This is our second and final weekend of Nutcracker.  There was a dress rehearsal tonight.  It was very fun.  I think everyone is feeling a bit froggy.  At the end, during the finale, Sister and 4 others come out as reindeer pulling the sleigh.  They take Clara across the stage.  Two other reindeer moms and I took their places.  It was fun and we had everyone just cracking up.

Honey has had the worst cough these last 18 hours.  We had to use Xopenex several times consecutively last night.  I tried to make an appointment.  No go.  I left a message for the on-call doctor at almost 8.  No call back.  (You gotta love government run healthcare)  Luckily, I have a dear friend whose husband is a doctor (he is a good friend as well).  He came over and checked her out.  She's got an upper respiratory infection.  He gave Brother some antibiotics too since he's not been himself for about 4 days.  Hopefully, this will take care of it all and no one else will go down.

Oh, and her first thought was she would dance tonight.  She couldn't leave her partner hanging.

Ben has arrived in Kuwait and is awaiting the planes to take him to his final destination.

I'm not ready for Christmas.

Every year I say I need to get Christmas shopping/gift making done before Nutcracker season starts.  Each year, I fail.  Now, I plan on starting gifts in January.  I need to make out my plan.

I also have lesson plans to work on.

But, the week from Christmas to New Year's will be to-do list free.  Besides the basics, there will be absolutely think I HAVE to do.  Actually, I refuse.
