I don’t know about all the other moms out there, but I tend to take care of all the kids and put aside myself.  I’ve been feeling poopy for awhile.  Dylan got a cold, gave it to Shelby, then gave it to Ethan and in turn passed it to me.  Last weekend turns out Dylan and Ethan had ear infections.  Thankfully Shelby still has tubes in her ears, so things have been smooth with her.  Now to me… Thursday I started to feel pretty bad, by Friday worse yet, Friday afternoon I was pretty sure my head was going to explode, lol, but opted to “wait it out.”  I spent my night on the couch watching QVC, coughing and holding my head begging for the throbbing to stop. :P   The begging didn’t work and daylight came, along with it the realization that I needed to see a doctor.  Crap.  In the end I left with an antibiotic, sterioid, and a nosespray… ear infection, sinus infection and bronchitis, oh my.

Now just to give those of you that don’t know Denny and I well or how we get along, (which generally is very well), here was his response….  “Does your face hurt?  Cuz it’s killing me!”  All I could do was stare at him.  And no, he didn’t come up with that clever bit himself.  He got it from me, and I got it from my Dad, lol.  So really, all I could do was take it and grin.  Denny seemed pretty pleased that he got one on me, and considering he was going to be picking up the slack around the house cuz I’m sick, I decided to let it go.  :P

The point of this story, and a lesson I need to take to heart, is that I need to take better care of myself and not just the kids and husband.  Now I’m so sick I can’t go see my Dad as he rests at home, and frankly, I miss my Dad.  :(

It’s now 6:27 PM and I still don’t have my use your stash challenge layout for January done.  Nice huh.  Such a small goal and I got nuttin’.  I still have time, but I just don’t see it.  Send me out some good vibes people….

OH… and a Happy Birthday to Miss. Madison!  She turned the ripe old age of 7 on the 29th.  And I was at the hospital with my Dad that day, so I missed my chance to send her a shout out.  So again, Happy Happy Birthday to you Madison.
