This weekend many of the kids' normally scheduled activities returned. We are finding it somewhat less convenient to take the kids back to our old town for scouts since we've sold our house...no built in place to hang out while waiting! It's only the rest of this school year for Catherine though, and then through February of 2015 for Thomas.
The weather was supposed to be down right nasty today. It still isn't going to be pleasant, but not until later tonight. I am grateful, as I had been wanting to return to my hometown for the funeral visitation of Granny. I know her family would've understood if I hadn't been able to get there because of the weather, but I'm grateful it should hold off long enough for me to get there and back.
In the meantime, we are hoping that Andrew can get Thomas a flu shot. I am usually all over this and don't wait this long, but life happened this fall. We are having trouble finding a doctor that will take the kids' insurance, and then when Dad died in the middle of November everything else kind of fell off the radar. However, I am beginning to hear of deaths resulting from the H1N1 strain, and since Thomas doesn't handle respiratory illnesses well the little mini-panic in me is beginning. We think we have a solution and can get him a shot today.
Tomorrow and Tuesday the temps in our area are supposed to be the coldest they have been in 20 years. Andrew has to work tomorrow but no students so we don't have to worry about school tomorrow, but I'm becoming less optimistic about everyone being out of the house on Tuesday. Don't get me wrong, sleeping in is always very nice, but we've just had 2-1/2 weeks off...let's get everyone back to school!
