TGIF!!!
It was a gorgeous Friday!! The sun was shining, the tank is clean….. The end of Fall is right around the bend and the hints of winter are popping up. It was one of those crystal clear “Hood” days here at my house. The mountain just stood out big and bold w/ fresh snow dusting the bottom quarter. The sign that winter is indeed on it’s way. My poor Maggie came down with whatever it was that Anders had this whole entire week. Today, he finally went back to school, and when he came home from school today, he mentioned that when he walked in this morning, his teacher said,, “Look everybody, Anders has risen from the dead!!” It was an awful virus … and now Maggie has it. Winter time…. fun times…… I opted to get my flu shot on Tuesday (Veteran’s Day) when I took Anders in for his strep culture, as i was sure he had it. But it came out negative. Gives me hope for Maggie.
I got A LOT of stuff done today. A lot of stamping, a lot of invoicing, as Maggie, while home being sick, was passed out on the couch all day. She slept pretty much all day. It was a productive sort of sympathetic day. I hate it when my babies are sick. You feel so helpless. And I find that I’m probably being totally obnoxious.. i.e. ”Do you want Gatorade?”… NO,,,, “do you want some water with ice in it?”… NO… “how bout some french fries with ketchup?”….. Meanwhile sticking the thermometer in her ear every 10 mins…
I’m just crossing my fingers that I don’t come down with it,,, OR my husband for that matter, as I’m headed to Phoenix next week to see Coldplay with my friend, Heather. Knowing my luck, and if trend continues, I’ll be sick for the trip. I don’t think I’ve been on one trip or vacation in the last three years where I didn’t have a head cold. And one can only take so much airborne before the bowels start gettin’ all jiggy with it. Maybe I’ll get lucky. Maybe I’ve already had it. Or maybe the flu shot I got this week will prevail. We shall see. Hope you all have a good weekend. I’m hoping the rain continues to stay off the coast… much yard work must be done this week. Perhaps some bulb planting is in order….. I love the pretty red tulips….. g’nite..

After my computer crashed and finishing up my homework, I was just now able to come over to MGS and read your blogs. “THE SUN IS SHINING….THE TANK IS CLEAN!” That’s a perfect saying. Whatever will be will be…Got IT!!! The miles that keep us apart are so hard to accept, because I’d love nothing more than to be thrown in the middle of your daily life. Good luck with the move, and know we will be praying for you. Luvs ya.
