Whew, this has been a non-stop week. BUT, it's been a great week. The visit was really nice. Everyone had fun and we had family pictures taken. Everyone looked great.
Unfortunately, bothof the little ones have ear infections which leads to much coughing and unhappiness for everyone.They will both be seeing the doctor this next week.
Mason so has me trained. And Yes, I admit, he is spoiled. However, Daddy has to come to terms with him over the next few weeks. Mason seems to have lost some weight so right now I am more concerned about him getting back on track. Yes, I worry a lot.
Back to work tomorrow after way too much time off. I have a lot to do and a little time to do it in. I really should be more careful about what I say, becuase it has added imensely to my work load. However, it's nothing I can't handle.
Derek got all A's this last term, which is great. He was a little worried about one or two of his classes, but everything has worked out. I am hoping for an A, though there is no telling. A B is not a bad grade.
We got family pictures a few days ago so I am going to try to post them on yahoo. Just follow the links to your right.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Our Holiday
As Always, there will be too much food, however, this year will be light on the people/ That's ok though, it will be a cozy holiday for all.
Michelle and Brittney arrived safe and sound on Monday though they got in an hour and a half early. Shocked me. They are leaving an hour and a half later than originally planned also. That gived us all more time together.
We get family pictures tonight. I hope they come out well. THey are going to be interesting since we are going to wear oriental outfits, at least all of the women are.
As always, we are busy. We hope everyone has a beautiful and safe Thanksgiving!

The leave has ended
Sadly the last week has flown by. I got almost nothing accomplsihed, and today I have to go back to work. I guess Derek will have to make sure the house gets cleaned up. I am not holding ym breath though.
Mom made it home safe and sound last night. I think everyone was happy to have her back. The girls will miss sleeping in her room though.
Mason is not having a great morning so far. He spit up during the night, and was crying a short time ago. I am eating breakfast so I decided to let Derek deal with it. Mason has an ear infection in both ears, probably brought on by the nasal drainage from his allergies. This also led to his eyes gumming up which is why we went to the doctor in the first place. Mason does not like taking his medicine, at all, so that's an adventure in and of itself.
Derek finished finals and from the sound of it, he passed. Of course, the three or four days leading up to it weren't fun, for any of us. He now has a month and a half or so off to catch up on the stuff around the house that he let slack off during this last quarter. I don't know why but the fall quarter seems to be a problem for him.
Mercedes is doing ok, though I think she was tired last night. She was being very difficult so she went to bed early. Her allergies are really rough on her and have her coughing half the night without cough syrup. We will be so glad to get out of here. Hopefully the allergies will go away once we leave this area.

On leave
And loving it, except for having to be up before 0500 this morning to take Mom to the airport . Mason had his 6 month well baby checkup after that, so it's been busy.
When we got home Mason and I tried to lay down and take a nap, but people kept calling or coming over. Sigh! I am so tired.
I am on leave until next week and I intend to use this time to catch up on rest and clean the house. I am not suer I will get either one done. Currently, Mason is trying eat my shirt. I am not looking forward to tonight when he's fussy because of the shots. He can be so utterly charming, but boy is he a bear when he's not feeling good.

11/6/05
I thought it was over, but this last week was even busier than the previous 6 weeks had been. On Monday we had Halloween, which was not great with Mercedes feeling bad. On Tuesday we made up the class (martial arts) the girls missed on Monday, and ended up staying to watch Derek's class. On wednesday, it was Derek's birthday and he and I had an appt that went until after 5. After that we went out to eat for his birthday. By the way, he got a snow thrower/blower. On Thursday we had gymnastics, and after we got home we went to the store to find the stuff for ALexis dress. On Friday we had a birthday party to go to. On Saturday there were swimming lessons, hair cuts, and another birthday party. When we got home from the birthday party last night, Derek was needing help with his paper, so Mom and I were up with him working on his paper. I am completely beat, but Mason was up bright and early this morning, as usual.
As far as Derek's paper, well, we aren't sure the system let him submit it in time. Derek waited until the last minute and so it was not s good as it could have been. I ended up finishing it an hour and a half before it was due. I seriously hope the instructor still takes it.
Everyone seems to be sick right now. I am not sure if it is a cold or allergies or a combination of both. I know I am coming down with something, but I think it's becuase I am so exhausted and not getting enough rest. 'Cedes has been having coughing fits, and 'Lexi is starting to cough and is obviously feeling yucky. Mom is ok so far. I hope she stays that way, I really do not want her sick again anytime soon. Mason's cold is really an issue as he sounds terrible and coughs a lot.
I am doing ok with school and work. I just got a boatload of work piled on, but I am good with that. I like being busy. As far as school goes, I passed the test and I didn't have the lowest score, though it was close. I am wiating for guidance form the teacher as to how I did on the paper I handed in last week. He said he would be more flexible on the grading since I handed it in early, so I hope it's good. I should find out on Tuesday.
Mom leaves Tuesday morning, bright an early for her trip. I am glad she gets to go. She needs a vacation. I imagine she will have a great time gossiping with her friends and hanging out. I already sent her care and feeding instructions ahead, so they are ready for her. I will be on leave the entire time she is gone so I hope I can get caught up on things around the house. It looks absolutely awful. We really need to prioritize and get our life under control.
We made the decision this last week to visit family for Christmas. Boy, that's going to be a long trip. Between 3, 000 and 5,000 miles. I just hope there are no issues while we are visiting. I hate confrontation and turmoil.
