Sickness
Loading ...I just got back from teaching my little ballerinas this morning- is cold day out with a new snowfall! Yea! We have been waiting for some more snow since everything was getting so black and dirty looking. I took Michael with me to class today because the usual sitter’s son has a high fever. Since we have been trying to get over this month long sickness, I was happy not to bring him over there. I have literally been sick for a month- stuffy/runny nose, cough, and fatigue. I think we picked up a case of the flu and it has been morphing. Sure makes me grateful for good health. After Michael had a fever a few weeks back we took him in to the doctor and he got an antibiotic which I faithfully gave him, except for when I was supposed to wake him up at 11:30pm to give him another dose. After the 10 days were over, he seemed great, I didn’t give him his morning dose. Bad idea. He’s been right back with the same thing again. Guess the doctor really means it when you are suppose to give him all of it. So now I’ve been waking him up every night- so much fun let me tell you. I hope he gets better.
After ballet class today I was all ready to head out to pick up some new ballet shoes, since mine have a nice little hole in the right toe, but then after trying to get directions and Michael began crying in the car, I just didn’t want to get Michael out and back into the car again with all the snow. So I’ll just have to wear my holey shoes again one more time as I teach the adult class tonight and again until I pick up a new pair. Has anyone had success with ordering shoes online? Dan says you can try them on and ship them back if they are the wrong size, but is it really worth it?

I’ve bought many pairs of shoes online. I’ve sent back maybe 2 or 3 of those for exchange/return. It does cost me money to ship them back, but I always estimate the risk into the decision to order online. How much is it worth it to me to be able to shop from the house–how far would I have to drive to find what I want–how much hassle is it to load kids into the car–how badly do I need/want the shoes, and how soon–etc. It’s up to you, but I’ve had good success. My most recent success story is a beautiful pair of leather dress boots that I got for $40, reduced from $99! Good luck. I don’t know how standard toe shoes are, but if you’ve always bought the same size, you’d probably be okay ordering online. Just choose a familiar brand.
