Norma Met Opera
Genevieve ad I went on Saturday morning to cineplex theatre to see the met opera live. We went last year to a few, we hope to be able to attend more this year.
The first in this years production list was Norma. We both didn't have great expectations, as we have never heard of Norma before. We were thankful that there is a program they give you, that has a summary. It is nice to read these before you so you can become a little more familiar with the piece, so you can appreciate it a little more.
Genevieve and I both appreciate that the live in HD versions you get subtitles. Definitely helps us understand a little better. We also really liked the intermission as they have interviews and behind the scenes descriptions. You would not get these if you were in New York watching.
Genevieve's voice teacher usually goes to the concerts as well, she said next one she would like to sit beside Genevieve so she can give Genevieve tips as it is happening. I am the youngest one in attendance everytime, besides Genevieve... Everyone has a full head of white hair, compared to my 1/4 head. There is one this weekend but we will have to miss it even though we would really like to see this one as Genevieve has her youth choir performance.
Thanksgiving
We went up to my parents house in Hope to make thankgiving dinner for them, and stay the night. Man I was so tired this weekend. And I think I may know why now, in that everyone else is sick.
Sickness
Genevieve has a cold. She woke up Monday and still did her school work and all the dishes before I even woke up. I went downstairs and was surprised to see the dishes done. I had to think to myself if I had actually done them and forgot. I went to go thank Genevieve and she was doing her school work. I didn't tell her it was a holiday.
Nathan woke up Monday feeling like death. He had nausea on Sunday. He reports that it is different from a migraine. But he has been pretty useless, laying around for a few days. No school out of Nathan, but you know he is probably sick when I told him fine if your too sick for school your too sick for electronics, and he gladly gave up his electronics. He is feeling a little better now and reading a book.
So I am guessing Nathan will have to wait until later in the week for his chemistry test. He also has hockey Wednesday and Saturday, so I am not sure how that will go when he is under the weather. I am guessing that the hockey may be all he can handle this week.
As for me, I am exceptionally tired, but so far do not have any other symptoms, mothers always get sick last though, after our systems are beat and bombarded by the sickies we are taking care of.
