I think my flu shot has worn off

I am sick again. For the second time in two weeks. Sigh. I hate being sick. Maybe that's why I've been so grouchy. Thing 1 is also home from school and is sleeping on the living room floor while the Littlest Miss is playing with the money in her piggy bank. Hey, it keeps her busy and gives me valuable internet time. :) I'd say it's a win-win situation.

In the last few weeks I've been kind of sick and cranky, so I thought that maybe it would help to list some things I have to be thankful for.

It's the weekend-woohoo! I still live for the weekends, even though things don't really change around here for me. In fact, they get more hectic. The Big Dude is home! It's always nice to spend time with my dear hubby. But that also means that I have 2 days to get hubby's laundry hauled into the house, washed, dried and packed back up......and I don't get to sleep in because the Big Dude starts talking the minute his eyes open in the morning.....and I rilly, rilly need to cook some stuff to send to work with him so that it's cheaper and healthier for him during the week.....hmmm.....maybe I'm not so good at this thankful thing....better try again....

I only have one sick kid-I mean, really, it could be a lot worse, right?

Only one more week, until the Daytona 500-ok, as long as we are being honest with each other (we are being honest, right?) I might as well tell you about my latest interest. I started to watch nascar as a way to bond with my dad when he moved in with us. Unfortunately, Dad kind of lost interest while I ....well....you know. Not that I own any nascar memorabilia, I mean...that would be admitting that I have a problem, you know? But there may have been some talk between The Big Dude and my dad that may have included the word addiction. But if you ask me, I will strongly deny it. And don't you even dare talk to my brother and sister-in-law about how they think I bump draft people on the highway. It's not my fault if the driver in front of me is going slow and there's nowhere to pass. Maybe he just needed a little encouragement......I'm a very encouraging person, ya know? Ummmm, yeah, that's it....

Hmmmmm.....ok, that's all I've got. I wish I could think of more right now. It's not that I don't have more, it's just that I also have a head full of snot, my throat hurts, my neck and shoulders ache......somebody pass the nyquil....oh, yes, you are right. I can't take nyquil until I go pick up Thing 2 and the Student from school. After all, it doesn't do to fall asleep in the pick-up lane. It makes the other parents mad and I hate it when I drool on the steering wheel.
