the day before...

and i'm sick. Really sick. There's no time to be sick here. Being sick means trying to still be Mom and keep a very un-sick : ) 4 1/2 yr. old boy entertained even though I would rather be passed out in bed. Being sick means that the programs with the kids at Casa Alba orphanage have to be cancelled today. More than that, they have to be rescheduled later this week - and trying to figure out where we can reschedule them is almost impossible because there are hardly any spots left in the week where we can do the programs. And tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Who is supposed to make all of the pies and the Turkey? That would be Kelsey this year. I guess as long as I don't touch the turkey or the pies once they come out of the oven then they are germ free : )

Enough of sick talk. Moving on. Among the e-mails that I received this morning were two that made an impact on my day.
My Dad sent me an I love Lucy clip which, made me laugh.

A woman from my church sent me Lincoln's Thanksgiving address which, was extremely powerful.

Also, some Marghita news for you. On Monday night they turned on the Christmas lights in town! And, you can get Clementines for 3.70 RON per Kilo in a tiny little store near my apartment. Everyone else is selling them for at least 5 RON per Kilo. What a rip off. Way to go hole in the wall tiny store!! Want to know the exchange rate?
