I'm back!

Boy, did it ever feel good to take the weekend off! Apologies to any regular readers, but the truth is, I really needed it. And if my entry Friday was any indication, I don't think I could have formulated too much that was coherent and/or interesting over the last two days.

Funny that I feel so re-grouped this morning, despite the fact my weekend was anything but restful. After both kids being sick Friday, they seemed fine (though my three-year-old had a cold) Saturday morning. They did their classes, and were so well behaved until it was time to pick up hubby at his office.

My three year old developed a fever, was cranky, and forced us to throw our dinner plans out the window. And just when we finally got her medicated and in bed, she decided she was hungry after all... and thus went the rest of our weekend. After several wake-ups during Saturday night, she woke up with a fever of 40.2 C yesterday morning (that's 104.3 for American readers!) and an earache, so I whisked her to the clinic, where her doc decided that given her history and upcoming surgery, she'd prescribe antibiotics even though she didn't yet have a full-blown ear infection. We both hoped that starting meds early would mean she'd be better in time for surgery.

After the weekend from hell, it looks like she'll be fine by Wednesday.

Probably that's why I finally feel better today. A lot of the stress that has been eating at me over the last week seems to have resolved itself little by little since Friday. And the last few things that are up in the air ought to come down by Christmas. Plus, the fact that this is just a two-day work week for me makes it all that much more bearable!

I'm back tomorrow with my regular challenges - and some pictures of my knitting accomplishments (I'm sure no one else cares, but I'm really proud of myself!)
