Mid-Winter Break

Ron, Anna and I have this week off for Mid-Winter Break. Although Ronnie still has to go into work each day for practice, its nice having him home the rest of the time. Unfortunately, Friday evening, Anna came down with a cold and within 24 hours, had what we thought was pink-eye and pain in her ears. I took her to the drs and they said it is a bug going around that causes eye goopies (and an excessive amount!) as well as ear infections -and bam! she had one. I'm pleased she made it to three and a half years old never having one before! She's a great patient and handles not feeling well nicely but boy, let me tell you, she DOES NOT like getting her eyedrops. Ronnie and I have to pin her down, kicking and screaming -which honestly is not in her nature. She is doing better now though and sleeping peacefully as I write this.

Chloe is doing well too. I weaned her off of meds yesterday and so far, she seems to be pain free. Praise God! She's handling crate rest so much better than last time -minimal whining and crying. She's happy if she's near the sliding glass door so she can keep an eye on her turf!

We're steadily approaching the time of year I like least of all -Spring. Don't get me wrong, I love warm spring days but I can't stand the damp, cold ones where the ground is wet and muddy and seems to find its way in my house each day! I also have the hardest time figuring out what to wear -I'm always cold unless I'm hot so I really struggle with three quarter length shirts and light pants on a fifty degree day with no sun. I'd rather just skip straight to summer.
