It was a long weekend in every sense of the word at our house this weekend. It started out , as most weekends do, with my intending to clean house and maybe get Noel moved into his room. As it stands right now, Noel's room is an office with a crib in it. That is one of the by products of not having nine months of planning.
Because it was a long weekend and I was exhausted, I didn't do much on Friday evening. The weatherman called for snow beginning after midnight, but Saturday started out snow free and uneventful. I set out to sanitize my kitchen which had taken quite the hit from the mid-week snow day we had already had. By late morning however, we had two sets of visitors and the snow was pouring down. Mary Beth and Ella dropped by for a quick exchange of goods and were off to Dahlonega to see Kappa Delta's recruitment practice. Then Chris' uncle, Micheal came in from Augusta with two of his five girls, Ruthie and Lucia. They were debating spending the night in the mountains, but the forecast of freezing temperatures for that night and the next day sent them packing.
They did get to play in the snow before they left though which was such a blessing since Chase got to play with them. They had such a good time and were so fun to watch I almost forgot that my kitchen had been clean at one point that morning. Oh well, the photographers from Better Homes and Gardens didn't stop by so what does it really matter. Once again, Noel missed out on fun in the snow. I really wanted to take him out for at least a picture, but he was sound asleep.
By that afternoon, I felt horrible. My nose was running like a river and it was just bad. Noel's little nose was all stopped up too. Sunday found us not much better. We ventured out to church and the drugstore, but that was it. Chase was the only family member that felt good and he was cooped up inside all day. For those who don't know, this makes 6 yr. olds hard on the nerves of tired, sick people. The great news to report from this day is that Noel did sleep for a 5 hr. stretch Sunday night from 1am to 6am. Have we turned a corner? Maybe but maybe not, on Monday poor little Noel felt horrible. His little nose was so stuffy and he just wanted to be held. He got gas everytime he ate b/c he couldn't breathe through his little nose. I hope this blog doesn't sound like a pity party. Just trying to give an accurate account of our nice, long weekend! New pictures soon I promise.
