Well, Zach and I made a big decision yesterday. In about a month we will be moving home. It came to us to do it soon because I was SOOO sick Monday-Wednesday (he was slightly sick for about 24 hours too) and it just sucked being sick away from home. It also made it so we didn't have to go to our jobs, which we just enjoyed way too much because both of us have been unhappy with our jobs lately.
Telling my boss about it was pretty hard, because I knew he would be disappointed. As mean as he can be sometimes, I know he is a really nice and good guy. We are also pretty darn busy right now, so its not the best timing. But once he heard that Zach was joining the Navy and that we were going to move home until the boot camp and stuff he told me that I was making the right decision. The hardest part will be telling Mitch and Donna. But my mom sounds very excited (and Kristen.. well I THINK she might be too :) )
By the way, this being sick stuff.. the word "sick" doesn't do it justice. I was dying. On my death bed. Writing my will. I have never been so light headed in my life. I couldn't walk 10 feet at times without getting light headed. I was literally glued to my couch all three days. Besides having mono I can't think of the last time I was even close to that sick. The light headedness was the biggest problem for me getting to work and stuff, but the incredible body aches, high fever and lovely sweating that goes along with it, nausea, headaches.. all of it. It was awful.
I think I got this lovely illness from Keira, because Zach and I babysat them this weekend. Mitch and Donna were going to Mammoth to ski with their friends, and the girls were supposed to go but since Keira had been sick a lot of the week and didn't want to go, they ended up asking us to babysit the girls Friday morning. Friday night we just hung out, knowing we had to rest up for our weekend ahead. I cooked the girls' dinners, because I'm a pro. I also made breakfast, including Kyla's sole meal of bacon. I'm so awesome. Saturday morning we went to Chinatown for dim sum and to get the girls toys (the ploy to get them to stay home). We happened to be there on the same day as the Chinese New Year parade. That made it crazy, and unfortunately we didn't get to see the parade because it got sooo packed while we were eating. The girls had a birthday party that night, which was great because that's when death started knocking on my door, this time in the form of a serious headache.
The next day we went to the zoo in the morning. Usually we go to the Santa Barbara zoo, but since it was the day of the Super Bowl we couldn't dedicate a full day to the trip. The LA zoo was better than I expected, and we had a great time. But it was HOT. Like I was concerned the girls were going to get overheated (and that I was going to). Fortunately, ICEE's saved the day. And delicious burritos. We also happened to be there during a special event.. they had put snow in a lot of the cages. Unfortunately we didn't get to see any of the animals playing in the snow, but we did get to see a seal or something sleeping in very weird positions, the walrus's getting treats and medication and feeding time in the gorilla cage. Awesome.
So, about a month from now I will probably have to start a new blog, because I will no longer be Caroline in Cali.
