So, its a New Years? Did you have a good New Years, or ...
For New Years, I managed to get sick. I guess I better explain this one a little bit. I don't mean that I drank and partied too much and felt bad the next day, I mean I got sick. Starting on the day after Christmas, I began to feel bad, and the day after that, I was down for the count.
On the day after New Years, I gave up and went to the doctor (of course, I tried going to work first). Sinus Infection!!!! That might explain the vast amount of off colored stuff coming from my nose, chest, etc. Anyway, thanks to the vast number of "nurses" in our house, I am well now.
By nurse, I am referring to our loving daughters. Since Jessica had to work, I was stuck with Brooke to help out and make sure that I was fine. To Brooke's credit, she did manage to stay away from me and she didn't make too much noise. Of course, she spent her entire day and night on the Internet ignoring me, which may explain the quiet but I will take it.
Finally after visiting the doctor, he provided me with enough drugs to kill the average horse. This guy had me taking a steroid, anti-histamine, and some other crappy pill the size of a Twinkie. After a week and a half of taking these things, I'm finally back to normal.
As if that wasn't enough fun, we decided to turn it up a notch since New Years.
Little Elizabeth had her sixteenth birthday on the fifth. Since her mother had a party planned for her, we decided to wait till this weekend to celebrate. For a change, the birthday bash occured at an "American" restaurant, Red Lobster. We had a great dinner.
For her birthday, Lil Bit racked up!!! I especially want to thank Mom who gave Elizabeth a beautiful ring. The ring is really special since it was the first real ring that she ever bought for herself as a kid. I know it meant a lot to her (Mom) to have a grand daughter to give the ring to, and it meant a lot to Lil Bit to receive it.
As if the birthday party wasn't fun enough, we had one other big "todo" for the weekend. To her credit, Jessica has managed to keep mum about the car situation since the accident. Its not that Big E and I haven't wanted to replace the vehicle, but until today we haven't found a vehicle that fit our needs and price. This morning we found a 2003 Chevrolet Malibu in the price range that we could afford. The car is a little high on mileage but it appears to be in relatively good condition.
We found the vehicle at a small family owned dealership in Dadeville, AL. The name of the dealership is McKelvey Chevrolet. The people at this dealership were really nice and worked with us to insure that we could afford the car. The important thing is that Jessica likes that car!
So, its a New Year, new adventures and new stories are bound to find their way into our lives. Stay tuned to see how I manage to survive the hijinks that these girls are planning..
