Saturday (11/25) Everyone slept in today and we had a pretty lazy morning. We got a few things done around the house and then it was time for "the game" - OSU vs Michigan. I jumped in and out of watching it while also working around the house and taking care of the kids so Adrian could watch undisturbed. It turned out to be a pretty good game and thankfully OSU won again! When the game was over, all of the guys headed outside to decorate while I worked in the house. They got all of the outside decorations up and also went on a bike ride since the weather was so nice.
We had more leftovers for dinner and then we were planning on having a movie night where we watched Daniel's choice of Transformers. Unfortunately Redbox didn't have the first movie so we decided to wait on it until we can get it from either the library or the video store. So instead, Adrian and I picked the movie and we watched "Elf" as a family. Everyone loved it! It's been years since I've watched it and I forgot how funny it is. We all laughed a lot and had a great family movie night. When we got the kids in bed, Adrian and I did a bunch of things on our list that required us to chat and figure things out. So we did that while sharing a bottle of wine. We watched a few comedies from our DVR to finish our night and headed to bed.
Sunday (11/26) Started super early with AJ coming up at 4am to wake me up and tell me he was puking. So not the way we wanted to start our Sunday. I got him cleaned up and calmed down & he fell back asleep in my bed so I moved to the spare room and got a few more hours of sleep. He still wasn't feeling well so I was going to stay home from church with him and the others were going to go, until they went outside to find our front tire on our van flat. I don't know what is going on with this van but this is the third flat tire we've had in like 8 months. So Adrian headed out to get that fixed while I dealt with the kids at home and tried to get a few things done.
I spent the afternoon yelling at the TV while watching the Jets lose another game that they should have won. When that misery was over, we finished putting up our Christmas decorations including putting all of the ornaments on the trees and putting up all of our inside decorations. The house is looking very festive! AJ spent the day resting on the couch and seems to be OK. We finished up our to do lists and feel like we're in pretty good shape to leave early Friday morning for vacation. Will see how the rest of this week goes though. We got the boys back on their regular schedule and to bed early for school tomorrow. We watched a few DVR shows to try to empty it as much as we can before we leave and headed to bed early as well.
After we got home, I did what I could to clean up the car but I had to head to Eastpointe to work as the facility rep for a few hours tonight. Adrian help down the fort at home, including cleaning up the car and taking care of the boys. They had a relaxing night and headed to bed early. AJ will be going back to school tomorrow, Zak will be staying home. While I was at work, the stomach bug hit me. I made it thru my shift and practically crawled home and into bed.
Tuesday (11/28) I was awoken in the middle of the night to hear that the stomach bug had also hit Adrian. So now if you're counting, that is everyone except Daniel. Adrian and I spent the day taking turns sleeping upstairs and supervising Zak downstairs. He was feeling fine all day, but we couldn't send him to school since he threw up yesterday. It was a long, rough day but we survived. AJ and Daniel went to school and AJ was also able to go to Cub Scouts thanks to our friend who drove him there and back. I went to bed by like 7:30 in hopes of getting a good night of sleep and waking up feeling better.
Wednesday (11/29) We all felt OK this morning so we decided to go ahead with our day as scheduled. Adrian and I got AJ off to school and then he headed into work. I got Daniel and Zak ready and off to school and then headed off to run a bunch of errands. I got everything done, but it was a slow process with lots of breaks of sitting in my car. My last errand was stopping into Zak's classroom to read them two books for right to read week. The kids were super excited to see me and I enjoyed reading two Pete the Cat books to them.
After I got home, I relaxed a lot on the couch and tried to recover from the day. I got everyone picked up from school and said a prayer of thanks that my dear friend was able to sub my Zumba class for me tonight as I do not have the energy to teach. I did manage to take the boys to mail their letters to Santa tonight. Hopefully when we get home we will have return letters waiting for us! When we got home, we had a quick dinner of leftovers on our quest to continue cleaning out the fridge and then had a relaxing night together. We did a few things to get ready to leave but mostly just relaxed and rested for our last day of work and school tomorrow. Adrian and I watched Survivor together after we got the kids to bed, it was a great double episode!
After that I came home and got started on my massive to do list. I picked AJ up from school since he had a lot of books to bring home to do his school work while we are gone. Then soon after I picked up Daniel and Zak. They had a great day at school with the visiting author and really wanted to go back tonight for family literacy night. Unfortunately we just had too much to do to make it work this year. So we had a quick dinner of more leftovers and then got started on our packing list. The boys were very helpful and we finished quickly. We took a short break in the packing to watch "Charlie Brown Christmas" together as a family before putting the boys to bed. Adrian and I finished up what we could and then watched the Cowboys game. Trying to get to bed early for an early morning tomorrow!!
