46th Anniversary

Today Marvin and I celebrated our 46th anniversary. It was a very nice day because we were surrounded by our 2 daughters and grandson. We sure enjoyed their company and are so happy we got to spend the day together.
It was a rainy, chilly, windy day. We had breakfast and lay around talking and enjoying each other, then we all went out to eat at Cha Cha's. It was fun. The girls took care of the bill, that was very nice and also gave us a grill pan that Marvin has been wanting and will really be a nice addition to our kitchen :)
At night the girls and I played Scrabble, and I made a pound cake, we also watched the All Star Basketball Saturday, we like the slam dunk portion of it.

In other news, I bought myself an iPad. So far Tristan, Sandy and Lizzie have played with it more than I have and I am sure they know a lot more than I do on how to run it, but I will learn and it's fun!

Marvin was feeling pretty good today and extra happy to be with the family!
Thank you all for making our Anniversary very special.

And happy birthday to Norbert on his 55th birthday too.

A long weekend

Teachers love February, not only is the shortest month of the year, but we have 2 4-day weeks.

This year our Monday off was on Valentine's Day, so we had to celebrate it at school on Friday.

We had a card exchange and also a Dance-A-Thon to raise money for our field trip. It was a busy busy day. I also got a few chocolate hearts from the kiddies, I kept a few and gave the others away.

Marvin had caught a cold and was not feeling great, but on Saturday we asked Norbert to come and help us with a few things, and we also asked him to stay for dinner. It was a great day, weather wise and food wise. We had steak, asparagus, baked potatoes, grilled carrots, salad and apple pie with ice cream. And beer.

Marv and Norbert took all the gutters off, also took down the Xmas lights in the backyard, so that's done :)

Sunday and Monday were pretty quiet, I went to the Jacuzzi a couple of times, also cooked a little bit and went to the grocery store, cleaned/organized a little and of course, played in the computer.

Now back to work tomorrow. I will take Friday off to go to the airport to pick up Sandy and Tristan, and then on Saturday -our Anniversary- Lizzie will come over too :)

Unfortunately the forecast is for rainy weather...but I am sure we will enjoy being together rain or shine :)

Health scare

When I got home from work on Thursday, Marvin seemed a little tired, he took a nap and woke up disoriented and not being able to work, his blood sugar was low, so we ate some dinner (won ton soup) and he felt better but still shaky. I decided to call the school and take Friday off.
Friday morning I checked on him but he was sleeping so I let him sleep, at 10:30 he still was not up so I went to wake him up but I couldn't, he wouldn't respond, he couldn't talk or sit up or know where he was. I called 911 and in 10 minutes the firemen, medics and ambulance came. There were about 8 of them. They asked questions and went to check on him, and said he had a insulin shock caused by low blood sugar -hypoglycemia-. They gave him a shot and in a few minutes he sat up and was able to answer questions. They asked if he wanted to go to the hospital and he said no. But after they left, I decided to take him to ER because he was still shaky.
We waited like 3 hours in the waiting room, he was called a couple of times to check his vitals and also to give some blood. Later on he was checked into a room where we stay for about 5 more hours. They checked him pretty thoroughly and he was discharged to go home by 9:30PM. The doctor told us to check his blood sugar every 4 hours.
When we got home, Lizzie had called saying she would come over, she was on her way. He was feeling better by then. Today Saturday, his blood sugar was OK, I made breakfast and he has a sandwich for lunch and then the 3 of us went to ChaCha's for a (yummy) early dinner.
Mia, that was the reason I wrote in Facebook it had not been a good Friday.
Have a good Superbowl Sunday everybody!
