Dang, a week has gone by since I blogged? Geesh.
Let's see...
Last Thursday I had my day job work holiday lunch catered by Jack Stack BBQ - yum. This will probably be the last year as they are tearing down the mall :o(
That night Henry had his pack meeting and we did an obstacle course. I had to lead my den. Heh. I was unprepared. We had to tie hooks to our wrists with string and then hook ourselves to rope. Then go under and around a saw horse, through 3 hoola hoops, through a 50 gallon barrel that had the ends cut off and then untangle ourselves from 2 knots in the rope – get to the end to have your string cut then you back and help the others. Whew! We did come in 2nd place out of 5 dens
Saturday morning I woke with a left-over headache from Friday night so I cancelled the scout activity that I was supposed to host at my house.
That afternoon I was supposed to have the carpets cleaned but the shmuck that came out was the same one that came out 6 months ago. See, the company that came out 6 months ago suckered me into treating my carpets so that in 6 months they'd come out and clean again and said I'd only have to pay $51 to have them clean them again. Well after the dude wrote up the ticket he said it'd be $122. WTH? He said my carpets were very dirty (no shit dumbass) and that he'd need to deep scrub them and that I wouldn't be happy with the $51 steam clean. Needless to say, my ears got hot, I directed some of my energy at him and he left and I didn't have him clean the carpets. I had already moved all the furniture and I wans't about to move it all back without cleaning it so I went to the grocery store and rented a cleaner and came back and did it myself. I don't think I'll ever pay for someone to clean my carpets. I am quite pleased with how clean they came. I've rented them before and been pleased so I'll just stick with what makes me happy and does the job well - ME!
My mom took the kids to get their picture taken with her while I cleaned. So when they got back I got cleaned up and we went to a holiday party at a friends. It was 70 degrees and just perfect! She has a trampoline and I seriously think I'm going to get one for the kids. We just had too much fun! Yes, WE did
Sunday was church of course, then I worked in the afternoon and then we went to church for the Christmas dinner and listened to the teen, adult and bell choirs.
Yesterday was "hot skin snuggles" day. Lincoln felt warm Sunday night and by the middle of the night he was burning hot with fever. He had a little cough but not much, a drippy nose with semi-clear snot but poor guy had a fairly high fever. I'm guessing 103 or so.
My mom stayed with him in the morning so I could come to work and "check in" and I left at 11:30am to go home and be with him. When I picked him up to hold him he asked for "hot skin snuggles". awww!
He slept the afternoon on and off and slept through the night and sprang up this morning at 5:50am chatting away and feeling fine. Quick rebound!
Tonight I finalize the menu and pack as tomorrow we go to the Great Wolf Lodge! I'm soooo excited! I've asked each boy what he wants for dinner and breakfast so they will have exactly what they want. We'll have lunch there on Thursday before we leave. Yay!
