I think I am going to Live.

I am feeling better today. You should have seen me. I almost had Hayley take a picture of just my eyes because I have never seen any so RED. They were so bloodshot and swollen that I could hardly see and light made them hurt, so I sat around in the dark for 2 days watching TV. I don't really like tv but I did a day of HGTV, with What not to wear, 10 Yrs. younger, etc. Boy was that fun. I want to go out and buy new clothes and make up now.

Today we are going to my MIL for my birthday. It is not until Tuesday but it works better for everyone to get together on weekends. I am pumped, she is the best cook around and I can't wait to have her cake. I don't know what kind it will be but she doesn't make anything bad (well unless it has coconut in it because I don't like coconut). Plus I don't have to worry about what to cook tonight. Or tomorrow because we are getting together at my mothers for another celebration. I love living close to family for family celebrations, it is just a fun time to get together and enjoy each other company.

The photo above is of the full moon that I saw out my back window the other night. I know it is nothing fantastic but I thought it was likd of pretty. I am off to rest some more, I hope my ears will pop soon. I hate to feel like I am in a tin can.

Just Shoot Me!!!

This has been one ugly week for us. Last week Maggi was sick with a cold or allergies but recovered in a couple of days. Scott then got it a couple of days later (you would have thought he was dying). Then Hayley came down with the same thing. Runny nose, coughing, feeling just plain yucky. I had to take her to the Med Center Wednesday night because she was almost in tears with a ear ache. This child hardly ever complains so I knew something was up. Yeap her cold turned into a ear infection. Well you can guess what happened next. I now have it and I am feeling like CRAP. Mine started out with a ear that was plugged, which is no biggy but I called the Dr. yesterday because it was beginning to wear on me after 4 days of not being able to hear out it. I would walk down the hallways at school sideways so I could hear. That was a site. Well anyways they could get me in this morning at 8:00, cool. Last night I had a hard time falling asleep because my other ear was now plugged also and yucky stuff was coming out of both. Sorry for the graphics. So I finally got to sleep with a little help of a sleep aid to only wake up at 5:00am not able to breath out of my nose, my eyes where glued shut and I couldn't hear out of either ear. So off to the Dr. I go. I have a sinus infection, 2 ear infections and pink eye. Oh did I tell you how much I love working with kids. They love to share. Thanks for letting me vent. I am off to the couch again and watch some TV. I wonder what is on Friday nights. Probably not much since I have the time.

Deep Breathe

***What A Weekend***It was Homecoming weekend. So that involved a football game Friday night. And that was after a very busy week and I would have just loved to sit by the fire or scrapbook. What mood I was in at the time. But nope that wasn't going to happen. Right now it is 7:00 pm and this is actually the first time I have sat down to take a break almost all weekend. Yesterday it was run around to get this or that that was forgotten. You know things like, oh mom I need hairspray, OK honey is there anything else you need while I am at the store. NO. OK I get home, I'm doing dishes, MOM I need razors, Oh honey just go get some out of my drawer, NO I don't like yours. Ok off to the store. Get home. Mom did you pick up the bootener (spelled wrong-I don't know how to spell it). Oh crap back into the car. But I am going to go to the store and then pick Maggi up at a birthday party so I will be back in about at 1/2 hour. OK. As I am pulling out of the garage my garage door is coming down. Yeap you guessed it. BAM. oh poop. I was vaccuming out the car earlier in the day and must of shut the release for the door in the car door so when I was backing up it was released. But luckily it was only 2 little dents in the back of the car and one dent in the garage door, and they both work fine so I am good to go. Get the razor blades which I find out are $10 bucks for 4 stinkin blades. Good thing I love this child. Pick up Maggi only for her to start to cry as soon as we are in the car. I guess one of her so called friends pulled a trick on her. They wanted what Maggi got as a prize and asked to trade. So she does only to trade a mini make-up kit for a bite size trizzler. So when Maggi mentions to this girl that is not a fair trade she is told "NO TRADE BACKS". OK I make a mental note to deal with this later. I get home only to find out that the plans for dinner and pictures has changed AGAIN. Take a deep breathe. No biggy. Then I hear some muffled whining coming from the bathroom. The princess's hair is not cooperating. I am not a hairdresser, and you asked me to cancell your hair appt. because you wanted to do it yourself. Take another deep breathe. OK I hear from the closed bathroom door, I am just going to straighten it and wear my big headband. Cool because I think that would look best with your dress anyways. MOM can you drive tonight, so and so's parents won't drive now. Another deep breathe. YES. Time is closing in (thank god). I get her over to her dates house and get photos, yahoo, take them to dinner and then her dates parents are going to be doing the rest. Today I get up and it is laundry day, I made a deal with dh last week because now that I am working full time I think that it is only fair that he enjoy these moments. It was his turn to do the laundry. He was gone fishing all day yesterday so it is only fair, RIGHT. Well guess what, he went fishing AGAIN today. Another deep breathe, I think I am going to pass out from all the deep breathe. I am going to look for some cheap weekend getaway for next weekend and not tell anyone where I am going. But to let you know that I did make it thru I am posting some photos of yesterday and let me say I am very proud of Hayley.

Well it looks like I am going to have to post photos later. Check back for chapter 2.
