Tasty Thursday

Hi!

Another week of not blogging... Why? Well, N is still sick.  We went to the walk-in clinic on Friday and they were only open for an hour instead of 6, so N wasn't able to get in.  Then Saturday, K called the "new" 811 number to talk to a registered nurse.  She recommended going to a walk-in clinic (no clinics nearby are open on Sat) or going to the ER.  The wait-time at the ER in Summerside, which is about 25 min away, is always more than 10 hours for non-urgent care (you can check online) and about 3-4 hours in Charlottetown, which is about 1 hour 15 min away.  So, we waited.... Then on Sunday we happened to check the wait times for the ER's again and it was less than an hour in C'town.  So, K took N there and he was diagnosed with pneumonia! He's on antibiotics but still has a low fever and cough.  Plus his throat is sore from all the coughing. So far, he's missed 6 days of school!

In other news, C had her "Back to School" Party on Sunday. I think the 4 girls (plus C) had fun.  Although, one of them fell of the hammock and hurt her arm!

Also, C started modern dance yesterday.  She was so excited to go, especially when she found out that one of her friends who took dancing last year and wasn't going to take this year, changed her mind and decided to take it this year when she found out that C was taking it.  But even though she had a friend there, C was quite upset after class because she "couldn't do it".  She even said she didn't want to take dancing anymore!  She showed us the gallop step that caused her trouble and she seemed to do it just fine.  This morning she said she still wants to take dance, but wants a new outfit...She wore a leotard and tights, but all the other girls had dance shorts and tops.  I think a trip to the dance shop in C'town is in order!

Here's our menu plan for this week.  We have a lot of stuff in the freezer so we're having a lot of meals from there.
