Sick again

[MOmomof8]

I have had a cough that I can't get rid of but today it got the best of me.  I still did most of the things I needed to do but I also took a few naps.  Every time I sat down to drink a glass of water & watch a little TV I fell asleep.  I did go to breakfast with my dh.  The school district had a breakfast for all the bus drivers & their families.  We had scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits & gravy, coffee, while milk, chocolate milk & orange juice.  I love bacon so a had alot of it.  I don't care for biscuits & gravy so I had butter & grape jelly on mine.  Of course I had chocolate milk.  It was nice visiting with the other drivers, I think I was the only spouse that was there.  When we were done there, we went to a few yard sales.  Didn't find anything good.  As always we ended up at Walmart.  My dh bought me a new outfit.  My jeans are beginning to fall off of me when I get up or after I've been walking.   I don't want to buy any clothes right now but I do need atleast one outfit that fits right for our trip.  When I lose maybe 10 more pounds I will be able to fit into some of my old clothes.  I have clothes of different sizes but not for the size I am now, how strange is that.  I guess I put some weight on to fast to so I skipped a size or two.  The last time I did that, I was pregnant with Nick, my 23 year old.  I went from a size 11 to a size 15 the first month I was pregnant with him & didn't know it yet.  I was glad I was pregnant instead of getting fat....lol 

When we got home I paid some bills & played on the computer for a short time.  Danielle called & asked me to come get her.  So I sat down to drink a glass of water & out I went.  Brandi left & she said I asked her to go pick up Danielle.  I don't remember doing that & when I woke up I jumped up, grabbed my purse & went upstairs to let everyone know where I was going.  They looked at me like I was crazy & told me that she was already here.  She came into the kitchen & thanked me for picking her up.  My dh said I was talking in my sleep & he could actually understand what I was saying but forgot what it was.  He asked me what I said while I was asleep & I told him I didn't know.  So I took Danielle to drop off some job apps & she bought me a coke.   When we came home we played on the computers.  Elias wanted to play too but he wasn't allowed.  He is such a cutie but I know I say that about all my grandkids.  He just turned 1 & he is a screamer.  What is with babies these days be screamers?  He's still cute, he doesn't scream all the time.  My dh made chilli & boy was it spicey hot.  But Elias liked it.  He is so much like his dad, it's like having Nick little again. 

I sat down to watch my Friday evening shows & had a really hard time staying awake.  Danielle helped me stay awake.   We have to get up early in the morning bc my dh has to take some band members to Sikeston.  This time I'm driving my car so we can leave the bus parked.  The band is the only group that insists the bus stay put.  We won't be home until late tomorrow night like at 9 or 10.  We are taking Rose with us but when Brandi gets off work she will meet us & take Rose home with her.  So I'll get to have 2 meals out tomorrow.  The school pays for my dh & so we only have to pay for my meals. 

On Vetern's Day I took my dh, Brandi, Rose, Nathan & myself out to eat at Applebee's.  They had the deal where a Vet eats free.  It was nice being out as a family.  The only thing that would've made it better is if all our kids could have been with us. 

I have some of my Christmas shopping down.  I have my oldest son & his wife done & my 8 year old granddaughter done.  I finally got JJ's birthday taken care of.   I also spent part of yesterday cleaning off my desk & organizing it yet again.  Maybe this time it will stay organized.  I was looking for a notebook my mil gave us to copy 2 years ago that I have yet to finish with.  I was going to make 4 copies of it so each of the boys could have one.  Then surprise her next week by taking it back to her.  The problem I am having is a very common one of mine, I put it in a safe place & now can't remember when I put it.  That's why I reorganized again.  Hopefully when I reorganize the printers, cart & bookcase I'll find it.  I don't know what I will do if I don't.  It was the only copy of their family history they had.  I think I'll put it on a disc too, just in case.  I had no idea I had so many picture frames without pictures in them.  I have a ton of pictures to go in them as well.  I think I'm going to take down all the photos & reorganize them.  I want family pictures on the walls going up the stairs.  I was waiting for my dh to take the paneling down & put up sheetrock but I give up,  I'm tired of waiting so I'll just hang them any way.  I wanted to reorganize our bathroom this week but got to busy going places & doing things.  Maybe Sunday or one day next week.  No, it will be the following week.  I have laundry to do & packing to do.  I don't like to multi-task so I will wait for when I have the day to organize.  Maybe I'll have material for the curtain by then.  I'm decorating with lighthouses bc my dh collects them so I thought we would display them in the bathroom, close to water, get it?   I thought it would be hard to find stuff with lighthouses but Walmart came out with all kinds of stuff, then there is even more on the internet.   There are alot of kitchen stuff with lighthouses too but I decided on the bathroom only instead.

Kids are so funny.  Elias was by my desk & trying to help me type.  Then he saw some cool stuff he wanted to play with but I wouldn't let him.  He is very headstrong.  I finally had to smack his hand & so he went to his mommy complaining about it.  He didn't cry he just had this look.  She hugged him & everything was fine after that.  He will walk by me & turn with this big smile on his face, then he turns around to go to his mommy.  For those of you who can remember how Nick was at that age, well, Elias is the same way, up his mommy's butt.  She can't leave the room without him, just like his dad was with me.  I thought his dad would never leave me.  When he turned 18 he surprised me & moved 400 miles away to live with his dad.  That lasted only a year.  Then he lived with his big brother & his wife.  That didn't last long either.  He ended up back home with me.  Then earlier this year he moved 60 miles away with his girlfriend & baby.  Now he is thinking about moving 400 miles away again, to his dad's.  I don't mind him being 60 away but I don't want him 400 miles away.  It seems I'm the one with the seperation problem now.  But he's my baby & like a mother hen I want my little chicks close.

Well, that's all for tonight.
