Mark has shingles which the doctor says will leave him sick and exhausted for up to another 4 weeks or so, but no way to know exactly. He's also picked up another viral infection and as his immune system is weakened it's hitting him harder than it normally might. Julianna came down with lice as her teacher is an idiot that has class hats for the kids to take turns wearing. The first two weeks of December have been consumed with Sunday School program practice and program (the program I did enjoy), 4 shows of the Nutcracker for Julianna plus a five hour dress rehearsal and Mark being sick. Why yes, I am a little grumpy about it all. <br /><br />Rebekah comes home Saturday, hoping we can capture some of our holiday spirit then.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-46838219226976080442012-12-10T22:30:25.637-06:002012-12-10T22:30:25.637-06:00Look at you, SO handy!

I've set aside this Saturday for putting up the tree, filling it with the decorations, candles in the windows, stockings on the mantel, all the other doo-dads scattered around the house, the dining room table bedecked in red and gold, etc., etc.<br /><br />I'm sure I'll blow my own fuse sometime this weekend, but it will be worth it. It always is.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
