YOWZA!  BRING ME THE CHICKEN SOUP, I'M SICK!

WHAT A ROUGH FIVE DAYS I'VE HAD....

.... HAD THE WORST COLD OF MY LIFE....REALLY!

SINCE LATE SATURDAY NIGHT I'VE HAD ON AND OFF FEVER, CHILLS, HORRIBLE COUGH THAT SENDS PEOPLE RUNNING FROM ME....AND, WHEN I COUGH LIKE THIS, I AM INSTANTLY REMINDED OF MY WEAK BLADDER, A MIGRANE, A SINUS HEADACHE,  SORE THROAT, THROWING UP  AND DID I TELL YOU ABOUT MY WEAK BLADDER FROM MY 5-LB BABY?

THINGS ARE LOOKING BETTER TODAY... I AM JUST SUFFERING FROM THE COUGH, SORE THROAT AND...UMM, YES, THE BLADDER...BUT ASIDE FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH, I FEEL 200% BETTER.

I'M SURE I WAS SENDING BRAD INTO DEPRESSION...I LOOKED LIKE GODZILLA'S BRIDE OR WORSE...I HAD HIS BIG, THICK MAN SOCKS ON, MIS-MATCHED CLOTHES AND HAIR, EVEN WILDER THEN NORMAL.

TOMMIE MANAGED TO GET A LOT OF PLAY TIME IN...BUT, ALSO DID SOME DRY, DULL BORING WORKSHEETS (REVIEW), THAT I HAD ON THE SHELF....FROM SOME THIRD GRADE SCHOOL WORKBOOK.  HE DIDN'T COMPLAIN....INSTEAD HE GOT EVERYTHING DONE WITHIN 20 MINUTES AND BRAD LOOKED AT ME LIKE...NOW WHAT?

BEFORE, GETTING BED-BOUND, ON SATURDAY, I DID MANAGE TO MAKE IT TO MOTT MEDIA, IN FENTON FOR SOME NEW HOMESCHOOL SUPPLIES...I'M EXCITED TO SAY THAT TOMMIE WILL BEGIN 4TH GRADE HORIZON'S MATH IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS.  I ALSO MANAGED TO PICK UP THE SPELLING POWER BOOK...HE'S PRETTY WEAK AT SPELLING, SO WE REALLY NEED TO WORK AT THIS.  I ALSO, INVESTED IN FLYING CREATURES OF THE FIFTH DAY AND REGRET NOT ENROLLING TOMMIE IN THIS AT CO-OP.  THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD PROGRAM FOR SPRING. 

OH, AND AT CO-OP, A YOUNG LADY IN OUR CLASS HAD THE GAME "SOME-BODY"... MY FRIEND JACQUE, A R.N AND FELLOW HOMESCHOOL MOM, SAID IT REALLY WAS A GOOD GAME...SO I PICKED THAT UP TOO.  WE PLAYED IT THIS MORNING AND I AM VERY IMPRESSED...AND WOULD RECOMMEND THIS, AS WELL.  WE PLAYED 2 ROUNDS OF GAME 2 AND LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE SPLEEN, GALL BLADDER, PANCREAS AND MORE.    THIS WAS A HIT! AND, MADE TEACHING SOMETHING I KNEW LITTLE ABOUT A BREEZE!  AROUND $20.
