The Weekend

Hhhhh, it's Monday morning and the weekend is over - how sad. It was a nice weekend, Eric judged the 6th grade solo festival on Saturday and I had students in it, but we were all done by noon and had the rest of the day to ourselves. Sunday was church and stuff, and then we had some of the musical staff over for a work session and dinner, it was nice to visit with them and we got a lot of work done. Now we delve into another full 5 day week of 10-13 hour days - ending with Saturday and the solo festival that I run with like 14 schools and judges and lots of kids and logisitcal nightmares - and then the Chuck Mangione concert Saturday night - Sunday is church and the Superbowl - and then we do it again. There is a winter storm watch for Tuesday night into Wednesday afternoon though - I could use a 2-hour delay to catch up on sleep:).

So more news in the milk saga - I actually thought of doing a post yesterday and calling it the milk saga:). Well Saturday morning Genni was with Grandma, who is not quite used to thinking so hard about all the food she eats (don't worry Grandma:)) and she had a hershey's kiss - not sure how much one piece of chocolate effects this milk protien allergy thing. She was up at 3:00 that night, well morning I guess. Then on Sunday her dark circles where back - I'm not sure what from. We ate at the church luncheon (I wasn't going to cause I didn't know what she'd be able to eat, but they convinced me, I bowed to peer pressure!) but she just had a hotdog and jello with fruit and tomatoes. I don't think she even ate the bun. Not sure what happened, but she's back to normal now. Eric wants to take her to the dr, but I know what they will say - we need to start writing down everything she eats etc. and they'll ask if we started using any new detergent, cleaners, etc. So I'll just start keeping better track I guess. I hate to think of my child as a science experiment, but that's what it feels like sometimes. Oh well, at least it's only milk so far and not milk and wheat like Genni's friend Graham - that has to be super hard. We'll figure it all out eventually:).
