Illness

I apologize for the complete lack of posting lately – Chris, Benjamin, Chris’ parents, and both sets of grandparents, even some of our friends and employees, have all been down with a really nasty flu.  It figures that the year I get a flu shot, I get the flu.  I hardly ever get sick, so to have a fever, infection, and all the other fun things that have come with this flu, including a sick infant, has had me rather stir crazy.  I’m sorry to say we were sick all through Christmas.  Which means I only got us halfway through our Christmas Advent!  Oh well, that leaves me something more to look forward to next Christmas. 

We’ve made plans to have a special Christmastime together when we’re feeling better.  We’ve opened our presents, but we haven’t eaten our traditional holiday yummies that we were looking forward to enjoying, nor played any games, made our visitis, or watched our movies.  No flu is going to keep us down…we missed the day on the calendar, but we’ll still get the day!

I’ve been thinking about the new year that is fast approaching – well, in as much thinking as I’ve really been able to do with such a fuzzy brain.  I like to write a list of goals for the year at the beginning of each year, but I’m taking my time thinking about it this year.  In 2007 I had a baby and we bought a house, two goals we’ve been working toward for some time.  Two huge milestones, achieved in the same year.  What will 2008 hold?  What to I want to read, create, learn, acheive, or teach my son?  Gotta think on that a bit still.  But later…later, when I feel better…
