So the whole family is sick! Anthony and Carson have strep. And, Tabbie, our dog has a strained back. I took Tabbie to the vet yesterday. Since Saturday, she had been really lethargic, can't jump up, and yipping when being picked up. I was really scared for her. The vet did blood work to eliminate the potential of infection and everything came back good. He diagnosed her with a strained back, gave her a shot for pain and pain meds for home and sent us on our way. He said that it will back 7-10 days before she is feeling better and to minimize her activity. This is not a problem since the pain meds knock her out and all she seems to be doing is farting. PEEYOU! YUCK! She looks so sad and I feel so sad for her. Normally, I am cursing her name as she is my shadow and I am constantly tripping over her. However, like Peter Pan, I miss my shadow and wish Wendy would come and make everything better.
Carson and Creighton had a "Graduation" from Pre-school picnic today, however Carson could not attend since he was sick. Creighton was on the fence about going without Carson. However, I was able to persuade him to go and he and I had a lovely picnic with his classmates.
I had to work an event last night so I was tired today. So I laid down for an hour and then took Carson to the doctor (diagnosis - strep throat), then I was off to pick up Audrey from school. It was pissing down rain. It was my turn for carpool to gymnastics so I got Taylor, Logan and Audrey and off we went to gymnastics. Got a coffee from the vending machine at the gym and enjoyed watching Audrey try to do a cartwheel. She has been working on this for 1 year and $500 in gymnastics class fee but she can finally do it. Well, she thinks so and that is what matters. Of you that knew me as a child you know that I came out of the womb cartwheeling so when my daughter can't do it, I struggle. I love her gym though, because they really work the kids out. They stretch for an entire 15 minutes. It keeps her exercising and she enjoys it.
When I got home, Anthony had made Cheese Broccoli soup and Tastee Burgers for dinner and now I am relaxing with my thoughts as I write this. Good night all!

Poor Tabbie! And Carson. And Anthony. Blessings to you all. I hope you're all back to normal by the time you read this.
Steph, can you tell us about your events? Are you freelancing?

I'm really glad you took Tabbie to the vet. Hope you all feel better soon!
Janell, I have been contracting for a couple local catering companies on their events...mostly wedding and corporate cocktail parties. It is very seasonal May to Dec. I enjoy it, but I would like to go back to work full-time for a business-to-business media company in based in Boulder. I have interviewed with them and they had me go to their show in Anahiem in March, but we have not come to an agreement on a position yet. And unfortunately, I don't think we ever will. Strange and frustrating situation.
It sounds like an interesting summer ahead for you with weddings & parties. Sorry the other deal seems to be falling through. They obviously don't know what they'll be missing if they fail to cut a deal with you!
