Tuesday

Fortunately my throat is feeling better. I slept a lot last night and plan to sleep a lot tonight. That usually does the trick for me, hopefully I'll stop this cold in it's tracks. Michael and Kara are both getting sick, so I doubt it!

I decided to rest and not do anything today, but there's always the normal things that need to be done. Take Kara to school, pick her up, change Kara's pee sheets, do a load of laundry, make dinner, do dishes, play with Kara and her little gerbil, etc. I did manage to rest quite a bit, which was nice. I watched some old movies: Road to Morocco and Bonnie & Clyde. Road to Morocco was funny and I liked it, but Bonnie & Clyde was very sad and depressing. I did see Warren Beatty as a young guy though - he was beautiful! I've only seen him the last few years, in his 70s. It made me wonder what Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt will look like as old men. :-)

Now Michael is out with the guys for a fishing meeting and I hope he's blowing off some steam. He's working so much and so hard. I know he's totally got the momentum going and having fun, but I think he could use some time to laugh with the guys and think about something other than work.

Tomorrow I'm taking Kara on a field trip - Santa is coming to McDonalds and her whole school is going. It's the last day of school before Christmas vacation, so we'll all meet there, see Santa, play in the play area, and leave whenever we feel like it. Then vacation starts!

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas week. :-)
