What a holiday season

Uh, can't wait until Saturday is over... for most retail businesses the rush is before Christmas, for Optical its the week between Christmas and New Years, as people realize that they have XX flex dollars to spend before Jan 31st or they'll lose it, or their benefits change to after jan 1 and they want to get an exam or glasses on then current plan.. I'm so tired, I've worked 10 hr days since Tuesday, and tomorrow and Saturday look just as bad, plus we have year end inventory to do after we close on Saturday...



and on top of that, I'm still not 100 percent over my flu and junk from last week....



Christmas actually went really well, with the exception of Aaron being sick on Christmas day... everyone had a good time and the family gatherings all were pleasant and unstrained... It was nice to see my Sister who lives in Texas, and her adorable teacup chihuahua.



ok gonna go crash now.. later

double Uck!

well, as of tuesday night its been my turn, high fever, hacking cough, it really sucks...I think my wife would tell you that worse than staying home with two sick kids is staying home with one sick kid and one sick husband.. I'm sure I've been a bigger pain than the kids have been.... Today is my second day off of work... hopefully my fever will break and I'll be able to work tomorrow, specially since this is one of our busiest times of the year.... Lily is home with me today, she probably could have gone to the sitters, but she still had a slight fever... so why take a chance...

UCK!

Well, not much less exciting than staying at home with 2! sick kids, Aaron is starting to feel enough better that he's getting bored, and starting to be a little obnoxious. He's definetly going to school tomorrow! Lily doesn't seem to be as Sick as Aaron got, but she "needs" a lot of attention. Hopefully both will be well enough tomorrow so they can both go to school and daycare. Neither has taken a bath today, so we have that wonderful sick kid smell in the house.



I learned something this weekend. Having 2 company Christmas parties AND out Church Christmas program, wears me out... we had a great time at both parties, but by Sunday we literally got up went to church, ate lunch came home slept, got back up went to the Church Christmas Program, came home and went to bed...we were wiped and so were the kids, cause we all know that when babysitters, or Grandma and Grandpa watch you, they never get to bed early either.



ok gotta go tend to kids....

my wife tells me my blog is boring...

So I thought I'd share a fun little bit of the joy of having a 4 yr old in the house. This morning as we are frantically rushing around trying to get ready to go to the sitters.. I try to get her to take her bath quickly... well telling a 4 yr old to rush is impossible so it turns into a 20 minute bath with her sobbing because I'm making her hurry... so then we get done and I tell her to get dressed, she sees the outfit I have picked out and immediately has a problem with it. so we get it straightened out, she gets dressed, its now after 8:00 am the drop off deadline for her to get breakfast at the sitters, we rush to get her coat on, but wait she has to run back up stairs to put her LIPSTICK!!! on.... I'm thinking if she's like this when she's four, what lies ahead for the teenage years?!
