Ever have one of those days?

Caitie's been having one of those school years... It's wreaking havoc on her... See what I mean? She's a bit frazzled...



She's had strep throat so many times I've lost count, and now she's dealing with an upset stomach, which has resulted in vomiting twice, once was dry heaves and the second time her dinner came up. We're not sure if it's a stomach virus or just stomach irritation. Either way, I'm keeping her home tomorrow to keep an eye on her. Each time she's come down with something, someone at her school has had the same thing right before she does... gotta love the public school system.

When I dropped her off at school this morning her teacher gave me her school pictures. I ordered the picture pack that came with one 4x6 and four wallet size photos and a CD. The CD allows me to print how many pics, and what size pics, I want. I decided that was better than spending a lot of money for the full picture packet, which included 8x10s, 5x7s, etc. I think this year's school pic came out better than last year's school pic. She has a bit of a forced smile, but overall, it's a nice pic. I love her hair. I curled it the night before, and the curls stayed in; they were a bit loose, but still looked nice.

Actually, things aren't that bad, the above pic is a bit exaggerated... here's the actual school pic...



Even though Caitie has missed a few days of school due to strep throat, etc., she is enjoying school. I'll be posting about her Christmas program and other activities that have been going on in her class so far this year in an upcoming post, so be sure and stay tuned for that.

*I used a program that came on the picture CD to make the 'frazzled' pic. Caitie approved it before I put it in the post; she had fun using the program as well.
