Cami came home early from school on Friday with a sore throat and a fever. When we took her to the doctor on Saturday, the results were just what we thought -- strep throat. We've been lucky this year in that both girls haven't been sick at all -- and there have been lots of yuckies going around. So now Cami has some nasty-tasting bubblegum flavor medicine that she hates to take but does with minimal fussing. This will get harder the better she feels, I know, but we're just happy to have gone through one night with very little fever to deal with. She was quite the sick girlie on Friday and Saturday night.
Aside from that, I spent some time working on a new class for {we are} storytellers and getting ready for a special I'll be running on Wednesday. I'm considering a CT call as well -- I just have to get myself organized enough to get this all together. That's my biggest problem -- when it's just me, then all of my last-minute work habits are okay to deal with, but when other people get involved, then I start feeling bad.
I can't believe the end of the month has snuck up on my like this either. I didn't do so well at all with my March goals. This ended up being such a busy month -- Cass had soccer or track every single day after school, and my three classes got super-busy. So my March goals suffered -- the emergency kits still aren't completed; instead of the jacket, I worked on embroidering linen napkins; Chris and I set up a quasi-workout routine (more on that later this week -- I do have some links I want to share with you); and Chris's scarf is only about three inches long. I did get a number of books read this month -- I have quite a stack in the closet now to take to McKay's on my next visit (hopefully during the end of April, when I go down for the flea market at the Nashville fairgrounds). The only one I can really recommend with any real feeling is The Likeness by Tana French. All the rest were mostly so-so in my opinion.
I've gone ahead and posted my April list -- it's longer than I'll get to, but those are the books on my nightstand that I'd picking from this month, so stay posted to see which ones I end up reading through the month and which ones get postponed a bit longer. I like having a good bit of choice in the matter.
Oh -- and I did a little blog overhaul. Thought it was time for a new look. What do you think?
