Benadryl Blues....

I am still fighting this cold....which, when I thought about it this morning, may be allergies. My throat is scratchy, my nose stuffy and sneezy, and my eyes are grainy. So, being the super smart person I am, I decided to take some Benadry. Now, I'm half way through my morning chores, and feel like passing out! I forgot how sleepy these pills make me. On an up note, I can breathe clear, and my throat is better....

I can't believe it's Friday already. With the girls out of school on Monday and Tuesday, I'm all out of whack. It's also October....what used to be my favorite month of all. Actually , it still brings back wonderful memories....especially when I turn the air on full blast and put sweats on! That's funny I should mention sweats....it used to be my "uniform" of choice up north. Now, I haven't bought a pair in 3 years....shorts and capris, that's what I wear 9 months out of the year!

Wee one did not get student counsel. She was a tad upset, but seems to have forgotten about it. She said that everyone laughed at her "I approve this message" line....however, with only one boy running, he won the guy vote. Although her "friend" who sits next to her, voted for her. He said her speech was the best, and she should have beat the alternative, whom, in his and wee one's words, "Thinks she's all that!" LMAO....boy I remember those days! the winner had 7 votes, the alternate had 6 and wee one had 5. Just missed it! She has been class representative for two years now, so I suppose that it's time for someone else to get a chance. Here's her speech:

Planting flowers at the school for everyone to see,
Donating candy to the kids who have less than you and me.
A box is made and filled with treats, decorated like a turkey with feathers,
Generous students bring in food to help make someone's Thanksgiving better.
Singing carols at the nursing home, making stockings for needy children,
Drawing valentines for the veterans, helping others in the world we live in.
This is what student counsel means, helping the community.
I would do my very best, if you vote for me.

"I'm wee one and I approve this message."

Now tell me that's not a winning speech! She wrote down all the activities the sc does, and then we rhymed them up. I asked her what the other kids speeches were like, and she said, "Mom, they were like two sentences. I want you to vote for me...." LOL....I told her I was proud of her for trying, and for putting thought into the speech. She seemed okay with it....and went off to play the Sims for 3 hours! LOL....

Boy, the longer I sit here, the more tired I am! The medicine has definately kicked in. Next week is a busy one with dr. appointments, school meetings and a field trip to boot! It should be fun though....I just love going places with the kids.

Well, I'm going to try to finish up my cleaning so I can get some laundry done, and then, perhaps a well deserved nap....here's hoping!

Happy Friday everyone....

BTW: Have you stopped playing the game yet? Leave your best scores in my comment box....I want to see if anyone can get 1000. Mrscheesestix is ahead with 927!
