Illness, MN, & Gifts - oh my!
Illness - Jerred is sick. like miserably sick. He had a cold last weekend, flew to Maine Mon-Wed, seemed ok Thurs & Fri, but yesterday & today he's getting worse. So he's sleeping right now and is headed to the doctor tomorrow. :-( At least hopefully he'll get on meds and feel better for Christmas in RI.
MN - So in a strange turn of events, we are actually able to go to MN in January absolutely free! I'm excited that we'll have Jerred's entire immediate family together for the first time since his sister's wedding in 2009! All kids, spouses, etc. - no one traveling, no one missing. I'm exhausted thinking about the travel and a week at my ILs, but it will be nice. I don't have any grandparents left so being able to do this for Jerred's grandmother means a lot to me. I will be asking for patience vibes before I leave though ;-)
Gifts - so our broke a$$es are making all homemade presents for everyone this year. The only problem is I have to make them all - and alone now that Jerred is sick. I was hoping he could assemble food gifts this weekend while I crochet, but he's so sick he's not good for much beyond holding Maddy while they both nap. So now I have 7 pairs of fingerless gloves and 1 scarf to crochet before Friday. Food gifts I'll finish today. Then I have to finish 4 more sets of gloves and 2 more scarves for our trip to MN. And a not-sleeping infant again all of a sudden so this should be an interesting week!

Re: Illness, MN, & Gifts - oh my!
my head kind of spun reading all that!
I've been making sure there's been a craft mention in your FB updates.. when I don't see one, I'll yell to get back to crafting.
Sorry J's sick. Khris is now coming down with something and he coughed like almost in my face when we passed for the work coming/going. I punched him (literally) and said if he gets me sick AGAIN I will kill him.
Yay? for MN visit! Specially at that price
i can barely manage the minimal stuff i'm doing for the holidays, i have no idea how you're doing all those crafts plus dealing with a sick husband and the kids on your own!
and god love you for spending an entire week with your ILs! i honestly couldn't spend a full week with my own family and there's no way in hell i'd survive a week with my ILs. i'm already dreading dinner with my SILs and it's one night. i will send you all the patience vibes you need that week!
Thanks ladies! I am just so overwhelmed right now - I'm running on adrenaline at this point! Hopefully jerred will get drugs tomorrow and feel better in a few days.
I'm excited for Jerred's family to see the kids. Not excited to have 4 of us potentially sleeping in one room for a week. No clue how that will work.... esp since M is still in CIO phase and that will definitely keep Ben up.... I will go insane after a week but I will survive. I may have to drink heavily, but I will survive.
