Feb. 20, 2009 - Symphony Surprise
My mom was able to come with us. We met her at McDonald's in Alton where I got some breakfast for the kids. Callie woke up earlier that morning and mentioned that her tummy didn't feel well but that she was just hungry. Well, 15 min after driving through McDonald's we found out that she wasn't just hungry......she was sick! The kids started yelling those dreaded words..... "Callie's throwing up! Callie's throwing up!" Then the scramble began as well as the "EW! Disgusting! Gross!"
Luckily my mom was with us! We made it the symphony with only 2 sick episodes. I dropped my mom and the kids off and headed for the nearest store to buy ziploc bags and wipes. I found a Walgreens only a few blocks away from the Powell Symphony Hall - and I knew I was in the "Hood" when I saw the 2 Reserved Police Parking spaces in the parking lot. All went well and I got the needed supplies. We headed back to the symphony parking lot to clean up - NOT my favorite thing. At our house Adam is the one to clean up those messes because I usually feel as if I will get sick myself. I just can't take it. Well, here we are in the parking lot with the windows down and I'm holding my breath trying to not get sick myself........ Ah, the joys! We got the job done and luckily Callie was feeling better.
We hung out for about 45 min and the kids were back. The symphony was awesome! The conductor even dressed in his Harry Potter costume. I'm so glad mom was there! We went back to mom's house for some lunch and laundry. Callie was happy to get out of the blanket she was wearing and back into her clean, fresh smelling clothes.

I love my knives...since all of my stuff is old and wearing out I have decided that every payday along with my groceries I am replacing or replenishing a little at a time. It is working out quite well and it is so fun to play with new things. It takes the boringness out of the same old same old.
It was so good to hear from you. I am sorry your little one was sick but I am glad you were able to go to the symphony. Hopefully...you did plant those seeds.
Have a great weekend,
Joyce

Yep, I got sick too when I even think I smell it. But you gotta do what needs to be done in times like that.

So good to hear back from you. It's hard to come back to blogging after such a long time away. I do hope you'll come back -- we both can lend one another ideas. :))
When do you all begin your learning year?

We actually started our learning year on paper, two weeks ago, as i coutned our SD trip, but we started some more structured learning this past week. Going well. Going to include music appreciation this year......looking forward to it.
We'll the family is wanting to head outdoors, so I suppose I ought to run.......we'll talk to you this week, I'm sure. Hopefully you have some blogging posts up your sleeve. Maybe your canning stuff, I'd love to see what you do and how it all works.
