Pampered Chef show

Here we are in November! I can’t believe time has flown by so fast.

Thursday night we were expecting our out of town visitors late in the evening. Well, just after dinner I started suffering from them worst stomach flu I have ever had. I spent the night hiding upstairs. Hubby was in charge of getting them in and settled. I guess that this nasty stomach flu is going around. Even my cousin in Vermont suffered from it last weekend! So far Hubby has been able to stay away from it.

Anyway, our guests arrived safe and sound. Friday morning, they headed up to the Academy to assist with set painting and building. I stayed home from work and was miserable all day by myself. Hubby took Courtney to daycare and went to work.

Our guests came back briefly to change and head back up to the Academy. The dress rehearsal was that night, and that is the whole reason that Shelia and her son came to town. Well, they actually were coming to town to see the actual play, but they moved the dates of the play. Shelia had all ready bought the airline tickets and they were non-refundable. But the group at the Academy agreed to let them see the dress rehearsal.

Saturday was an early start for all of us as well. John, our cadet, Shelia’s son, had to get up early to go and cook at his squadron’s tailgate party. Hubby started his day by going to get a haircut. He was the first to leave the house and the first to discover that someone had thrown a flagstone at John’s windshield. The windshield didn’t break, but it was spider-cracked in a million different cracks. So, then we had to call the police, etc. They took a report and John took my car to the Academy.

Shelia is a Pampered Chef rep and we were having a Pampered Chef show that afternoon. I was feeling a whole lot better from my stomach bug, but I was pretty weak from not eating or drinking for 24 hours. Shelia and I spent the morning dealing with John’s truck.

After Hubby got home from his haircut and running a few other errands, he showered and then took Courtney to My Gym. It’s a gym that caters to kids starting at 6 months or so. Our friends take their kids there, so I wanted to check it out for Courtney. Since she is so into being upside-down and climbing, I thought it might be up her alley. She was supposed to go last weekend, but we ended up at the pediatrician’s with the double ear infection, so we rescheduled for this weekend. But due to time constraints, Hubby took her. He said it was so-so. Now I want to go check it out.

Anyway, Saturday afternoon our friends came over and we had our Pampered Chef show. I haven’t been to one or had one in so long. There are a ton of new things that I want!

That night we smoked a turkey breast and had a yummy dinner with all of us. And then Shelia and her boys went to a movie. I went to bed supper early, as I did the night before. I am still attempting to recover from this flu that wiped me out.

Sunday morning we spent quality time with Courtney. Hubby made a large breakfast for all of us. It was very yummy. Finally Shelia and her son Michael headed for the airport. John took them. After he saw them off, he came back here for a while. John and I had to trade cars for tomorrow also. The Academy won’t let his truck on base with the smashed windshield, so we kept the truck for him. Tomorrow, a windshield company is going to meet me at work and install his new windshield. Then at some point tomorrow, we will swap cars again. I feel bad that his windshield was smashed right in front of our house!

Well, I am still feeling a little wiped out. So, I am off to bed!
