Ahhhhhhhhh...two more weeks! Two more weeks and I'm FREEEEEE! Well, for about a month...and then it will be 1,000,000 times worse than this semester...but it's the journey...not the destination....RIGHT? Please...SOMEONE tell me I'm right!!!!! (and not you, Stacy S.! I don't want to hear your answer! lol!) Still...I will enjoy this month off...with the Christmas season and with my kids and family. I'll try to make it better than ever, since they won't see their mother until the summer (and that's only if I get the summer off! lol!) :) This week I will be getting the last round of immunizations (my doctor had NO SHOTS on file AND my records also indicated I'd had rubella before! Really? Would've been nice to know that! Of course...my records also stated that I had my tonsils out in April of 2003....when I was pregnant. Plus...I still have my tonsils! What kind of whack job is running my doctor's office????? They MAY need someone in there to "re-organize" or something! Well, at least I know I DEFINITELY have had all immunizations, no TB and my drug screening came back clean! Whew...that was a close one! lol! Kidding!

So, now I'm just PRAYING that the kids can get through this winter HEALTHY. Is that asking a lot? I mean, I know I have a child with a chronic disease that likes to pick up any and all viruses and bacteria his poor little body can find...but...I'm still praying for it. Truth be told, Kenzie had many more illnesses last year than Ethan. Might have been b/c it was her first year in school all day long. I need to remember that when Ethan goes into first grade (I've heard this theory before, too!). We ended up cancelling our New Year's Disney trip...for several reasons. #1- when I had this GREAT IDEA...I didn't know that it was everyone else's great idea as well. New Year's week is THE busiest week of the year. Had NO IDEA. #2- With school starting on the 12th, I would just like to spend those days relaxing, not waiting in line for a Dumbo ride for 2 hours. Plus, I want to make sure EVERYTHING is ready for school. #3- germs, germs, germs. #4- I have worried obsessively that Ethan would be sick around then (or we would get snowed in), and it would break my heart to have to cancel RIGHT before we leave b/c of that...and have him think it was his fault (same with Kenzie). And I would hate for the one sibling to put blame on the other...which is what siblings do (no matter how much they love eachother). So...as MUCH as I was completely looking forward to spending New Year's Eve in WDW, we will spend it at home. We will hopefully reschedule for the early summer...crossing my fingers.

Prayers going out to some of my friends' kids (w/ CF). They are sick today and that's just never a good thing w/ CF. Just miserable :(

Until next time....
