Crazy November

November 1st: Aaron got a cold (not H1N1 or the flu, praise God!)

November 2nd: helped one of my step-brother's sons move into an apartment, began teaching guitar at the church to a couple kids from the youth group

November 3rd: Kate got sick, Aaron was still sick, guitar lessons again, began writing piano music for our church's Christmas program, graded about 100 History tests, tended to sick wife and sick son, stayed with Aaron while Kate went to doctor (just a cold, no flu or H1N1!), I got sick at about 2:00 in the morning (which turned out to be food poisoning from the fish I ate earlier that day)

November 4th: Kate was still sick, Aaron was still sick, I called in sick but was finally able to keep food down around mid-afternoon, prepped for our trip to Nashville this weekend, continued to write music for Christmas program, created lesson plans for the substitute on Friday and Monday

November 5th (today): Kate and Aaron are feeling a bit better, more Christmas program music writing tonight

Aaron has missed school all week, and we're leaving tomorrow morning for Nashville anyways. Kate's gone into homeschooling a sick kid this week while being sick herself. I've learned not to eat fish that smells funny, although it looked perfectly fine at the time. Now I'm left wondering if the three of us are up to driving eight hours tomorrow. Busy week, and it's not even over yet. We head for Nashville, Tennessee tomorrow morning. We're staying with Dan and his family. Saturday night is my nephew's birthday party. Sunday is National Orphan Sunday, and we're going to church with him in the morning than to a special event at Christ Community Church later on that afternoon. Monday, it's back in the car to head home. Very busy November so far..
