It Doesn't Get Any Worse Than This

Migraines
Sinus Infection
Ear Infection
Throwing Up

All at once.

I went to the doctor twice this weekend to get drugs.

Yuck.


Things I am thankful for this weekend:

1. My Husband. He stayed home late last night to help put the girls to bed before he went to work.
2. My Mom. She drove 2 hours last night to come help with the girls. She snuggled with Ella in the middle of the night so that I didn't have to get up.
3. My Kids. Brie was very compassionate about the throwing up and she tried very hard to be a good girl today. Both girls were thrilled to have their grandma out here today.
4. Drugs that take away the pain and let me eat food again.

Snow. Seriously?

Seriously? This is what I woke up to this morning. I am not impressed!!

7 Things

I was tagged by Tara to list 7 interesting things about me. I've been waiting for my brain to return from this cold, but so far it's not looking very hopeful. I'll just have to do my best anyways!!

1. I am a freebie/coupon fanatic. I frequent the Frugal Shopper discussion forum almost daily to get info about new sales/coupons/freebies. I used to enter the contests on there too but gave up because I never won anything ever. People often comment on where I get my freebies. I also am a Bzz Agent which lets me try stuff for free and sometimes share with other people too! The best freebie by far was the Sonicare Toothbrush, which was worth about $130! I love it and use it every day. I could talk for a long time about this stuff but I don't want to bore anyone. Just let me know if you want to hear more sometime.

2. I don't like being cold. I could easily become one of those snowbirds (aka retired people who travel wherever it's warm) for the rest of my life. Every day at home I am wearing my wool cardigan and my slippers. At night I also plug in my beloved heat dish (from Costco) to help keep me warm. Just call me granny, I guess!

3. I am a very restless person, always switching positions. I must drive everyone crazy at church if we sit on the same pew. John is used to it now but it used to bother him when he was trying to sleep and I was constantly rolling over.

4. I also get stir crazy easily. Unfortunately my girls also take on this trait. I can't wait until I am feeling better and then we will have a girls day in the city! We can go to some real stores (as opposed to the Saan here, or online shopping) and see some people.

5. I have a really hard time not singing out loud if music is playing and I know the songs. I think I have sung for most of my life and it's just become a big part of who I am.

6. I am terrified of wasps! I used to put bees into this same category but after gardening for several years I see that they really are quite harmless. Wasps, however, scare the crap out of me. I am the crazy person that you often can see in the summertime, running around in wild circles and waving her arms through the air, while shrieking. I have actually tried to tame this fear because of my girls and I have been quite successful. Unfortunately Brie has picked up the fear anyways.

7. My "J" personality is much stronger outside of home. I am still orderly about things, but not as obsessive about it when I am outside of home, at work for example. This means, my house is not always tidy like I think it should be, and I can't blame it all on the kids!

Well now I'm supposed to tag other people to do this meme.

That's all!

One Month Left!!

After waiting for years and years to get to see this amazing show, I only have exactly one month left to wait!

This even brings a smile to my face today after a pathetic attempt at sleep and feeling worse than yesterday.

I absolutely cannot wait any longer!

Pity Party

Sorry for my lack of posting this past week. My goal with this new blog was to have several new entries a week. So far I think I have been doing well. Until this week, that is. It's just seeming to go from bad to worse.

I mentioned before that Brie was getting pink eye in one of her eyes. It progressed into both eyes and then she got a really bad cold on top of it. Bad en0ugh that she was napping twice a day. She hasn't napped (other than when sick) since her 2nd birthday. So napping is a big deal. I had to decide whether or not to take her to her dance pictures on Thursday. Pink eye, runny nose....that should make for some beautiful pics! However I did decide to take her, this is her first year and I kinda had my heart set on doing a scrapbook page of it. What was 30 minutes of out our day? Well it was fine until about 10 minutes before her group was scheduled and I realized I didn't have her dance shoes with me. Fortunately we live in a small town so a drive home and back only takes 5 minutes. BUT I left her there in her costume. She was hysterical. The full out screaming terror that you never want to admit is your own child. Yep that was my girl. I left her with Cheryl, a lady from church, who has one of her older girls in dance. Brie was smiling when I returned, much to my relief! I'm not sure how the pictures will turn out though.

Then Ella got the pink eye and bad cold. She has been MIS-ER-A-BLE! I cannot stress this enough! Normally when she is sick, she is of course needy, like all kids are, but she usually keeps her fun-loving personality and enthusiasm. Not this time. She has been awful to deal with. So many tears for no reason, horrible sleeps, zero appetite. Awful!

We missed out on an Easter dinner at my mom's this weekend, plus my nephew's birthday party. The girls were so very disappointed. So was I, but I was not going to take 2 sick and miserable kids to the city by myself. No thanks, I would rather have some teeth pulled!

Now John and I are sick. It really stinks. His version of sick is more of the "suck-it-up" variety, not your usual "man-cold", which I greatly appreciate! It makes my being sick at the same time much more pleasant, if that is possible. I'm just really hoping and praying that I don't get the horrible cough that my girls have. I start up my new session of Music Pups this Friday and I obviously need my singing voice for it! Yikes.

Now to get back to resting.....
