Sickness attacks the Kanes

So, this past couple of weeks we have all managed to get sick in some way. 

Kasey came down with a cold and fever a couple of weekends ago.  Luckily (I guess), we got well over two feet of snow that night, so Kasey was able to stay home and rest.  He ended up only going to school two days that week, which has helped him bounce back.  The bad news is that we went to his doctor's for another follow-up visit for the fluid in his ears and allergies.  The doctor saw fluid, again.  This makes it six months of fluid in his ears.  In six weeks, if the fluid is still there and his allergies are still out of whack, he has to go to an ENT to potentially get tubes and he has to go to an allergist.  Here's to hoping that we can get this all under control WITHOUT tubes.


On Tuesday, my dear husband called me at work to tell me that he was sick to his stomach.  I came home for lunch and Keith was acting like death had come upon him.  He managed to leave the house long enough to get Kasey.  Shortly after I walked through the door after work, he was in bed to sleep it off.  Luckily, the was all better the next morning, with the exception of a headache.

As for myself, my sickness has been brewing since Friday.  I have a bit of a cold, which has stuck around a lot longer than I wanted.  My complete lack of sleep for nearly three nights hasn't improved it any.  Hopefully I will catch up on sleep soon, so I can get on the mend.

Hope everyone else is in good health!

Still Alive (for now)

My husband gives me constant flack for not blogging enough, so I just wanted to let everyone that we are all still alive and well.

Kasey is loving school and Keith is still unemployed.  Other than that, not much has changed.  Kasey is now addicted to Star Wars, which is driving me nuts.

We are surprising Kasey with a trip to Disney World in June (we are telling him just before we get on the plane).  What he won't know is that we are going for Star Wars Weekend.  This may add fuel to the fire, but it will be worth it to see his eyes light up when he sees Vader.

I'll try to keep everyone more updated, but that is what I say every time.  :)

10 Year Reunion

About a month ago we had our Beekmantown Class of 2000 10 year reunion.  Planning what a nightmare, but it was worth it.  Not only did we learn a lot about how to plan the next one, but we ended up having a blast.

Saturday, 8/21, about 30 of us met at the Naked Turtle to have dinner, dessert, and some crazy amounts of alcohol.  All of the food was good, until the bill came.  When I went to pay for our dinner with my debit card, the employees admitted that tey didn't know how to adjust tips, amounts, etc., and they charged my card three times!  Needless to say, I wasn't happy as it killed my available balance.  We still had a ton of fun.  Glass Onion was playing, so we stayed for a little while before heading over to Krazy Horse.  Surprisingly, I was one of the ones that made it to closing time.

Sunday, 8/22, we had a family picnic planned for the city beach.  This was where all hell broke loose! We woke up and it was pouring.  Dee & Mark realized that the beach wasn't even going to open in the crappy weather we were having, so we had to make a last minute change to Point Au Roche.  We got lucky in that the pavilions were open and we quickly nabbed one.  Not many people made it due to the weather and location change, but it was still nice to see all of those who made it.
