I'll Just Watch You Have Fun

Finally, the first day in 2 weeks that I have felt better........not perfect but better. I finally have "a" voice now (not my voice and definitely not a man's voice but hey, it's better than not being able to talk at all). Peaches is finally temperature free but not cough free. She missed 4 days of school this week. I finally broke down and missed 1 day of work. Peaches was well enough today to go to the park and "watch" the kids play. We even took her bike that she insisted we take. She got on her bike then back off....she stayed on for a total of 10 seconds. I guess that was enough fun. After about 40 minutes at the park she was ready to leave. She then fell asleep on the way home. I guess that was exhausting watching all those kids have fun. We then came home and John and I worked in the yard raking leaves until we ran out of bags. DARN! He is now enjoying a ride on the bike, Peaches is at a friends house playing and I am paying bills. Now, that's a productive Saturday.

Honey, your not too sick to clean are you?

Yeah, that is what John implied tonight. I came home from work so exhausted, I wasn't able to talk and was freezing cold. All I wanted was my meds, some food and my pajamas. He then expected me to clean the kitchen after he fixed dinner. I do appreciate him cooking, I truly do......but to clean up the mess? After trying to argue with him in my angry whisper, I guess I won because he cleaned the kitchen. He actually said that I wasn't sick. He would have a hole through his chest if my eyes could have burned one right through him. Just to prove how sick I was I had a coughing attack and nearly chocked on Flem. I already took my "knock-me-out cough medicine" and I am waiting for it to kick in. Good night everyone.

Are we ever going to get better?

Georgia's been tagged. She has something "viral" and it has hit her pretty hard, 104 temperature and congestion hard. She is on her second nap in 3 hours. She woke up long enough to use the restroom, take her meds, take a sip of juice then she was out again. John is also asleep, not because he is sick.....he's just being lazy. I am still waiting for my doctor to call me in another prescription because it is so obvious that the first one did not work. Believe it or not, I have been going to work everyday. Today has been the first day that I haven't been able to talk to customers on the phone (not because I don't want to, but because they wouldn't be able to hear or understand me). I would have to explain that yes, my name is Laura and I am a female. I know I don't sound like one, but trust me). I have the "sexy" flem going as Phoebe would say (Phoebe from Friends). And I actually do sound better when I sing!! That's something to be positive about right? So, we are hoping that we can get over this crap soon because I am tired of feeling tired. (Oh, I would have posted a picture of Georgia asleep in the recliner with her mouth hanging wide open but that probably would have made her upset when she found out). Laura

Chicken & Rice Soup For The Soul

Thank you to the wonderful Temple family who brought us the most delicious wild rice, chicken and corn soup we have ever tasted. I truly believe that the soup (and bread and cake) made me feel better. Today is the best I have felt in 4 days. We only have enough left for one helping (which will be lunch tomorrow). Thanks again, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Laura

It's Grave Digger!

Why yes, it is as loud as it sounds in the video. Someone likened it to playing with cars in a bathtub...wait, that's too big. It's like playing with trucks in a large mixing bowl. For a nice contrast, watch "Monster Jam" on Speed channel every weekday morning around 7am. They do this thing properly in a stadium, not a basketball court. My advice...don't shell out for the expensive tickets if you're going to see it at the Colonial Life Arena Sponsored by Shell-Mobile-Exxon, starring Billy Bob.....just pay for the cheaper tickets, there's really not a bad seat in the house.
