5 Days till Christmas

Well with only 5 days until Christmas we have so much going on!
Schools close here for the Summer so mainly from now until the beginning of February! Life will be chaotic! Trying to juggle work and family can just be a nightmare!
Then to add to the mix we have Ann (Keith's Mum) being unwell for over 8 weeks and that too has taken a toll! Ann normally comes and spends the whole day with us! Not this year! we will pick her up for a couple of hours over lunch and then pop her back home! That will be more than enough for her and us!
Her legs have broken out again and she is constantly picking at them! The District nurse rang yesterday and said she might even end up in hospital! So we will watch this space! In some way in hospital will mean we feel free to have a break! We have both taken 2 weeks off work and then back into it!
I have trips to Queenstown, Central Otago and Invercargill with a few stops on the way! So might end up travelling by myself for a few days just to get the work done!
Well the lists are out we are trying to decide on what is important must dos over the simple traps of Christmas and the Silly season!
I am taking my support people out for coffee tomorrow! So that will be fun!

Emily yesterday had her ears looked again as she has the biggest wax build up I have ever seen and she did OK! The removed almost all of it she has 2 lumps quiet deep in her ear which require suction but the Ear Nurse thought she wouldn't cope with it! she is right! So off to the doctors today to get a check up a for both children as Emily has little movement in her ear drums so there is an issue there they think she has chronic ear infections but she doesn't show it! The issue for us is her speech and the volume of her speech!
So today is my official day off but I still have loose ends to complete then tomorrow I finish for the year!
Yeah two weeks off with the kids! Yes that will be good! Especially once Christmas day is finished! We love the day but then we can relax! Must clean out the fridge and pop some bubbles in! Yum!
Have an excellent day and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers constantly!
