It seems as though influenza is big around here right now. Apparently it is a different strain than was virulent earlier in the year, and the vaccine doesn't help. I always become panicked about things like this because Thomas can have serious trouble with respiratory diseases. Honestly, I really just want to lock ourselves in the house for the weekend, hug my kids, and just spend out weekend together. That is not our reality though.
Right after school, Catherine and I are heading to do our weekly grocery shopping. We will be home in time for her to participate in a dodge ball tournament this evening followed by a sock hop, and Thomas will also be going along. Andrew has an away baseball scrimmage.
Tomorrow Catherine has to work at 9, and Andrew will drop Thomas off at school for set construction at 9 before heading to a meeting himself. Andrew will then have practice sometime tomorrow afternoon (Saturday times always seem to be fluid), and will bring Thomas home at 5. Catherine gets off work at 4. My plan is to have some potato soup in the crock pot, and hang out and watch a movie or play some games.
Sunday we will have church, and late that afternoon we will all go to Cincinnati to celebrate our family by eating at our favorite restaurant. I am so excited about this! We've been waiting months to try to find the opportunity, and then we had to reschedule from two weeks ago.
I know there is a decent amount of family time in this weekend, and I feel selfish for wanting more. I'm just so emotional today, and I know that is affecting how I think. I also know that my fear and anxiety are higher than they usually are, and I need to find a way to work on getting those back under control. My life is very blessed, and I just need to get a grip on my emotions!
