Christmas Shopping and Sick Kids

I decided to brave the mass of people today in Cool Springs to try to finish my Christmas shopping. It took me over an hour to get from my house to Old Navy, traffic was terrible. It usually takes me about 40 minutes to get to Cool Springs. Thank goodness the lines in the stores were not long at all. I spent most of my time sitting in traffic and trying to get down the aisles in the stores. I didn't eat lunch until 2:35 and on my way home - I developed somewhat of a headache. I am starting to think that on-line shopping is the way to go. But, I have to admit as bad as I dread the crowds, it is kinda of fun!

Tucker stayed home with the kids and I believe he had a pretty fun day, too. Apparently, Nathan got into the pizza and destroyed the box in Maddie's room, his room, the playroom, and decorated the computer desk with pizza! I am not sure what Daddy was doing while all of this was going on. I believe he told me that he was watching T.V. and Nathan went around the hall and up the stairs where he really couldn't see him. Fun times at the Hobbs house.

Nathan had his check-up with the ENT on Thursday. His ears looked wonderful and the tubes are doing their jobs. His hearing was great, even with his nasty nose and cold. The doctor gave us a prescription for Augmentin thanks to Nathan having a horrible sinus infection. He is starting to sleep a little better at night, thank goodness. I had to pick Maddie up from preschool early on Friday. Her eyes were swollen, red, and closed shut when she woke up from nap. I took her to the doctor, she has pink eye in both eyes and on an antibiotic eye drop for 7 days. You just never know what is going to happen from day to day, do you?
