Flu Shots

On our way home from picking Naissa up today, a man was standing outside the front of the school. As I passed by and smiled he turned and told me they were giving free flu shots today. I thought to myself, do we need shots? He gave me the info and we kept walking home. By the time we got home I decided this was a great opportunity seeing how the kid's insurance may not cover the flu shots and I am currently uninsured. I grabbed the immunizations records and the kids and headed back to school. Turned out it cost $9 per person for the shot. bummer. Jim hasn't got paid yet. I decided I'd write a check and hope that they wouldn't cash it right away. When I filled out the papers they asked me about health insurance and I told them how the kids had Healthy Families and they gave us, including me, the flu shots for free! Hallelujah! I called Jim and had him come get a shot and both my parents came by too. $9 is a lot better than paying for the whole thing because the insurance doesn't cover it. My arm is unexpectedly sore. I thought Naissa was going to hold her breath and pass out when it was her turn. She screamed! really loud! I'm glad she's 5 and not 10. That would've been extremely embarrassing!

I didn't take a picture this time but our kitchen table has been decorate with lots of colorful markers that won't come off!! Thanks to a cute little boy I like to call Isaac!! It's definitely time to get a table cloth and some plastic to go over it!

I noticed too that our other table that we have in the front room has more permanent marker on the other side of the leg! It had already been drawn on several months ago but now, it just seems more....um? fuller? marked up?

One more day of school and it's vacation! Yippee!! Isaac and I walked Naissa to school this morning in the rain! I could definitely use a break from that! It's been just plain cold outside this week. We get back to the house and crank up the heat so we can defrost ourselves before having to go back and pick her up!

I finished wrapping everybody's Christmas presents today, while watching Mickey's Magical Christmas (snowed in at the house of mouse). Isaac fell asleep so I was able to wrap his presents too. And yes I kept watching Mickey's Magical Christmas by myself!
