Christmas 2007

Ok.  So here’s the story.  I’m sick.  Again.  Oh wait.  You never heard about the first time.  Maybe I should make a list.

1. Thursday, Dec. 20:  Visit evil Santa at mall.  Jack freaks out.  I feel “funny” that night.
2. Friday, Dec. 21:  Visit doctor for regular thyroid checkup (I have hypothyroidism) with Jack.  Genius idea, I know.  I definitely have the beginnings of a cold.  Doctor says, “No flu shot for you!”
3. Saturday, Dec. 22:  E’s first day off for the next week.  I am in full-on-head-cold mode.  Sick and in bed.  Thank goodness E is off work.
4. Monday, Dec. 24:  All better!  Make cookies!  Pack for our trip to MI!  Put out Christmas presents for in-laws!  Make appetisers etc. for Christmas Eve get-together with E’s parents!  Party-time!  Excellent!
5. Tuesday, Dec. 25:  Feeling 100%.  Fun fun fun Christmas morning.  E makes his perfect pancakes and Jack drinks syrup because it’s Christmas, by golly!  Christmas party that night with E’s parents, bro & sis-in-law & her parents.
6. Wednesday, Dec. 26:  Fly to MI.  Awesome.  Jack is evil demon child and throws many a fit.  E and I are purple we are so embarrassed at one point and then I have fire coming out of my nose at one point and finally we are both laughing hysterically at his ludicrously-ridiculous behavior.  No one else is laughing.  Party with my Mom, her hubs (Phil) and his kids (and their families) that night.
7. Thursday, Dec. 27:  Hang out with Toots!
8. Friday, Dec. 28:  Christmas with Mom, Phil, my brothers and my older brother’s family.  Woo Hoo!  Superfun!
9. Saturday, Dec. 29:  Christmas with my Dad and my older brother and his family.  Woo Hoo!  Jack is scared of my Dad.  Yikes!  But eventually he shares Ralphie with him… the ultimate sacrifice for my child.  He must really love him a lot.  Just totally scared of his mustache, I’m sure.
10. Sunday, Dec. 30:  Camryn, my niece, is very sick with a fever when we leave.  PLG.  She was so sweet. Fly home. Boo Hoo. Very sad.
11. Monday, Dec. 31:  Uh, oh.  I’m not feeling well.  Consider going to the gym.  Naw.  E is home early from work!  Yeah!  Eat pizza and drink wine!  Do my new fat blasting yoga DVD.  Not a good combination (Pizza, wine, then yoga).  Stay up til 12 watching some random movie on TV.
12. Tuesday, Jan. 1:  Happy New Year!  Think about going to the gym.  Naw.  Very very sore.   And tired.  And my chest feels full of water.
13. Wednesday, Jan. 2:  Sick sick sick.  In bed until noon.  E stays home.  And his mom comes over to watch Jack so he can get work done.  Jack’s little nose runs like a faucet but that doesn’t stop him from getting into trouble and whining like it’s his job.
14. Today.  Feeling a little better.  But I’m not sure because I’m so drugged up that I don’t know my right from my left… oh, wait, I don’t normally know my right from my left.  Jack is coughing up a storm.  Not sure if he’s getting/has this or not.
