Sinus Infections Are Tough

I have had a headache for 11 days straight - 3 of them were migraines. Today my headache ended up breaking a blood vessel in my eye. Michelle said a week ago I may have a sinus infection. I blew it off because I have never had a sinus infection. My face wasn't tender when I touched it, I just didn't have the symptoms. I went to work this morning with a migraine and Dr. C. said I may have a sinus infection. At this point I was willing to try anything so we called in the secret potion and I began to take it. Within a couple hours my nose begin to drain and my headache went away. I hate when Michelle is right : ) Anyway I am feeling better but, the potion makes me really tired. I am traveling to Orlando tomorrow for our family Thanksgiving. Meeting a friend from high school for dinner. She found me on classmates , I haven't seen her in 20+ years. Saturday I cook for 20+ people , back to the coast by 5:00 to pick Milo up at the spa and Erica is doing our Christmas pictures on Sunday.

Five and Funny

After work I headed to pick up Skylar. We did a few errands before heading to the park. After the park we went home to see Pappy. Skylar doesn't like anyone intruding on her Gammy and Pappy time. I had a guy coming over to look at building shelves in the family room. He stayed 3 hours and talked the whole time. Milo was even getting grumpy. Skylar said it's late, he should go home. I am so glad he was talking and did not hear her. My mom phoned, Skylar answered the phone and told her we were closed. Skylar and Scott have this thing where they give each other sugar. So when she leaves our house she never forgets to give Pappy sugar. Last night I asked for a kiss good-bye. Skylar hesitated and said OK I'll give you a kiss but, no sugar.. I wondered , what the difference was?

And It's Not Even Thanksgiving Yet

I don't know if it the stores having all their Christmas things out but, this year it seems like there is not enough hours in the day. Blake will not be able to come home for Christmas this year : (
He and Kellie will be spending Thanksgiving with her family in Boston and Christmas in New York . I was able to get the package from Santa in the mail on Thursday along with Blake's tree and decorations.
Friday we had an appointment with Scott's doctor in Orlando only to find out when we got there that the appointment had been canceled. It was left on our answering machine but, we never check our messages. Lesson learned we will have to start confirming our appts. the day before. Scott and I both hate to check our messages.
Saturday and Sunday I got allot of things done but, it seems like I still have allot to do. I was hoping to put up Christmas lights but, ran out of steam. I do have most of my Christmas shopping done and wrapped.

Ashley's Beach Bash

Here ar a few pictures from Ashley's Beach theme Bat Mitzvah from last weekend. She hadn't seen the decorations until she showed up to her party. She was thrilled, she thanked me several times in the span of 20 minutes.

Pick Me Up

Skylar calls every night and ask either Scott or I to pick her up from the sitters. She likes it because we get her around 4:00 and take her for a milkshake or ice cream. If you say I can't because...... she says I knew you were gonna say that. Even if you tell her no - when she hangs up she says OK I'll see you tomorrow & she really thinks that you are going to pick her up.

I Voted

This is the first year my sister voted and she is 38. She was so excited that she showed up to the library for early voting yesterday, that had already ended. She went back today, the line was long, she ran an errand and so dedicated to not wearing a t-shirt that I had threatened her with , she ran back to the library to vote. Way to go Tina.
Because my mother waited to late, she will be wearing a t-shirt that says my grandson is fighting for my freedom and I did not vote "Election 2008"
Scott and I "Voted" I had a small problem at the polls because I signed up as an absentee voter but, then felt bad because Scott had to stand in line. When I showed up to the polls they had to make a phone call to make sure I had not voted yet. This election was so high profiled and debated, that Scott and I choose not to tell who we voted for this year.

Happy Halloween

Blake returned from training in Lousianna to New York on Halloween. What a treat for Kellie. He was excited to be back and said the training camp was set up like Afganastan. The villages had goats running loose, donkey's pulling carts. He said, ou would actually forget you were not in Afganastan.

Skylar was glitter girl . She wanted to be sparkley , cute and she was. She was so excited. Before we left Skylar let me take a few pictures. As you can see from the pictures, she had alot of fun with the camera. She was so excited to trick or treat and said how much she loved Halloween. Every year there is a lady who gives out stuffed animals. This year she gave Skylar a Care Bear that sang Row, Row, Row your boat. Skylar loved it because her Grandmom in Jersey sangs that song to her.
