I reached my goal last night…I think I drank a bottle of champagne all by myself. Thankfully I ate before we came home so I don’t feel too shabby. It was a GREAT time, that’s for sure. I think anytime with Meredith is a good time ;).Why is it when you go out and have tons of fun the next day just draaaags? It doesn’t help that I have a sick kiddo today. Blake woke up with a fever this morning. He was supposed to play in his first tennis tournament today but I had to cancel…boo :(. I’m starting to feel like Dr. De over here. The sickness just won’t end. Thankfully, Blake’s fever was gone by late this afternoon. I think I can put the fear of him having H1N1 behind me, I assume he would have gotten worse as the day went on rather than better.
Scale has had a miraculous recovery too. I thought for sure he was a goner. Even after he finished his meds he still wasn’t looking so hot. But then one day, he was just better. No more force feeding…he’s full of life and eager to eat :). I have to give Marc all the credit (even though he rarely actually fed him or administered the medicine) because if it weren’t for him taking him back to the vet I don’t think Scale would be around today.
Once I saw that Blake was doing better I brought in their pumpkins to carve. I always forget what a chore it actually is…and I have to do THREE. None of my kids like sticking their hands into the goo and digging out the seeds. After three, my arms were tired and I felt like one big pumpkin mess. Jazz was intrigued though, she kept trying to eat the seeds. 
And that doesn’t even include the actual carving. They always want these “fancy” pumpkins where I have to trace a pattern and then carve out the pieces ever so carefully. I let the boys help me a little bit with theirs. It’s a catch 22 though…if I don’t let them help enough they are disappointed BUT if I let them help with the difficult parts and they mess up they are completely devastated and there is no turning back :(. Blake did surprisingly well…I think he’ll be ready carve his by himself next year.
With today being so busy, it wasn’t surprising that Marc and I forgot it was our anniversary…oops. Six years!!! I just happened to see the date on my computer later this evening. I don’t get too wrapped up in that type of stuff…I’m not really an anniversary type of girl. I was even relieved that Marc forgot too…I hate it when he gets me a card and I forget. I just feel that our birthdays (September and November) and Christmas are stressful enough. I also think that we spend enough good quality time together that we don’t have to celebrate a “certain” date. BUT…he BETTER make my birthday special…I AM a birthday type of girl ;).
