We have had strep throat and type A Flu in this house for 2 full weeks now. Today was the first day all the boys went to school. Marty missed 3 days of work this week and I missed 2 (which is all I work so I guess that's the whole week...). Since copays are now $25 for us I spent $100 on Doctor visits (had to take each boy in to check for strep) and Marty had to be strep checked as well. I am happy to say we are at the tail end of this most trying endeavor. We certainly have caught up on our movies and books though. Nolan says we are having movie marathons! I actually made it to Target today (to buy medicine of course) so that's a good sign that I was able to get out of the house. Anyway, enough complaining. We are as always, thankful to live in America where we have good doctors and good medicine.
The Wuestes had a good visit here in San Antonio which began and ended with us Schimceks, sick. We didn't get to spend near enough time with them. We are looking forward to a visit from the McDonald cousins next.
The New Year is looking good with Marty getting fence quotes so we can keep those pigs out. They had a special about it on the Today Show this morning. Showed the damage the wild pigs are doing in the South. They all seemed to think it was quite funny - HA. Colin and Nolan start basketball tomorrow so our rest from sports is officially over. Right after Basketball, baseball will start. My head is starting to hurt again so I will sign-off for now.
