Weekend

We made it to the events we needed to go to this weekend.  That is quite an accomplishment, considering the illness that we've seen.  The beginning of last week was quite rough, many were still not feeling well with the chest cold that we'd each gotten.  Especially for my Hubby.  He worked through it, although I'm thinking his co-workers would have rather that he'd been home, he made it through.  The fever that our youngest, Miss E had, finally broke after one week; she was still coughing a bit, but finally on the road to recovery....

I did have a little bit of a meltdown Friday afternoon-  and had a little rant about every little thing that had been "bothering" me-  While complaining, my family laughed at me, which really helped lighten my mood....    

We had plans for this weekend.  Saturday the little girls and I attended a birthday party for our favourite toddler girl in the world, Little Miss E, turned 2.  She was just sweet and darling!

The big plans were for Sunday... The girls dance studio planned a dance benefit for our local Children's hospital, one of the girls on Miss E's dance team, has a rare form of asthma, this sweet girl has spent many of her days in the hospital- The theme of the event was "breathing".   Miss E had not been to dance class for a week and a half, we really didn't know how she'd hold up....Would she get into a coughing fit? Would she tire easily?  She did just fine.  She said she was coughing a bit, but we couldn't tell from the audience.  We haven't heard the dollar numbers yet, but their little dance school, pulled off quite an event!

Today the rains we here in our little corner of the world, are so accustomed to have returned.  I do think that we've turned the weather corner, and will be seeing more of the sunny days we experienced this weekend.  Speaking of weather.....

I've a package to send off to Alabama, and The Pioneer Woman has a unique giveway this week, benefitting the tornado victims from last week.   The blogging community certainly has pulled together in helping those folks.
