During Thanksgiving dinner I realized that, this would be my last Thanksgiving dinner with my entire family for at least 3 years.  Megan will be gone next year and Rye will be gone the two after that and well, Chris had to put in his two sense and remind me that he would probably be gone also (I just smiled - who knows:).  So, we had to have a family picture. Katie is in her pj's because she got really sick.  Started Tuesday morning.  Wed she was screaming for hours about her ear hurting so I took her to the doctor.  Pretty cool, the doc let me look in her ear - it was soooo red.  No wonder she was screaming.  Ear infection and upper respiratory infection.  She has been miserable for days.  Yesterday she started perking up.  I'm having her stay home one more day just to give her one more day of resting (I'm sure I will regret it- hee, hee).  Tay is at home sick today (sore throat, cough, stuffy nose....) and needs to be taken to the doctor because of a very, very itchy rash that started a few days after we arrived in Disney world.  I've tried all kinds of creams but nothing is helping.  Poor guy.   And I guess will see who else gets sick.....
Last Monday we got to hang out with r California cousins.  They came to ski in Park City and called us so we could get together.  Love em:)
 Found out that when UPS said that my package would be here Tuesday they were saying Tuesday Nov 27th so hopefully tomorrow will get r carry on.  Two weeks after we arrived home.
Since Tuesday we have pretty much stayed in the house due to illness.  Usually we get r tree, go to a movie, maybe do some black Friday shopping.  It was a quiet long weekend.  Katie mostly wanting to be held - I was ok with that:)
Meg has decided to go to the Temple this Friday to get her endowments out.  When I called the Temple and explained r situation (Chris) they told me that it would be best to do an early session so that they can be helpful to Chris if he needs anything.  I never thought that Chris would be able to attend the temple with his daughter.  I am sooo excited.  One less thing to be sad about missing. Huge blessing!!!
This is a crazy week for me.  Toooo much in so little time.  Praying that everyone who is sick gets better quick and that no one else gets sick (especially me).  This week I feed the teachers and the same day have vision screening at the middle school.  Trying to find enough volunteers so that I don't have to go but it's not looking so good right now. I also volunteered to help with vision screening at the elementary school on Tues. and insurance adjuster coming out to look at Meg's car. Oh, and hopefully a package from Florida (lol). Then the usual scouts, Rye work, orchestra, tay memory book... all the fun stuff in life.
I forgot to mention that Rye got asked to his highschools Sadies dance (girls choice) the day after we got home.  The girl decorated r car soo cute and asked him.  It was crazy he had to find someone to switch shifts with him (his first day working in two weeks) so he could go.
Welp, time to go take care of my "sickies."  Force amoxicillin down Katie's throat. lol.
Love ya, Ricki
