Well, the wee one is home sick today. She has a bad cold, complete with sniffles, sneezing and snot. (Sorry, I couldn't think of another "s" symptom). As we speak she is in her room, playing her Simpsons Road Rage game on the PS2. I let her choose her breakfast since she didn't feel well. The menu consisted of macaroni and cheese, and kool-aid....which we made fresh this morning. I also gave her some generic dimatapp for her stuffiness. So, she will be relaxing for the day as I begin my cleaning.
I have so many things to do today, that I'm not quite sure where to begin. I have a ton of ironing, the usualy Wednesday mid-week clean up, and I have to begin my sewing. I need to read 7 chapters of my bible study book, and finish an assignment for my online class. I am a horrible procrastinator! I am also itching to finish the 2nd bathroom and start on the girls rooms. Not to mention the fact that it's time to start focusing on the lawn again. I get all of these things in my head, and I don't know where to turn! I suppose I will figure it out.
My mother-in-law will be here Saturday night, which means a week of "entertaining". So far it will be a day at St. Augustine, a boat ride, a trip to the imax theater, a return trip to Blue Springs (the oldest has already tried her "get out of jail free card" on that one), and various other places. Not only that, but as I'm traveling about, I will have to have dinner thought out and prepared in advance. I don't want to rely on pizza and burgers! I am very lucky, as she is someone who is relatively easy to please, and enjoys outdoor activities. The girls are in school all week, but dh will take Monday off. Of course he will be gone Th-Sat....which leaves the entertaining to me. Any suggestions????
I tried to get a hair appointment to have my highlights freshened up....but my stylist is booked. Crud. I thought it would help me feel more like sticking to my "healthy living plan". (No diets for us, right Martha? ;o). You know, when you look better you feel better....yeah right. I'll try anything!
So, that is my story. It is almost 10 am and I need to get going. I did spend the morning cuddled in bed with my sniffley girl, and we had breakfast together and watched Tom and Jerry. So no excuses....I need to get to work!

Hope your daughter feels better soon. I'm sure that nutritious breakfast of macaroni and cheese with Kool Aid ought to help speed up her recovery...Does your mother-in-law like the beach, because that's always a nice day out. And lets not forget shopping, and the movies. Can't think of anything else. Oh, and if she gets really bored, maybe she could cook dinner for all of you one night (just kidding). Have a great day.
Karen has some good suggestions there...
You are such a dynamo. I can't believe how much you plan for yourself in a day. Could you send a little of that cleaning karma my way? I need some!
:)
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate! (no pun intended!) Hope little one gets to feeling better soon! :o) ~Kim (BTW--did you get an e-mail from me? It was kinda personal, that's the only reason why I'm asking--let me know if you recieved it!)
Highlights? I thought you were a red head like Me. I hope your little one feels better...my kids aren't too keen on Mac N cheese but My big kid Mr. Kara he loves it. I know what you mean about feeling better when you look better. I look and feel like poop! LOL
Now when I read your entries I can hear your voice. So nice!
No I don't have any suggestions as to what to do with your mother n law. I don't even know what to do with mine for an hour! Rent some movies, make some popcorn. Pull out all your old pictures. That can take up a whole evening. Forget cooking go out to eat.
Well take the rest of the day off as long as your at it hahaha No one should have to work on my birthday~~ Hugs Lanny
OMGosh, I just read my last comment on your Fear of Flying entry. I totally worded myself wrong and come out sounding bossy! I can't believe you didn't call me on it. When I said you "should be happy he wants you to go", I should have worded it that "I'd be happy he wanted me to go". Geez, I wasn't trying to sound like a bitch, I promise! LOL Aren't you happy it's finally getting warm enough to go and do outside things? Except for the yard of course, that comes much too soon. I've already been out and mowed real quick once last week. I hope your daughter feels better soon. Dimetapp is the best. Can't wait till AOL by phone is back up and we can hear your "hello from Jacksonville" entries! ~Melissa
Awww, hope the little frog land journaler feels better soon. No idea for the mother in law, UGH! the thoughts of my mother in law being here just sent chills down my spine! And no we definitely do not "do" diets! :-) Hope you used "our" time management plan today too, LOL!
Hope your daughter is feeling better by the time you read this. This stupid cold and stomach bug is going around like crazy and I guess it's even hitting sunny Florida now! Ugghh! I have 3 sick in my house. so I understand totally! Just take care of yourself too, so you don't end up a sickie!
Hugs and love, Lisa
I lived right on the road (West French Ave) that goes to Blue Springs!!! I used to ride my bike to the park and swim there in the summer. Oh what fun, can I come? I was hooked at the thought of going to St Augustine with all the history but, when you mentioned Blue Springs ... I'll go instead of your oldest ... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
