Rest

Today begins my Christmas break from work. For the past few years, I've taken off the days between Christmas and New Year's, and it's a delightful tradition. I got today off because we were planning on traveling down to the Las Vegas bowl, but we decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Turned out to be a good decision, because T threw up twice yesterday morning and has had lovely diarrhea ever since. This morning, he woke up super early with poop all over himself. As I cleaned him up, I realized I was getting blind spots. A migraine--what a lovely way to start the day. But A was able to stay home from work this morning so I could rest, which was quite possibly the loveliest thing I've experienced in a long time. I slept and slept and the kids only came to visit a few times. The Christmas show on TV, plus the Playdoh S got from her school party yesterday helped keep them entertained.

It's after lunch and I'm still in my pjs. I love being lazy. :)

P.S. A few pics from yesterday's Christmas programs. H was the innkeeper in his preschool program. He did a great job: "No room! But I have a really nice stable, and I can get some clean straw." And S did awesome at her clogging performance. Here she is with her friend Amy.

OH yeah, and I hope your family starts to feel better soon. Hearing your description of their sickness just about has me decided to make my kids skip nursery on Sunday. Just in case. :-D

T is already doing better, but I'm not holding my breath about church. We'll see how the other two kids do between now and then...

Ugh. Sounds like a great start to a vacation. At least you're getting the sickness out before Christmas, though!

My daughter got that stomach bug too. Her teacher said it was going around, but it only lasted a day and a half, and none of the other kids got it. (I hope) Have a great Christmas:)

S does. We have neighbors who have a great clogging program.
