summer is almost over.....

today feels like a nice early Fall day. sun is out and a slight breeze is blowing. the air is cool but not too cold to need a sweater. just a beautiful day out.

got all of kiddos school supply shopping done this morning. $61.00 lighter but lots to show for. im just hoping we got everything she needs even though we got everything on her list there always seems to be something else that is needed later. in addition to her normal supplies she needed....she wanted some things for her locker. this is her first year with a locker and im excited for her about this and pretty much gave in to all the little goodies she wanted to decorate it.

this past weekend i was hit with a wicked flu bug of some sort. it hit me mid day friday and by friday night i was down for the count. saturday i just felt ick all day and all i wanted to do was sleep. slept most of saturday away as well as sunday.

today im feeling almost back to normal. ALMOST. all i know is what ever i had it was bad and wiped me out big time for 48 hours.

my knee is still an issue....no changes with it.

nothing else much going on here. ok fine i lied. but the couple of things that are going on i would rather not put on here due to privacy issues....and well you know how that can be...some things just dont belong on the world wide web.

my step dad is home and doing ok. taking lots of meds and just taking one day at a time. my mom is frustrated with all she has to do at the house...taking care of my sisters 3 kids during the day as well as my stepdad. she is tired but like him...is taking one day at a time. thats all she can do. i just feel sad after talking to her cuz i hear it in her voice how tired, depressed, angry she is...its not her normal chipper way about her. this past year or so has really changed her attitude toward things that normally rolled off her back. so odd to have her this way.

lets see what else.....our 5 year wedding anniversary is coming up on the 30th. i have to say in reguards to my love life.....the past 5 years has been the best i have had in over a decade. he is the love of my life and im so glad i found him when i did.

enough mushy mush. hope all is well with you.
big hugs

First Post of 2007.....

HAPPY 2007!!!!

Im really hoping that going out of 2006 sick and coming into 2007 sick is a good sign. I am getting better with the flu part but now since i have been off my knee meds my knee is now officially killing me again. I went to the doctors yesterday morning and he told me that I did the right thing stopping the meds even though he is somewhat sure that I had the flu and to start the meds back up again once I feel better intestinally. I think today is the day. Im going to start off slow though....only 2 of the 3 pills for a few days and then back to normal. wish me luck! the doctor also pulled me from work for a few weeks until we get all this stuff straightened out with my guts and meds to say it nicely.

so as far as how i feel....lets just say im not redecorating the bathroom anymore and im eating more solid foods now. i did make the mistake the other night and ate some potstickers and not thinking about what was in them....cabbage! omg...i was so sick and in pain from the gas it created...felt like i was back to square one again with the flu. but by morning it had passed and new years morning was great.

did our usual new years thing.....cuddle up and watch all the new years eve shows on tv. i did however sleep from 8-11:30pm that night then managed to stay up until about 2:30 watching tv. then in the morning i was up at about 11am fixing breakfast for them and ready to watch the Tournement of Roses Parade. I have never missed the parade since as long as i could remember. I even went once when i was about 5 or 6 years old...i only remember getting up when it was still dark and taking a charter bus there and a bit of the parade. never as an adult did i want to conquer the crowds so i always watched it on tv.

kiddo is off to Mother in laws place for a couple days starting today so me and hubby get some alone time until friday afternoon when i go pick both kiddo and MI up. MI is going to then be staying with us for a couple nights and then we take her home sunday. cant take her to the flee market sunday like i normally do since the place had a major fire 3 weeks ago destroying the bowling alley and the hall that held the flee market.

I have decided to add something new to my blog. every week im going to post a list of Unconscious Mutterings. I came across Typical Woman (sue ellen) having them on her blog and decided to see what they were all about. when ever SueEllen has done it i try to see what my answer would be to those words and i find it very interesting that my answers change depending on the day and mood. here is my first and and there will be a new one each week.
