Finally, I am mostly free of the creeping crud. I can talk in my normal voice again, I’m only coughing occasionally. I got housework done today!!
Whoever thought I’d see the day that I was HAPPY I’d managed to do housework? There is just something inherently wrong with that statement.
I’m glad to get back to the blog, although I feel like I need some oil for my blogging joints. Amazing how being away for just a few days makes that first few posts so difficult to follow through on.
I’m working on a few posts about my dreams/goals for 2011 – but I dare not call them resolutions (I can’t keep one of those to save my life). I’m working on posts about the kids (all three)…where they are now what they’re struggling with, or we’re struggling with.
But I’m also working on projects outside the blog so I’m distracted and trying to refocus (part of the whole goals thing).
So in the meantime, before this becomes an entire post of nothing, here’s just a few random tidbits:
* Our Christmas tree is still up. My plans to take it down last week were thwarted and thus, it remains.
* Three years later I’m finally being a good wife. I’ve ordered some books about diabetes & recipes. We’ll be making meal plans from those. I’ve also sort of crafted a bento box for him until I can afford a real one. He’s in heaven having his food compartmentalized (did we mention we thing Riley got her autism from him 😉 )
* I’ve always quietly snickered and/or rolled my eyes at the raves of the Snuggie in the twitterverse…but, um…I HAVE ONE. Yup, and I LOVE IT.
* We were BLESSED with many many clothes for the girls for Christmas. Their dressers are full again and I am so grateful.
* We had a beautiful white Christmas here in Indy…and now it is snowing again. I am one happy Buffalo-born gal.
* My oldest is turning 13 in 2 weeks. I’m feeling OLD.
* I saw (most of) Wicked back in December. It was good, but I couldn’t enjoy myself…and I didn’t see the end because I wanted to get back to the hospital…but then I had to go back and…well, that’s a story for another day. Maybe I will have a chance to see it again one day.
* Given the choice of a computer, an iPod, or a DSLR camera (a low-cost model) for his belated present – Brandon is leaning toward the camera….that’s my boy 😉
* Did you know that it’s much easier to see the bright side and be pleasant when you aren’t sick? No, really…IT IS!!
That’s it for now. Hopefully I’ll be back in the swing of things here in no time. I’m pushing through the last of the ick, and trying to write (much more than blog posts). I’m also finishing up a design for a new blog…not mine, but a good friends’. I’m very excited for it…I’ll be sure to give you the URL when it’s done!!
So glad you are finally feeling better. Now, NO MORE SICK! That’s an order.
