So much for vacation

We had been planning for quite some time to take the girlies to Disney this month. That didn't happen because our lovely roof started showing signs of leaking in October. Turned out to be the sunlight in the bathroom and not the roof, but it's still an expensive fix.

Then we had planned on taking a mini-vacation to Baltimore, and that was the reason for Dan being off this week. We had planned on leaving yesterday and seeing the aquarium and the awesome children's museum that we love there, and seeing the Disney on Ice show there on Friday. We figured Disney on Ice was better than no Disney at all. Turns out we will have to try for the Disney Princesses on Ice show coming here in April because of the story that is our life.

I started feeling some sort of strange feeling behind my ears yesterday. No idea what it is, but it eventually led to my entire throat being swollen by 9pm last night. My lymph glands are about the size of tennis balls, and the best way I can describe my appearance is to picture Joey from 'Friend's' when he was wearing the "fat suit" in one episode. If I didn't already like looking in the mirror before last night, it's even more unsightly now. I think my face has gained about 5 pounds! I did go to the doctor this afternoon, and they immediately sent me to the lab for bloodwork. Hopefully they'll tell me something soon, and I'm hopeful this swelling goes away very soon. It's quite uncomfortable.. not to mention, unsightly.

If my condition were not enough, they are also calling for about a foot of snow starting tomorrow afternoon. The Baltimore trip just wasn't meant to be. Hopefully we can still manage to get out to Harrisburg tomorrow to take the girls to a science museum that looks pretty cool, and if not we'll just have to wait for the inevitable snow tubing and sledding fun that should be Saturday for these little ladies.
