I'm taking some sick days...

Send me some love ---- please ---- I've got the "crud".  I guess it's my turn, tho, I haven't been sick in quite awhile.  I think it actually started with allergies - can you believe the pear trees amongst others are BLOOMING.  We actually are having some pollen issues - just barely, but enough to make my alleries flare up into the crud.  Not working is NO fun when you're home sick, laying on the couch, watching the Animal Planet re-runs and stuffing Kleenexes up your nose to keep from dripping.  I've coughed until I think I'm gonna puke my lungs up.  I did call the Dr. today for some anti-biotics and cough syrup W/CODIENE.  So, if I start wandering off here, you'll know what's up.  Actually, wandering off to sleep sounds pretty good right now.  OK, anti-biotics, check. Vicks slathered on the chest, check. Vaporizor, check. New box of Kleenex, check. Couple of slugs of cough syrup, check, double check.  It's been about 10 minutes since I took it - when it is going to start working???  Cough, cough, sniff, slurp...

Our church threw a wonderful bridal shower for Josh and Lindsey this past Sunday afternoon.  They are off to a great start!  Thank the Lord for my extended "family".  It's such a blessing to have all those loved ones around to be there for you for whatever you need.  And it's also a blessing to give back to those same ones.  Josh's comment was, "Mom!  They really hooked us UP!"  They sure did, Josh!  We went by Josh's house later in the day, and those two had all their shower gifts strewn out all over the living room floor just looking and planning and dreaming.  Isn't love grand????  They are both so goo-goo eyed for each other!!  I'll try to post some pics of them soon - I don't have the pictures from the shower as they are on Josh's camera so... Here's one of their engagement pictures.  They are so cute!

Well, I'm gone - Off to bed, I think my super codeine cough syrup is kicking in and my typing is getting slower, so I'll go.  Wish me some sleep tonight, and thanks for letting me WHINE...  and don't forget -

Keep your dress down!
