Well I woke up yesterday with another cold. This is on top of the recent sinus infection I have had. I am starting to wonder if I will ever get healthy again. Poor Ping is sick with a cold too. She is still running around though, so it's not keeping her down.
Yesterday morning, Bill dropped off Sasha to get her teeth cleaned. I hate having to do that to her. The poor thing has been out of the house three times in the last few weeks. She got a hair cut, had a wellness/shot appt. and now her teeth cleaning. She did great though. I hope she feels good. She is young to have tooth issues. I guess it's just one of those things that she is going to have an issue with. Bill raced to get her and then to get home since we had a 5:30 pm teacher conference. We got there and nobody else was there. I knew something was wrong. I guess I had the wrong night. So odd of me to do that, but I did. Good thing the school is less than a mile away. It was just stressful because of getting Sasha and trying to get home on time.
Today my Mom would have been 72 years of age. So very young. My dad died 12 years ago today. God I miss them. Mom will have been gone for 2 years as of this Saturday. Not a fan of November for good reason. I bought a birthday card and went to the cemetary today. I am so grateful to have them close to me. I know that sounds odd, but they are 2 houses away at a beautiful cemetary. I rather they be there than some huge cemetery in another town or state.
I spent an hour napping in my chair while Ping played. I find that I feel better after I have had a little nap, so I am trying to sneak one in while I am sick. For the most part, I don't get to nap because that is when Ping is extra thirsty or needs a toy she can't reach!!!!!! Tonight we had the parent teacher conference. Ping is doing excellent. She is coming along great, her language is great, she is truly doing great. We just need to work on more rhyming skills such as bat and hat or rock and sock. I am so pleased with how she is doing. She does pay attention and she interacts with her friends very well. Miss Dixon did say that at circle time, they tend to have Ping sit on a little round plastic thing that bounces a little. She has so much energy. This helps her pay attention. Ping is a nut. She is always doing something. She has a ton of energy. It is surprising that I am not a 110 lbs!!!! I wonder why she can't sit still and yet the other students can. I do think some of it is that she is an only child. She isn't playing with others all day long and night, so that may make a small difference. She isn't off the walls and not able to pay attention. She can absolutely focus on a task, she is just a bundle of spunk!
Speaking of spunk, she got into my bed and pleaded to stay there. What could I say, the girl has a cold. Just what we all need. We need to be breathing in each others faces!!!!
Well off for now. Hope you enjoy the video. I thought it was cute.

Where is my good heath?
I am still sick. I am not at death's door anymore. I am much better, but I still haven't kicked it out of my system. I will consider myself lucky though. I am much less sick than some friends.
Yesterday was a wonderfully quiet day of errands and staying home. There wasn't a lot to do outside the house. There is always stuff that can be done, but nothing that needed to be done.
Today after Ping got out of school, we came home and waited on our tile man. He finished grouting the tiles we had fixed and then I did some work at the computer and Ping put together three puzzles. At 4:00 pm, Ping and I went to ice skating. Bill met us there. Ping is really coming along, but she is still using mostly one leg and isn't gliding really good yet. See for yourself!
I am heading to bed. I have three angry cats. Sasha is getting her teeth cleaned and so food had to be taken away at 6:00 pm tonight. It's easier to take from all then to take from one of them. So needless to say, they have been staring at me for hours. I can't take it anymore.
Mama Out!!!!

Wednesday to Sunday catch up stuff
I haven't been here because I have truly been really sick and have had zero energy. I don't even remember what I did the last few days.
I know that Bill had Veteran's Day off. He spent most of the day outside trying to clean up the leaves. Ping and I hung out inside. It was so nice out. I couldn't move though. I literally sat on the chair and dozed.
I had plans on Thursday, but I had to cancel because I was still feeling lousy. It was a very long day because Bill had plans that night. I just vegged on my chair.
Friday was a little more productive. I had my tile guy here replacing a few tiles. I got Ping out of school early and we headed to Norwood so that I could see my doctor. She said I had a nasty sinus infection. She couldn't be more right! I drove home, Ping changed and we went off to dancing. She had class at 4:00 pm. I then had to go to CVS. By the time I got home, I was truly a mess. I hadn't eaten all day and I was feeling awful. I crumpled on my chair. After an hour long nap, I felt much better. I was able to actually do a bunch of stuff after that.
Yesterday we had our Dumplings group. That was fantastic. It's always nice seeing great friends and I love seeing the amazing girls. We then went to The Paper Store in Millbury, Michaels and then had dinner. I watched a great Hallmark movie.
Bill took Ping to Sunday School this morning. At 10:10 am, we get a call that Ping is going to be Pastor Elizabeth's prayer buddy. So Bill comes upstairs after he hangs up the phone and tells me that I need to get ready now. I jumped out of bed, but I couldn't do it. I hadn't taken my meds and so I was really sleepy and low energy. I felt awful about not going. I never miss anything of hers. I asked Bill to take the camera and video tape it. When I finally got up, I headed to the movies by myself. I went to see "This Is It." It was phenomenal. Even if you were not a fan of Michael Jackson, I don't know how you couldn't be blown away by this large production. Since I have been home, I have been working at my desk. I needed to check flight information for March. Made out some bills, made a couple of important calls, etc. The stuff that needs to get done. I honestly still feel awful, but I am trying to move as much as I can. This stuff won't get done if I don't get it done!!!!!
Ping has done some funny things these last few days, as usual! Last night as we were getting out of the truck, Ping yelled to Daddy "Get over her right now Daddy." She wanted him to carry her out of the truck and into the house. So demanding. It was just really cute the way she said it. She is four and you would think she was the President of China or something!!!!
Yesterday as we were driving home from our errands, Ping starts singing "Daddy, Mama bought your birthday gift and it's in a big boy that is hidden in the house." She goes on and on. Finally I say to Ping "Ping, quite it or you are going to be in trouble because you aren't suppose to tell Daddy about his gift." What does she say? "Mama, I am not afraid of you!" She sings this entire thing. This wasn't a discussion. It was hilarious. I told her she was going to be afraid of me when I was done with her. She just kept singing "I am not afraidddd of you Mamaaaaa." Wicked child. Mind you, on Friday I let her pick out this ugly ornament for Daddy's upcoming birthday. She wanted to hold it on the way home. She passed out and it fell on the floor. On the way to dance, she wanted to hold it still. I told her when she was done that we should hide it in her dancing bag because Daddy would never look there. The minute we get home from dancing, Ping says "Daddy, look what I have for you????" She rips the tacky ornament out and it breaks in two. I told her she wasn't suppose to tell him, but she just laughed. Do you think when I buy him a real gift for his birthday, she will be with me? Nah!!! She keeps me laughing daily, that is for sure!
My sweet pea is starting to sneeze. That ALWAYS means a cold is coming on. The last could never really left though. What the heck is going on????

Vet fun
Last night we took Sasha and Neesha for their annual check up and shots. I really detest having to do that. I know it needs to be done, but I hate seeing them in such turmoil over the entire situation. Sasha needs to have her teeth cleaned again, but looks great. Neesha lost 1/2 lb. That worried me, but I was assured that she looked great. Neesha is a little over 9 lbs and Sasha is a little over 13 lbs and that is without fur! We didn't take Sophie because she has the mobile vet. She had her appointment two months ago.
We were at this appointment for two hours. I am never there that long. What made things worse is that it was extremely hot in there. Bill had a 7:30 pm meeting, but he didn't get to it due to getting home too late. They had an emergency, so we got pushed behind. That doesn't bother me, but then we had them take Sasha for blood work and that took forever. I started getting nervous and asked the receptionist to check on the situation. She said they may be backed up. I didn't really care if they were backed up. I wanted my Sasha in my car and I wanted to be headed home. I have never had to wait so long for blood work before. At least the girls are happy and healthy, that is all that counts.
You would think I would have had a lot of patience waiting because I napped in the afternoon after I picked up Ping from school. I was so low energy that I knew something was wrong. By the time I walked out of the office, a sore throat was coming on. I went down hill fast. I didn't sleep all night because I couldn't swallow. I literally dragged myself out of bed so that I could get Ping to school. I dropped her off, came home and sat in my chair. I napped on and off. I picked up Ping, came home and napped again on and off. I just had zero energy. I emptied the dishwasher, but that was an effort! I did take Ping to ice skating at 4:00 pm. Bill met me there. She wanted to have dinner, but I told her we were going home. I was about to fall on my face. Once home, I laid down and napped for 10 minutes. Bill then woke me up to tell me he was going to the fire station. So I had to get up and come downstairs. Just as we were cleaning up about an hour later, Bill walked in the door. A little earlier that I anticipated. So he and I put Ping to bed. I came back down and watched a little TV. I am heading upstairs now. I just didn't want to forget what Ping said on the way to ice skating. The road we take is really convuluted. I have yet to figure it out. Anyway, Ping says "Mommy, the road makes a Y." She couldn't have been more correct. It's like 2 lanes go into one, but it's the way it's designed. You have to see it to understand. She then said "Mommy, the lines make and H or look like a ladder." Again, she was totally correct. The lines are odd on this street and so it does look like an H or a ladder. I was so proud of Ping for noticing that. I would never have thought that it looked like a Y, an H or a ladder. It's amazing how children can open our minds to see things the way they do. Just another amazing moment with my child. I hope I have them for the rest of my life. I have already told her that she is never moving out. She is fine for that for now. Let's see how it goes when she gets a tad older.
I am so proud of your observation skills Ping. I am so proud of how you are able to see things differently and connect them to something you have already learned. I still don't know how we got the best child in the world, but we did.

Tomorrow starts another week
Where did this weekend go? I actually worked my Tastefully Simple business at a craft fair from 9:00 am till 1:30 pm and then had to be to another craft fair from 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm. I think that is why it feels like the weekend went by even faster than usual. It was a really great day though. The first fair didn't pan out so well. I didn't think it would. I did it a few years ago and it wasn't great, so I had a feeling this wasn't going to be any different, but thought I would give it a try anyway. I am not disappointed that I did it. I may have one or two leads from it and that would be wonderful.
The event that started at 2:00 pm actually was really good. I got about six or so orders and they were good orders. So that was well worth it.
We ended up having dinner on the way home. Ping was begging to go to a restaurant as usual. God she cracks me up when she starts begging to go out to dinner. I hadn't eaten really all day because the first event was nut free and all I had was a Nature's Valley peanut butter bar and a pack of 6 peanut butter crackers. I did finally eat them when I got to the second event. Not exactly a meal though. We went to the "Apple" restaurant. That is what Ping calls Applebees. You know why she likes it there? She likes the boneless buffalo wings with the bleu cheese. Funny chica.
Ping had a bath and then we read a story to her and passed out for a bit. I got back up and came downstairs to watch a lot of programs I had on the DVR. I went to bed around 2:00 am. Ping came down for a drink, so I went upstairs with her after that.
I woke up early today. Ping was yelling she wanted breakfast. Very annoying when she does that. Bill got up and got her something to eat and then took her to Sunday School. He asked me if I was going to take her because he said his sore throat was killing him. I didn't have enough time to jump up and get ready though, so he took her. I got up later and thought we were going to head out to a Chinese event. However, Bill came upstairs and was so busy walking away from me while I was talking, that it was never discussed. I was too angry at that point, so I decided to stay in and put my Tastefully Simple orders in. Our neighbor Heidi came over with her boyfriend to take Ping for a walk. It was beautiful out. Ping was so excited to go for a walk. After Heidi left, Ping was yelling "I love you Heidi." So adorable.
It was a pretty boring day, but I got plenty of stuff done and that is truly all that counts to me. I do feel bad about missing the event today. I really wanted to go. Who wants to spend the day with someone who is grumpy and wants to blame it on you though. Um, no thanks!!!!
Well I guess I shall retire for the evening. Hope you had a good weekend.

Cute little story I forgot to mention
On Halloween, we grabbed a pizza on the way home from errands. Bill and Ping got out of the truck and went in for the pizza. The man behind the counter gave Ping two lollipops. After they walked out, they went into the cleaners next door. Ping went in to give the little girl that is there sometimes, the other pop. I am not sure, but I think the owners are Korean. I could be wrong on that, so don't hold me to it. Anyway, the sister works there and sometimes brings her 3 or 4 year old in with her. She and Ping always smile at each other. So when Ping saw her walking around in her Minnie Mouse costume, she knew she was in that day. She told Daddy she wanted to give the second pop to her. I thought that was so very sweet of Ping. Anyway, I forgot to mention that last week.
Yesterday we had a great day of being in the house and no errands. I did buy a small buffalo chicken pizza for our lunch. Ping has never had it, but I know she has had a buffalo chicken finger before and loved it. She had three pieces. She loved the bleu cheese on it. I was grateful to be home for the day. I was sort of tired because I was out for hours the night before at a Tastefully Simple party for a recruit of mine. It was nice to be out, but I didn't really eat much during the day, so watching everyone eat the samples was torture!
Today I ran a few errands around town and then spent the afternoon here. I took Ping to dancing at 4:00 pm. I switched her from Thursdays to Fridays. There were a lot of girls on Thursday and the waiting room was really too busy to sit in. Ping enjoyed the class. Unfortunately, right before we left the house, I looked in her bag to make sure she had everything and her white ballet slippers were missing. I was so upset!!!! I don't know what happened to them. Ping isn't allowed to touch the bag during the week, so I know they were lost at the studio. I usually look in the bag at the studio, but I was so frustrated last week, that I bolted once class was over. So I am really angry at myself for not checking. Now it's been an entire week, so who knows what could have happened to them. They said they would look for them at the following weeks session. So that puts us at two weeks. Not much I can do about it.
Well that is it for now. I must head off to bed. I have to get up super early. I have two events tomorrow.
