I'm Sick! I'm sick and so are several of my children. I'm sick and my house is trashed. I'm sick and I am sick of being sick!

Ok, whine over. LOL

Yesterday, (even though I'm sick) I had a birthday celebration planned for my daughter. I decided not to expose my family to our germs, so I cancelled the family party, but I still took my daughter in to get her pictures professionally done, and then on to build-a-bear workshop where we waited in line for 45 minutes. Good thing my husband was there to actually do the standing, because I couldn't do it. I found a place to sit for 45 minutes. DH was good about it a my sweet sugie got her teddy bear. Then, just as we were leaving the mall, I saw my sister at a nail salon with her daughter who is the same age as my dd. She offered to get her nails painted and bring her home afterwards. That was really nice for sweet sugie. (sugie is a funny spelling for sugar with an "ee" sound at the end in case your wondering.)

Then I went home and collapsed. DH made an attempt (cough cough) at lunch. I knew there was a special library program going on so I asked DH to take sugie (age 6) and my other dd (age 8). DH agreed even though he didn't seem too excited by the idea. I just wanted her day to seem special even if I couldn't get off the couch for most of it. LOL

They went to the program and when they returned DH told me how impressed he was. He said it was a lot of fun and would love to do more stuff like that. I was so happy he was able to spend some time with our girls in this way.

So Sweet Sugie's birthday is over for another year and I'm still sick. Wahhh. Ok whine over now.
