Random Things

We had a bit of a rough weekend at our house. I will spare the details, but let me just say that the entire family got hit with a stomach virus. It hit us fast and hit us hard. Within an hour of Kasey getting sick, Katie got sick. Less than 2 hours later I got sick. A few hours later, Brian got sick. It was not good. But, it left quickly and we are back in business :-)

It's amazing to me how quickly the kids bounced back. By 7am Sunday (a mere 4 hours after the last time they both got sick) they were up running around and acting crazy! But soon after were asleep in their beds. It took a toll on them. Thankfully I was able to keep them hydrated. Brian and I both took Monday off of work to recooperate. I slept a lot and felt like I was playing hookie from work. Brian assures me that I needed the rest.

Today was a day of con calls. I was on the phone from 8am - 4pm. I was able to take a 17 minute lunch break to feed Kasey some Cheerios and a banana. I had a piece of toast. I was slammed with projects this afternoon and was finally able to log off work at 7pm. LONG day!

It will get less hectic as I give up my responsibilities on the web team and focus on my new position.

I am possibly going to be traveling to Colorado Springs next week! Woo! Tentative plan is Sunday through Wednesday. It should be a good time. I will get to meet some new folks on the team and sit down with those taking on my responsbilities for some hard core training. I just hope it is able to work out with Brian's new schedule. He is supposed to be starting a 2pm - 11pm shift next week and I have called numerous care providers to see if they can watch the kids during that shift. No such luck. I will miss the kids terribly! It will be my first time away from them EVER! The only time I have been away from Katie at night was when I was in the hospital after having Kasey. And that was only for 2 nights. And she came to visit me. I am sure that since she will have pre-school and day care, she should be all set!
