If last week was the week from hell, this week was only the week from purgatory. A small improvement but still a bit rough. Dad is making a slow rebound but you know he was really sick when he has to take an entire week off from riding. He ventured out for a short ride on Saturday and it knocked him out for the rest of the day. We will be glad to get this particular virus out of the house!
My week was slightly better. I made it back to school but was pretty tired all week. I had swimming lessons on Tuesday and it was great because the other two girls weren't there so I had a private lesson. I started learning the "dolphin kick" and my instructor started me on the butterfly stroke too. I loved it! I think it made my back muscles really sore though because I spent the next 3 days with the back of my hand against my forward, sighing about how much my back hurt. Boo-hoo. Mom did a very thorough assessment (not!) and determined that I would live, so no sympathy there.
Thursday, I had Girl Scouts. Mom, Ms. Chris and Ms. Young (who was hosting) were all so tired and disorganized that our meeting consisted of 12 girls taking over the basement and acting like wild women for an hour and 15 minutes. IT WAS AWESOME!
Friday could not come soon enough. I had the day off but mom had to work a 1/2 day so off to day camp I went. She picked me up at noon and we went to see the movie Wreck-it Ralph. I loved it because it was about video games, candy and car racing. What more could a girl want? And to make it even better.....my tooth fell out! My front tooth has been hanging on and hanging on for at least 6 weeks and we thought it would never fall out. Apparently, I just wasn't taking big enough breaths because that is about all it took for it to finally let go. We made a quick trip to the bathroom to rinse up and I told everyone within ear shot what had happened. Everyone was so excited. Mom was super excited too because it finally got my mind off my back pain and onto my awesome tooth.
After the movie, we headed to my allergy doctor for our annual check in. It was a really productive visit. The doctor put a big blob of peanut butter on my arm and watched for reactions. Since I had none, I am now free to eat where ever I want in the cafeteria and not just at the "nut free" table. I kind of like the "nut free" table though so who knows. I go back in a month for another skin test and to start oral challenges- a little nerve wracking but exciting too!
Saturday was quiet but the weather was amazing- 55 degrees and clear blue skies so we headed to the park for awhile and then mom and I met my friend Sophia and her mom at the Wildlife Museum for the afternoon.
Sunday was another beautiful day, so we headed down to a new park near our house to feed the ducks. Have you ever seen a duck ice skate? It's pretty funny!
Mom is still loving her Subaru- so much so that I'm tired of hearing about it. But, it seems she has started a trend. Ms. Chris, her co Daisy Troop leader was on the hunt for a new car and loved mom's Subaru so much, she went out and bought one for herself. Our neighbors 3 houses down have a brand new grey one sitting in their garage and our across the street neighbor ( mom thinks the wife might be a bit of a stalker but that is for another post) pulled a brand new white Subaru Outback into their garage. I knew mom and dad were cool but I didn't realize what trend setters they are!
Have a great week!
