It's a New Year!!

Happy New Year!! I sure brought it in with a bang, I was sleeping and heavily medicated!! I spent the early hours of the evening hanging with the walk in clinic doctor. It would have been worth while if he was cute, but no such luck!! I ended up with walking pneumonia. Much to my husbands excitement, we spent another hour waiting for my prescription. Unfortunately, I went home and crashed on the couch and Dan had to bring in the new year without me. So New Years was not a big hit in Dan's book, but there will be another one next year, so lets shoot for a better time then!! Dan's birthday was New Years day, which was just as crappy as the night before for Dan. I had all I could do to go to lunch with mom and dad and then supper with Dan's mom and dad. I felt bad that I couldn't even talk, but I think that it was just one of many marvelous gifts that I gave to my husband!! For some odd reason, he didn't mind that I did not have a voice!! The weekend was pretty uneventful, I slept most of it and Dan did everything in his power to stay away from me! (I hope someone tells him that I was NOT contagious!) If I had to narrow it down to one thing that I have learned about my wonderful husband, it is that he has no sympathy for me being sick and he will do anything in his power to stay away from me so he does not get infected!! He is a work in progress and I hope that he never gets really sick because he will be the worst patient ever!!!
We came back to Dickinson early Sunday to get things put back together at the house. We took the Christmas stuff down and finally got things looking like a home again. We plan to stay in Dickinson for the next couple of weekends and get some things around the house done here. I know you are all wondering about how Mattie is, and I am happy to say she is just as spoiled as ever and seems to get into everything! She will be graduating to actual dog food starting this week, so we are hitting some big milestones in her life. I guess it is time to get the baby book out again and document all of her success!! Just Kidding!! That is all that is going on now, I will keep you posted about the change to dog food!!
