I went back to work on Wednesday, feeling almost 100% (my jaw was still sore, but I could open my mouth completely). By Wednesday afternoon I had another sore throat, (I was so mad!) which eventually developed into a cold. Luckily it’s a pretty mild cold, but still, I’m really over being sick. That bout with strep almost did me in!
I worked really hard over the weekend to get back on track after being sick and out of town. I even took my son to school with me on Saturday to set up all my DÃa de los Muertos decorations, and to set up some new supplies that arrived on Friday. I went to a cafe this morning and wrote the letter that will be going out to parents on Monday about the new formal recommendation process I will be implementing this year. I did a ton of laundry, even though our washing machine is still leaking (it leaks whether I’m using it or not, so might as well – here’s hoping third times a charm with the guy coming to fix it!) I picked up the house, because we have a cleaning person coming on Friday so the house is in good shape for my son’s fifth birthday party (just family) on Sunday. I made copies of the Sees Candy fundraiser fliers and ordered the other materials from them.
Next weekend is crazy so I’m glad I got ahead of a lot of this stuff. I know it will be Halloween before I know it, and I still need to make a replica of this light up sweater from Gravity Falls for my daughter, who is going to be Mabel.
My son is going to be Dipper, my husband is going to be Grunkle Stan, and I’m going to be Wendy. It should be really fun, but since we did Star Wars last year, this year was supposed to be “off” as far as family themed costumes. I am definitely nixing any family themed costume ideas next year!
Any other Gravity Falls fans out there? If you’ve never checked it out, I highly recommend it. It’s on Hulu, and probably Disney Channels because it was their show (it’s been over for about five years now).
WOW!!!! Busy = you.
Congratulations on all you got done … esp with a new cold hitting. AMAZING.
I’m also only doing a family party for my son’s fifth birthday and everyone is giving me a hard time, including my husband who was totally fine with it until a few days ago, but has not offered to plan a party for his friends. I hope I’m doing the right thing! He didn’t seem to love having a huge birthday party for 3 and 4 so I decided to scale back this year. And I talked to him about it and he seemed fine, but now is asking why we are doing just a dinner this year. I’m hoping he will have fun and love his presents enough that he will forget.
