The Weekend

Wow, it's been a wild weekend!

First off we had St. Patrick's Day -- which included Natalie's dance class (9 am), a visit to the Air & Space Museum for Family Day (10:15 am - 1:45 pm), and a birthday party for one of Natalie's Kindergarten classmates (6 - 8 pm).

On Sunday it was church and I had to work (at home) since our association's Annual Meeting is going on this week. So much of Sunday was spent on the computer.

And the added distraction of March Madness, of course. I've picked Georgetown to win the National Championship. That means the Hoyas are now doomed. ;-)

Medical update, continued

DH took both kids to the pediatrician on Wednesday because we had run out of antibiotics for Natalie -- the pharmacy that we had received the 10- day prescription from gave us only enough for five days. :-( Since Fairfax County Public Schools decided to CLOSE instead of have a 2 hour delayed opening due to our less-than-one-inch "snowstorm" (insert eye roll here), DH brought Natalie to the pediatrician -- and he brought Nicholas to get checked, too. Nicki is now on antibiotics, too, for his nose/sinuses, plus bacitracin for a case of impetigo.

Then I started with a sore throat and did not want to potentially re-infect Natalie, so I went to get a strep test on Thursday. The initial test was negative and the throat culture results will be back on Monday.

Natalie and Nicholas are both hoping for a "big snowstorm" for Tuesday. The National Weather Service in Sterling is now talking about a "heavy snow event" and we're 4 days out. I think that's historic. It also helps me think we'll end up with a rainstorm. ;-)

Today is Natalie's 100th day of school celebration (which is actually the 99th day of school thanks to the school closing on Wednesday). She also gets her first report card today. We're all very excited!

Oh -- on DH's job front -- the Member that said he's get back to DH last month? He's readvertised the position. So DH is doing a "full-court press". I'm still miffed that the Member didn't follow-up as he said he would.

An update

Well, all the good vibes are most appreciated...

DH had an interview with a Member of Congress and the Member said that he would get in touch with him on Tuesday. Then Tuesday came and went and we heard nothing. Then Wednesday passed, and Thursday...and the Member has still not gotten in touch.

Yes, it is disappointing. I told DH that it says a lot about that Member re: keeping one's word. It's just hard to hear the "it's probably for the best" message when it's been 7 months.

In the meantime he is still interviewing. I truly wish he would broaden his search a bit. But he won't.

I've been sick with some sort of "bug" and the kids had something (with fever) over the weekend. Thankfully they were better Sunday night so Natalie could go to school on Monday and Nicholas could go to preschool as well. Natalie will get her first report card on Friday February 9. We are all anxiously awaiting the news on that day -- which is also the 100th day of school!

Please continue the "please hire him!" vibes!

Good vibes appreciated...

There may be some positive news looming on DH's job hunt...good vibes and prayers most appreciated!
