Neglecting This Blog For More Important Things
I've been busy the last few days and completely neglecting this blog. Neglecting it so that I could do things like puncture my thumb and almost have to go to the hospital for a tetnis shot and stitches (Note to self: Don't try peeling sweet potatoes with a 25-year-old rusted metal vegetable peeler), neglecting it so that I could be sick and in bed almost all day one day and plain "miserable" for the next two days, neglecting it so that I could take care of my sick husband and my sick baby (her very first sickness, kind of traumatic for this first-time mom!). Things like that.
Oh, and while all that was going on, we also travelled to visit our families for five days during which time we celebrated Thanksgiving two times, my sister and I sewed four skirts and an outfit for Kathrynne (I think that was the total amount right Gretchen?) plus cut out some other patterns for me to bring home and sew (hopefully!), baked 16-20 dozen cookies at Jesse's family's house, went to church with our family and got to spend a little time with the Haydens (always a pleasure!), and spent hours talking and catching up with our families (amidst my sniffing and complaining -- did I say I don't like to be sick? I'm not a happy camper when I'm sick. I need to work more on being content and joyful in all things!).
Inspite of my cold (which, gratefully, did not appear until after Thanksgiving day), it was a lovely Thanksgiving break. But, I'm glad to be back home again.
And, did you hear the news? Only 16 more days and Jesse is finished with this semester! Woohoo! He will only have one more semester of law school left and then passing the Bar. You can't even imagine how anxious he is for the day to come when he doesn't have to wake up and go to school!

Sorry you've been sick! I remember my first time with a sick baby, and it was probably more traumatic for me than him.
I hope you're feeling better now or are at least on the mend.
Whew, Crystal! I can see why you haven't had time to keep up with blogging lately! I keep checking in every day, though, just in case . . . :) Glad to see you were able to post today, and I hope that you and your hubby and baby are on the mend, also. We've been going through a round of colds in our house, also, so I can relate--it's not fun!! Take care and get some rest! :)
Sorry to hear you've been sick! And it's okay to neglect your blog, although I did check in several times :)
Sounds like some fun and busy Thanksgiving holidays. Hope you're all on the mend.
You guys were sick too. My son and husband have bad colds. I have been healthy (knock on wood). Tomorrow I will probably wake up with a sore throat or something. It is very hard not to catch colds from a toddler.

I never thought of a connection between getting cut with a rusty can opener and a tetanus shot! Ouch! My husband got cut peeling potatoes too for Thanksgiving, but the peeler was sharp and newer! It got him good too!
I hate being sick too, I always used to pretned I was not sick because I hated it so much.
