What an anticlimax! And how grotty that you both feel ill :(.

Your poor girl, flying with an ear infection. I want to say how I love how much you love your niece. Children can never have too many dedicated adults.</p> <p>YAYYYYY for your MIL. She was obviously showing you that she disagrees with him and it was an olive branch. As I am sure you realize, women in that culture just don't go against their husband's assessments. It was brave of her to reach out like that. Makes me feel all warm inside.</p> <p>That ring is beyond FABULOSITY !!!!! And of course we care about what happens to the Fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-526065 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:07:59 +0000 Anonymous 526065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sona, I hope you all have speedy recoveries! How wonderful that your mother-in-law reached out to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-526015 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:42:08 +0000 Jonesy 526015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a disaster! What is worse than traveling combined with being sick and having sick kids? But definitely a silver lining in terms of your MIL reaching out. I hope those antibiotics are working their magic and you are on the mend :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-526012 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:40:44 +0000 HelenInCanada 526012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feel better soon! Ooo la la, quite a gorgeous gift for your well-deserving self!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-526008 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:38:21 +0000 rae 526008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer about the germ fest, but at least you did not have to stress about your jeggings. In a way, this actually boiled the weekend down to the important basics: everyone caring for one another in a time of need. I hope the new development with your MIL is a sign of things to come - my experience is that MILs can sort of "steer the ship" from behind the scenes, even if the FILs have other ideas. </p> <p>Hope everyone is feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-525985 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:14:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 525985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well that's not much of a party, is it? Oh Sona...so sorry everyone got ill. It is a good sign though that your MIL reached out to you in such sweet ways - maybe this is the start of something better? Take care.</p> <p>Beautiful ring BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-525977 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:09:11 +0000 Claudia 525977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope everyone is feeling better. Glad you had some quality time with your family and MIL, though. Beautiful ring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-525974 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:06:19 +0000 catgirl 525974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that was a plan derailed! I am sorry everyone got sick. On the other hand, maybe some new bonds were forged with your MIL - I can't imagine that you're not a wonderful daughter-in-law in her eyes, and hopefully she can sway her husband's rudeness. Families can be so complex... Poor niece! I would be sobbing right along with her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-525971 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:03:19 +0000 lyn* 525971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, your niece is sooooo cute! Aww, it's too bad that everyone is sick! I am happy that it worked out for you with the forgotten jeggings! Yipes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-525967 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:00:57 +0000 Suz 525967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sona! I don't know whether to laugh or cry! I'm so sorry you are sick and your family members are sick, and so sorry that your sweet niece did not get the party she was hoping for. </p> <p>But at the same time, I'm glad your mother-in-law reached out in generosity and I hope that bodes good things for the future for your relationships with the in-laws. </p> <p>And wow, what a gorgeous ring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-weekend-update#post-525957 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:56:07 +0000 Sona 525957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the weekend turned out completely not per plan.</p> <p>My daughter and me were feeling crummy as we flew out. By the next morning my daughter had a middle ear infection and was started on antibiotics, i developed a high fever and a sinus infection and started antibiotitcs and my niece developed bacterial conjunctivitis and a bronchitis and also started antibiotics.</p> <p>So the birthday party was cancelled due to the germ fest. </p> <p>My Mother in law was staying over the first night ( she helps with my niece during the week) and reached out to me by cooking me my favorite eggplant dish and gifting me an amazing sequinned top and stylish jacket/buttonless sweater. I will model this on a date night in the future. Normally my MIL takes her cues from her husband and has been reserved and distant so this was a very warm surprise indeed.</p> <p>As it turned out our getting sick was a blessing in disguise because I had forgotten my Karen Kane jeggings that were the base for two planned outfits.</p> <p>So I have a token pic of my niece and me: she's crying because I'm leaving.....</p> <p>And I'm also including a pic of a new emerald color ( malachite) ring I purchased in honor of today's blog post.</p> <p>Thanks for reading and caring! </p>
