AND IT'S FINALLY ARRIVED........

I've been feeling kinda crummy for the past few days, but I woke up this morning and what do you know???
I HAVE A COLD!!!

"Run for the hills", she's got a cold. *sigh*. Actually, I WANT to run away. Is there anything worse than a sick mommy???
And why does it seem that the minute I'm sick with something, anything, the kids really act out???

I would love to get ahold of the "Kid Memo", something that has bypassed all parents. Oh I'm sure it's chock full of interesting things like:

#1 When your parent has a headache, proceed to run around the house emitting high pitched shrieks.

#2 When it's dinner time, turn your nose up at the food while saying "I don't want it, it's yucky", it will make your mommy feel wonderful.

#3 When in a car while mommy or daddy or driving, fight with your sibling as much as possible, yell at each other, scream, throw a few slaps, anything goes.

Now I can't say for sure, but I'm betting that those are in there. My personal favorite is the one about the telephone. If you want your kids to just appear out of nowhere, pick up the phone and pretend to talk. It always works in my house!!!

We have some sort of cold front moving into the area, and there's actually supposed to be snow on the mountains..... The mountains that are not that far from here. I can tell it's going to be a cold cold winter.

I have my coffee pot full and ready for the day, I'm trying to stay awake. It's not that I went to bed late, but for some reason the past week has been exhausting. Oh I'm sure me coming down with this cold has had a lot to do with it, but nevertheless, it's frustrating to lay down, close your eyes, only to have the alarm ring 5 minutes later. That's what it feels like at least.

So I have hot coffee, lots of it, and some Chocolate Muffins warm out of the oven. Anyone want to come join me???
We'll just relax on the couch, coffee in hand, and chick flicks on the tv. My kind of day!!!

Last night my hubby and kids were being all cute, and I turned real quick and snapped a pic. It came out blurry, I know I know, you would think that by now I would be an expert at taking pics, but oh well........anyway, this is the pic and though it's blurry, I just LOVE it. Had to share, I'm sure the family wants to see.

So here in two weeks, Curt goes back to midshift. It's the horrible horrible shift that I really don't like. He goes in at night and gets home in the morning. The problem isn't the time he's at work, after all, we're sleeping. The thing is, he gets home and has to go to bed, so now becomes the struggle. How do you keep a 3 year old and two active pugs, quiet during the day????

My MIL started her chemotherapy on monday, she's doing good but feeling really tired and worn out. I know it's a normal symptom of the chemo. Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts, I really do appreciate it.

You know I've been blessed to have such a wonderful MIL. Before I got married I would hear the horror stories, seemed that everyone I talked to had a problem with theirs, I think it instilled a fear in me. LOL
But I'm lucky, she's such an amazing lady, so strong and so courageous, truly a blessing.

Oh before I forget, see my blogroll on the left there??? I read all of those blogs, every morning, regardless of whether you have a new post or not, I check in every day. Unfortunately though, there's still some of you that have your blogs set to not accept anonymous comments, which means.....*drum roll* I CAN'T COMENT!!!
It's really frustrating, I want so badly to say hi, or comment on your posts and blogger won't cooperate. Just remember that I'm reading even if you haven't heard from me in a while.

Well my head is pounding and I have to start a load of dishes, yes they came and fixed it so now it actually washes the dirty stuff off. I'm thrilled, I've been using up dishes just so I can wash them and see the results LOL

I got a couple of things to do around the house, and then I need to head to the commissary and the Airman's Attic. You all help yourselves to some coffee and a muffin, and go ahead and stay a while, I don't mind at all, just as long as you close the door on your way out.

BTW, you might want to wipe your monitors after reading this, I wouldn't want my cold to transmit over to anyone else.
