Lily was home sick with a cold and fever Monday and Tuesday. After the school shooting in CT, I was fine with keeping her home with me and Luke. Her class party was on Friday and I volunteered in the classroom. The kids had a good time, as always.
After school, I took her for frozen yogurt as a special treat. Then a bit of window shopping at Marshall's. Luke chose to stay home and requested lemon orzo pasta soup as a treat for him.
Today I woke up feeling like I was coming down with her cold. I just sat around in the living room all day. Charlie did paperwork and customer phone conferences well into the afternoon. Then he and Luke played a bridge building game on the ipad. Lily and I played a few hands of Uno. No one left the house. No running around. No crazed Christmas preparations. It was really nice.
The wind has been howling all day with the occasional snowflake flying by. The forecast says we may wake up to a white Christmas. That would be nice, although we are having Christmas on the 24th since Mom is working the 25th. So I suppose it will be nice, but a day late, for us.
