Update

Well, the rapid strep test came out negative. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Judging from the size of Alyssa's tonsils, an antibiotic would have been really nice. Especially if I catch this thing. Ughhhh... Hopefully it's short lived. How's everyone in your neck of the woods?

Oh and Happy Last Day of 2008!! Can you even believe it? I think it's just going to be a quiet night at home with the kids for us. We might even celebrate with New York at 10 pm and go to bed early. How boring is that?! Hope you all are having WAY more fun.

See you next year!

Happy New Year! I'm thinking quiet at home with kids too.

I am totally digging that 'stay at home and get to bed'. Our friends just might 'have to do without us'. :) I am such a party-pooper.

Hope Alyssa gets to feeling better! That's no fun to feel crummy on your school break!

Oh dear...hope she's feeling better soon. For her sake--and yours!

And yes--celebrate with the east coast. I'll think of you at midnight--well, 10 pm your time! Wooooooo! Happy 2009!!!!

You won't be alone, after all...

We'll be home watching the ol' ball drop and hittin' the sack. Nev's sick, so staying home is our only real option and I am OKAY with that!

So, who came up with the ball dropping idea, anyway?

Mel: We need to come up with something REALLY AMAZING to celebrate New Year's with?

Debbie: Let's bring in Zebras.

Mel: No... not unique enough.

Debbie: How about lance-dueling knights in armour.

Mel: No, Debbie, something more GRAND!

Debbie: Zeplins. No. Plaid zeplins with streamers.

Mel: Come, on, Debbie! You've got to think of something too fantastic, too extraordinary, too out-of-this-world for anyone else to think of!!

Debbie: Oh, Mel, that's a lot of responsibility. I'd feel really bad if I dropped the ball.

Mel: TREMENDOUS!

Debbie: Yes, tremendously bad.

Mel: No! Tremendously great!

Debbie: What?

Mel: We'll drop a ball!

Debbie: Everyone will be so disappointed...

Mel: No, they'll love it. You're brilliant!

Well, if I had been Debbie and Mel, we would have had plaid zeplins and zebras for sure.

I hope that she is feeling better soon. We are taking it easy too and I am starting to come out and visit others to see what fun they have been up to. Happy New Year!!!

LOL at Trish's comment! How does she do that! And I missed a strep throat scare?

Okay, I'm going to just stop being so amazed at all of the stuff I've missed out on and start expecting it. Man I've been gone.
