Icky Sinuses

My portion of the free
yarn.

We had a wonderful weekend with lots of time outside and lots of movies. We also had a quick visit to a friend's house where I shared some of the yarn I'd been gifted for free on Sunday. Nothing major went on.

Monday Noni came out for a visit. We went shopping for some of the winter weather essentials you need in a snowy climate. Peanut got new socks (that's all that she needed). YCJ got new boots, new shoes, and new socks ... her feet went from a size 4 in June to a size 8 now!!! ECJ also got new boots and socks, as well as a new winter coat because his one from last year had ripped so it had been tossed out. We did some window shopping for Christmas, had lunch at McDonald's, and Noni bought each of the campers a tiny Nerf dart gun so that they could have mini battles. It was a fun day! But, Monday night Peanut came in and slept with us because her "throat felt funny".

Tuesday we didn't do lessons because everyone woke up with something wrong with them. Daddy and I both woke up with migraines. Peanut's sinuses had let go to where her voice was froggy, her nose stuffy, and her throat sore. ECJ and YCJ both where a little stuffy as well. It was a simple call to say, "NOPE, no lessons today!" Everyone simply relaxed and took some medicine. We watched movies and played video games. I picked up my prescription for Imetrex and battled my migraine back to a dull roar.



On Wednesday (after another night of Peanut in the bed with Mommy and Daddy) we did some quick lessons just to get back into the swing of things. English and Math were all that were done text book wise and some online learning to round it out a little. Peanut sounded even worse this day but said that she wanted to do some school.

So, on Thursday we all woke up a little late ... we slept in until 10 am! Peanut sounded a little better but her nose was still running like a leaky faucet, here goes the second roll of toilet paper in less than a week used to blow noses. We concentrated on English and Math in our text book and did our online lessons. Nothing very exciting happened because we decided to stay inside and relax so that we'd all feel better (couldn't just make Peanut stay inside especially when she insists that she is NOT sick).

I got a lot of crochet done this week, including a scrap blues baby blanket that I have no one in particular to give it to. Lots of Christmas ornaments  (7!) and work on December decorations for a wreath I intend to make and a table top centerpiece. Friday should look much like Wednesday and Thursday except for the fact that we'll be making a library run sometime during the day. 

It's lovely that we got some work done this week even though we weren't feeling good.

Here's two posts that I wrote this week:
