Adventures in La La Land

Did you miss me last week? I had a killer migraine that completely knocked me off my feet, and I couldn't bring myself to stare at the computer screen. So I have two weeks of wit and wisdom to catch up on! 1. Last week, we ended up having pre-spring break from school. First of all, the Friday before was a snow day. We had Monday and Tuesday scheduled off for mid-winter break. But then Wednesday and Thursday were snow days again, and then our administrator gave us Friday off too, because what's the point of going to school for one day? It was crazy! I wish I would've known ahead of time that we'd have the whole week off. We would've jetted off to Florida to see Justin's parents or something! Instead, we watched a lot of TV, did some puzzles, read some books, and made cookies. Levi also made this cat house for Stella. She really likes it, and lays in it on her own volition all the time! 2. On Monday, we went "ice skating" in the town square. Our town had...

Good news, everyone: we made it halfway through February! Whew! But this week was a doozy . . . 1. Contrary to my assertions last week, the weekend wasn't long enough for Levi to get over his sickness. He came down with a fever Saturday afternoon, and it didn't break until Tuesday night! He literally did not get off the couch for 4 days. He hardly ate, puked anytime he did  eat, and had a wet, phlegmy cough all week. We decided to skip our Superbowl party on Sunday, which ended up being a good choice since I had some major stomach distress that evening. I woke up Monday morning with intense stomach cramps and ended up calling in sick to work, even though I despise  inconveniencing people. I'm not sure if I had exactly what Levi had. I never had a fever, and I never puked. But I had terrible stomach cramps for three days - especially after eating. I ended up losing three pounds because I was eating so little. I spent most of those three days on the couch as well.  Actual f...
