December daily (ish)...weekend addition

Well, we did it. A week ago we bought an artificial tree. (Artificial sounds so much nicer than fake) I know. I know, I know. Why, you ask? The same reason other people do. I mainly wanted it to be able to put up all of my heavy ornaments that rarely make it on the tree because there aren't enough thick branches. I also am tired of the dust/dirt and pine needles. Safety is always a concern as well. Harrison also has allergies and I am hoping this might help. I never thought we would. It might not be permanent. We'll see. But gosh, it sure is pretty.

So, yesterday. Busy day. I had every intention of posting a photo of some decoration that I love. I decorated the house yesterday. Moved boxes, once, twice, three times I'm sure. What do I have to show for it besides the house which as I said is decorated, but a mess nonetheless. I went to bed late with an aching back. I was so looking forward to sleeping in this morning but that was not to be. Charlie woke us up around five, complaining of a tummy ache. He got into bed with us and it was impossible to fall back to sleep. (Not for Robert) He was in a lot of pain. About an hour later he got up to try the bathroom and ended up throwing up. That happened once more and unfortunately it was not while he was in the bathroom! I got to spend a little while cleaning vomit off the carpet and couch, which is about as fun as it sounds. I am happy to report that he is feeling much better, in fact he made a rather quick recovery.
