So, I am going on day 2 of being sick. It's just off and on nausea. This really sucks!! I had to will myself to feel better yesterday so I could attend my oldest son's talent show at school. Well, they didn't call it a talent show but a talent revue. No judging or anything. I'll tell ya, that school has some pretty talented kids. Cameron plays the bass drum in the marching band and the drumline did a performance of an original piece that one of the kids wrote. The kept the stage dark and were all wearing those china doll masks that glow in the dark. The drumsticks were supposed to glow as well but I didn't see that. They did a kick ass job!!
So, here I am sick again today and Brad stayed home with me. I don't truly believe that he is sick also but I didn't have the strength to argue with him this morning. I'm just sad that he will miss the Easter Egg Hunt at school today. Hopefully, we will get to do one of our own.
I sure hope I am feeling better to be able to take Brad to ice skating lessons tomorrow morning. I hope Daddy is up to the task of waking at 7am on Saturday if Mommy is not feeling well. I guess we'll have to wait and see......

The Saga of the Toe and some more stuff
I'll start with the "and some more stuff." My oldest got his report card yesterday and I am so proud. He got A/B honor roll. I honestly don't think he has been on the honor this late in the year since elementary school (and that is not without threats and punishments and incentives). Here's the pessimist in me......I hope he can keep these grades or bring them up for his final report card of the year. He does this a lot where he will bring his grades way up and then will slack off and his right back where he started. In other news, my youngest received an award yesterday at school, the award for Kindness. He is a very sweet boy!!
And, now on to the Saga of the Toe, the Big Toe. My hubby finally went to the podiatrist and got his toe taken care of. He has had ingrown toenails off and on for years. We have been together for 12 years and I can only remember a few years when there was not an issue with his toe. My mother-in-law, his primary doctor, his boss and I have been telling him for so long to get this taken care of. He finally linked his constant state of general malaise to an off and on infection in his toe and told his boss. So, at his boss's request, he made an appt with the podiatrist. He went in for the procedure on Monday and handled it very well (except for the initial needle sticks for the numbing agent). Me, not so much. I stupidly watched the procedure and almost threw up and came so close to passing out I had to pull a chair up next to him and sit down. I still get queasy when I think about what the doctor did. He wishes that I had recorded it!! Yeah, right!! If he had seen it he would have puked AND passed out. Anyway, he is still having some pain but I can see a dramatic change in the swelling already. He plans on starting an exercise regimen once he is fully healed because the toe has really prohibited him from doing any physical activity because of the pain. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
