We went to MIL’s funeral on Wednesday; it went very well, and Hubby got to get caught up with many relatives he has not seen for 20 or more years. My folks had flown down for it, and Bro came to it also. We were all able to catch up with some friends we hadn’t seen in a few years on top of the family Hubby had gotten caught up with.
Wednesday evening we took my parents out to dinner to celebrate my Mom’s birthday. Steve & Kathy joined us for the occasion, and a great meal and we had a blast. We headed back to the hotel after that, and this time it was my turn to take the kids swimming while Hubby napped. Everything seemed to be going fine until around 10:30 when #3 became ill. Originally we thought it might have been food poisoning or perhaps an allergy to sea food (from dinner).
We made the drive north to my folks “winter house” early Thursday morning, where we unloaded dozens of boxes my folks had mailed me over the last couple weeks, and a dresser for Mom to store fabric in. We helped Mom & Dad with some yard work for a couple hours, and then headed home to pick the dogs up from the kennel and get settled in. Last night we discovered that #3 had some sort of virus when I became sick, and tonight #1 is sharing the joy and going through it himself. At this rate #2 and Hubby should have it tomorrow and Sunday. This will derail the plans we had to go back down to my folks place Sunday and do some more yard work.
This evening I’ve been getting ready for class tomorrow morning, printing off all my homework (which is when I discovered I hadn’t gotten it all done like I previously thought) and going over the chapters. We have a review of the first few chapters tomorrow morning. My instructor will be e-mailing us our mid-term sometime in the next few days, I’m hoping he nails down a more precise time tomorrow so I can not worry about sitting next to the computer monitoring my e-mail every few minutes looking for the darn thing!
