Snowed In Wednesday

So I ask for snow, get snow, and then the company that plows doesn't show until after noon. The snow is pretty and I am glad we will have a white Christmas.

The wind blew so much that the snow was up to the window on one side of the car and up to the door on the other. I shoveled around the car to get out in the morning, but couldn't make it down the rest of the drive. They didn't plow the street very early either. Half the neighborhood was stuck either in their drive or the street.

It was nice to see Christina for extra time in the morning. I went out to shovel more and try to get the car further out several times. Mother nature found amusement in filling everything in with blowing snow.

After work Christina and I had supper and played and walked and sang. We argued about sitting in the high chair again. Angela went shopping and did homework.

I ran out of weather checking sticks, called Angela with no answer, sent a text with no reply. So I called the neighbor to watch Christina(she was sleeping) while I ran to the store. Angela came home in the mean time and freaked out 'cuz the car was gone. She walked in and saw Ed and was a little relieved. I came home just seconds after her. It took quite awhile for Angela to calm down.

Christina is down for her quiet time today, no lunch again. she threw a fit. Time to check the weather.

We finally got some snow. It isn't enough, but a start.

Christina was up early again today, 05:00 is better than 4. I was still sleepy, but she dealt with it pretty well. We compromised, I took coffee sip breaks and she got to walk laps up and down the hall.

Angela had an appointment today and I came to play with Christina. It was nice to see them over lunch. I wish there was something I could do to help Angela's leg. Might have to focus on healing tonight. If I can keep my head clear, still have the cold.

I went to the mall after work today to get a coat Angela found for herself for Christmas. I took a picture and sent it to her to be sure I had the right one. I didn't get a coat tonight, ideas are welcome.

Then to the gym after the mall. It was nice to go. It felt good and then when I got home Christina was upset with me. She gave me a hug, but she was a mommy's girl.

Hoping Christina sleeps until at least 08:00. Angela and I both need the sleep. That way I can at least sleep until the alarm goes off at 06:00.

Monday and still sick

Another day of feeling like crap. I am ready for this cold to go away.

Christina woke up early this morning. She started stirring and talking about 03:30, I tried to hold off until 04:00. I went in to get her and she was all smiles and ready to play.

I opted to try the mellow play like reading and talking about her dreams. That lasted a little while then it was laps up and down the hall

Christina had a good day at school. She did throw up from mucus build up, but it did not seem to slow her down at all.

We heard back from Children's for Christina's next round of Phenol and Botox, early January is the appointment.

Angela's leg is doing crazy stuff again, I don't get it. I feel so bad for her and I can only imagine how much it hurts. Another doc appointment for her tomorrow.

Angela is doing homework at the coffee shop tonight and then running errands. She is going to try to pick up that coat she told me about.

Dishes are done, coffee is ready for tomorrow, time relax a bit before bed. It is going to be an early night for me.

It was a pretty typical Sunday. Christina was up before anyone else wanted to be up. This cold is still kicking my butt.

Breakfast did not go well for Christina and I. I made eggs this morning and she would not sit in her high chair for me. So after a couple of time outs, breakfast was done.

I went for coffee with Donny, stopped at the station to have the car checked, always something isn't it. Then I tried to get a coat Angela said she would like for Christmas. They were out of the color she wanted, go figure. Gonna have to try for more ideas. She found another coat at the mall. I wasn't keen on heading there. She said she will probably go get it tomorrow.

Angela and Christina went shopping with grandma Patti. Grandma had great ideas for toys. And I think she is working on spoiling Christina.

Yesterday I guessed right, Angela made it home about bar close. I saw her for a half hour yesterday, not sure what to think of that.

Please excuse the colors, I am working on changing it a bit and it has been so long I don't remember where all the settings are.

Another Saturday and busy. Christina did not sleep well last night. I managed to get her back down before too long. We bumped heads at breakfast and she did not eat.

We left the house early today and headed to the store, well before mommy left. After picking up a few things we went swimming. Christina and I had fun splashing and kicking. She got cold and we called it quits. Christina is getting sick, I would not be surprised if tomorrow she has a runny nose and cough.

Once we got home surprise she was tired and lunch went quick. Of course, Christina did not nap. I got her after an hour and we played. We did a lot of walking. The gait trainer led to a couple of time outs and an end to play time and we made supper. Christina and I also baked cookies. We were doing stretches and I left them in too long so they are a little crispy. At least they are not burnt.

I'm still sick so it is off to bed for me. Angela went out last night and came home drunk. She was goofy and trying to be annoying. I was up with Christina when she came home. Thank you Angela for being quiet. Angela had the munchies(surprise) and I was not able to fall asleep until sometime in the wee hours of the morning. At least she told me she was being annoying on purpose.

Angela did homework today at the coffee shop and tonight she is baby sitting her cousins. I don't expect her early. I am going to catch some zzzs before Angela gets home.

If you have not noticed, I changed the image at the top. I should do that more often. I also added a 'share' link to add the site to the usual social sites.
