Not So Very Bad

Yesterday, I woke up and said, "I think I'll just stay in bed." My cold took a turn for the worse, so I spent most of the day under a thick pile of blankets on a soft mattress. Some of the children wandered into my room to do their school work, but I still got the rest I needed.

By late afternoon, I felt I should get up and do something other than forage for food and hot tea. This need was precipitated by the fact that the washer repair man was coming. (By the way, it was yet another sock and piece of a pair of windbreaker pants clogging my front-loading washer. HOW do they get in there?)

TGD brought pizza home for supper, and Libby made a salad. It was a tasty start to Sibling Night. We played Spinergy and Catch Phrase and had a good time with the opening of presents. Afterward, we all watched Nathan's present, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. We snacked on popcorn and milkshakes/Blizzards made by my dear husband.

So, all in all, the day was not so very bad!

Dec. 20, 2006 - Sorry you are ill

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

I received your little parcel today. Thank you very much! Now I am looking at your address, and the map, and trying to find out if a visit in the future is possible--and I can't find you on the map.

Blessings,

Dec. 22, 2006 - Shopping

Posted by OurLittleSchoolRoom

You don't look like you are so far off the map that a visit would be impossible. Do you ever visit Niagara Falls? We are about 2 1/2-3 hours NW of there. (A bit far out of the way for most--but you could camp in our yard, and there is lots to do up here--if you like the outdoors.)

How was your shopping today? I would love to go shopping with my Mom, without kids. I just don't know if she would have the energy for a full day of it.

Blessings,
Karen
