Feeling Better

I still have the boys cold that they gave me(aren't they so sweet to share ugh).  Only I seemed to have gotten it worse then they did.  How come when they had it, it was just sniffles with a little  bit of a cough?  They were still able to function and still enjoy the day.

Me not so much.  It all started the morning of Thanksgiving (So thankful for my boys for this. You do know I am being sarcastic right? LOL) morning when I woke up.  At first it was just the sniffles but as the day wore on it totally wore me out.  Especially since we were at our Pastors house eating and just enjoying everyone's company.  It was nice but man was I beat when we got home (more so than I would have been had I felt better.)

The next day as I have said was at my bil and sil's home to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Again I didn't feel all that well but I made it through that but again was exhausted when we came home.

Saturday we didn't go any where which was good because I felt pretty yucky and Sunday I made it to church but still felt really bad.

Today I  am thankfully feeling better but not 100% and of course tomorrow is off to the Laundromat to do laundry.  I would love to just be able to take a week off to recuperate from Thanksgiving LOL. 

I just don't get why I seemed more effected by this illness then the boys did?  Man I want their immune systems LOL.  Don't worry I haven't sneezed or coughed on this blog and my hands have been washed so I shouldn't be able to pass it to you LOL.  Sure I like to share but I will try and keep this illness from anyone else LOL.  I hope every one had a good day.

I am feeling much better than I have been feeling. I actually feel human!! For a while there I was wondering LOL. Still not 100% but am up to 90% better now. Ugh it's nice to feel well again. I don't what it was but it hit me hard!

Anyway yesterday I had a Calendar Planning meeting with the MOMS Club® at a park. I didn't take the boys with me though because even though they haven't gotten what I had so far I didn't want to chance that they would spread it to the other kids. I have been a nurses aid before and I seen how fast an illness can spread. So I am really picky when it comes to spreading germs. I have to carry hand sanitizer with me because if we go to stores and touch a cart I have to use it to not only clean my hands but I even put some on the cart handle LOL. Then I use it again on my hands when I park the cart LOL. Anyway I am getting off track LOL. So I spent a couple hours there planning next months calendar and chatting with the other moms.

After coming home we didn't do too much. Just had the boys finish up some school work that we didn't get to before I had left. Other than that we didn't do anything. Which is good since I was still not feeling all that well. Today has been much the same. Only I didn't go any where. Harlow actually did grocery shopping for me while I stayed home and schooled the boys.

Tomorrow I am going to return some books to the Library and take the boys too so they can pick out some books and have a chance to play around there. Well other than that not much going on. I am just trying to feel 100%. How is your week been?

I am happy to report that my shoulder/neck is feeling much better today! It's still a little stiff but no more sharp pain! I am hoping by tomorrow I will feel all better! Anyway today was the monthly meeting (see post below) and that went well. I got everything that needed to be there and I even got the minutes emailed out to everyone when I got home :). It's funny how I can be so lazy with house cleaning (my house isn't nasty dirty or anything and I just did a good late spring cleaning to it LOL.) but when it comes to doing things like that I like to get it done and out there. I guess it's because that's the kind of worker I am. Even when I was a working mom (I quit working when Chord was 2 and 1/2 and Jarod was 6 months old) I would go to work (Cabela's at the time) and get it over and done with. There are two things when I am in work mode that I obsess over LOL. (1.) I hate being late (even when I am not working but need to be some where ). I feel most comfortable if I am 15 mins. to a half hour early. If I can be thier earlier I would LOL. I am so obsessed about it that I even got a comment from our dentist office LOL when I was there about a half hour early lol. I guess it's not usual for people to be early for the dentist LOL. The other than I obsess over (2.) is knowing what needs to be done and start working on it right away. I don't like to even take breaks till I know I am done with something or know I can spare a break because I am ahead. Now with house work this depends LOL. When I get in a cleaning mode I have to get to it and get it done. If I am not in that mode than you can forget it LOL. Thankfully since I just went through my cleaning mode my house isn't in total disarray but it does need to be cleaned LOL. I'll get to it tomorrow though :).



Anyway off that subject and on to another (yes I know I ramble a lot LOL). I forgot to tell you all Wednesday on our way to the car show, we went to we noticed just down the road from us someone had left a school desk beside the road. But we didn't have time to stop so Harlow said if it was there when we came back we would pick it up. Sure enough it was still there so we put it in our jeep and took it home. It's in pretty good condition. A little rust (I cleaned what I could off) on the bottom and on the legs but otherwise nice! I was excited to get it LOL. Have I mentioned that I am a nerd when it comes to schooly (is that even a word? LOL) things? Hmm maybe that's why I homeschool the boys? LOL. Anyway here's a pick of it. Please don't mind the background too much. The room is also their play room since they share a room right now and it's a small room so they can't fit everything in their room LOL. Anyway sorry here is the pic of the desk.

Jarod will have a plastic desk that my mom got them a long time ago (before we even knew we were going to homeschool) and Chord can have this one. All though they like to go back and forth right now LOL. Oh well at least they are sharing LOL.

Ok now I am switching the subject again on you LOL. Are you dizzy yet? LOL. Anyway today my mom came over for a bit and gave us some pics she copied (she also gave us the original but it's in a frame and I didn't want to take it out) from Harlow's Senior Pictures :). I and he were in them. We used to have more of his pics but they were lost in the fire :(. But it's cool that she gave us two copies for each boy and gave us the original. So here is a copy of a copy of that pic LOL. Sorry if it's grainy but I just didn't want to take the original out of the frame and all. I hope you enjoyed my ramblings. LOL.
