Well, my candy making day went awesome on Saturday. I was able to finish all the candy in one day (yippie!) but I couldn’t put it all in the bags because the craft store didn’t have enough bags. Blah! Can you believe that? Yeah… well, maybe if I had purchased them earlier in the year when gift bags were less of a hot item.. Haha! But I did go online and order them in bulk as soon as I got home so they are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so then I can get them all packaged up.
In other news……. we’re having some issues with Chloe and not feeling well. She is having stomach pain but no other symptoms. We’ve taken her to make sure it’s not strep, but the quick test came back negative… She says it feels like she need to throw up but then about 15 min later she’s fine again. And, even though she’s complained of it for quite a few days now, she’s never actually thrown up. And she doesn’t have a fever or anything else. It’s very strange. So, we’re keeping an eye on her and if it continues we’ll take her in to the doctor. If you think of it, say a little prayer for her. And for me and my patience. After hearing her say she feels bad but then pops right back again it’s a little like the story of “crying wolf.”
In other, other news…… it’s recital week! That means all my free time is spent getting programs ready and punch stuff purchased and making sure everyone clear where and when the recital is. Oh, and of course, making sure their songs sound good!
And finally….. it’s raining today. All of our snow is gone. That bums me out. I really like a white Christmas.
Oh, please believe her. I had the same thing when I was about that age. My mom thought it was maybe because I didn’t like art class, because it seemed to always happen on Tuesdays. But my stomach actually felt like I was going to throw up and I was genuinely afraid to go on the bus and get sick. It wasn’t like it only hurt a little. But, I”ll admit, it did go away pretty quickly once I didn’t have to go to school. But I wasn’t making it up and I’m glad my mom believed me.
Maybe look at tension or anxiety she may be just keeping inside because she thinks you will be disappointed in her if she admits she is worried about something silly. We’ve always told her how talented and smart she is and that can put a lot of pressure on a kid to perform well all the time. She is talented and smart, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t worry about not doing well. We “talented” people worry more that the average person because we know everyone has these high expectations of us.
And she may have just inherited my weak stomach. Others get ear aches or hives or strep throat. I always got a stomach ache.
We are supposed to get snow tomorrow, I think. Still plenty of time for a White Christmas. Meanwhile, all that awful ice is gone! We’ve had fog for 7 straight days. All day long. It is like perpetual night.
Don’t forget the key! 😉
