I'm missing bible study today because Kristen is still off school. Sue asked why the kids were off - the school calendar says it's for 'staff development', so there ya go. Today is the last day and tomorrow we'll be back to normal. Can't say I'm looking forward to that! I've gotten spoiled this week and slept til 8am every day! Kristen has been getting up at 7 and coming downstairs to watch cartoons!! In some ways I've felt like a neglectful mother, but then part of me says it's only 3 days so just enjoy it. She's at an age where she's totally safe to come downstairs for an hour on her own. And if she wants breakfast she usually will come wake me up!I feel like I've needed the extra sleep what with these allergies! I still can't breath and I can't smell or taste anything. I'm so stuffed up today and Claritin is doing nothing for me. I've gone ahead and re-filled my prescription for Nasonex. I always use Nasonex but I ran out recently and cos I was taking Claritin-D which seemed to help the stuffiness I never got around to ordering more. Big mistake as I am figuring out now. I think it's the Nasonex at this time of year that helps me keep a clear head. My concern at this point though is that I am so stuffed up the Nasonex won't work and I'll have to go to the Dr for a prescription of steroids to give me a 'jump start' so to speak.
I have a Dr appointment on Friday but that is for my repeat pap, so I know I won't be able to do anything about the allergies at that time. I can ask her about it but I know I'll be told I have to make another appointment cos I've been told before that the Dr can't see me a 'sick' appointment and a 'repeat' appointment at the same time. Insurance silliness, no doubt.
It's piano lesson today. We'll leave here at 4pm. Other than that Kristen is just playing next door with Connor again and I'm taking it easy in doors. It turned cold today, a high of only 60 forecast. Might not sound cold to you, but after nearly 80 yesterday it's a big difference to me - my heating's back on!

Hi Denise,
I remember my kids having days off for what they called, Teacher Inservice. It seems like they had a lot of them.
I hope you get to feeling better soon. Praying all goes well at the doctor.
Take care sweetie
~hugs~
Hi sweetie,
I hope you can get your allergy issues sorted, how unpleasant for you. I was surprised to read what you said about your doctor's appointment. Here, if we see the doctor it doesn't matter how many different things we ask about, we just get charged the one fee. The only time that would differ is if all that takes longer than 40 minutes and then we get charged for an extended appointment.
How lovely that you had 3 days to sleep in.
Please look after yourself. Big huggles. xx
Thanks for answering my question, Denise!! Our teachers up here usually only take one "Professional Development" day at a time... or they put them together to get out earlier in June ;-) Nice to have that break in the winter!
I wish I could take those allergies away from you. They are really hampering you aren't they? :-( That so stinks! I won't complain about my little bit of allergies at all anymore.
We are getting that weather that hit down in the South last night... only it's snow for us! It's a winter wonderland out here ;-)
Enjoy your last evening before the schedule gets back to "normal" ;-) Love ya xo
