were hit with the flu (not sure what strain of the virus though). Now we're battling chicken pox!
Kate came home from school yesterday and said to me, "Mom, my belly scratches. Can I have some lotion for it?" to which I responded, "I think you mean itches. And yes, you can have some lotion." Then she said, "Good, because it really scratches." I then replied, "Well, let me see... oh. Chicken pox. Lovely." So who knows where she picked it up, but now she's got it, and that means Sarah isn't far behind!
At first I was grumpy about it. I mean, between battling the flu and finals in the same week and now this, when do I get a break?!? But the more I thought about it, the more I am thankful for the situation as it is. I am on my winter break and home every day. I wouldn't be able to take classes if I couldn't take the girls to the day care, and Katherine is out of school now anyway, so she's not missing much either (except her Christmas party...). I guess the timing is, in a way, perfect.
Anyway, I didn't want anyone to think I had forgotten the blog! In fact, I will probably have chicken pox pictures up soon. And we are headed to Mom's this weekend, so that means we will have pictures of the girls trimming the tree and building a gingerbread house! What fun!
Hope everyone is happy and healthy!
