And now for your reading pleasure....a little more whining!

Man, I have just about had it with this flu. It has now moved down into my chest and I have a lovely barritone cough to accompany my sneezing and wheezing. I am a picture of beauty today....limp, lifeless hair, smudged mascera, red and swollen nose....nice mental picture, huh?

However....the bunny did get out today and got everything that she needed. I do believe the kids will be happy with their goodies. I am hoping to feel good enough to go to church in the morning.

It's been raining non stop for two days now....and I LOVE it! Everything is getting so green. I got caught in the rain today....but thankfully it was mom to the rescue. When we ran into the freaking dollar store, she bought two umbrellas. Woohoo! However, I did wear my new pink sequined flip flops and by the time I got to the car I was slipping and sliding trying to keep them on. I hate when that happens.

On a very sad note, apparently Thursday evening around 11:30 there were fire trucks and ambulances across the street at our neighbors house. Betsy said she saw all the ruckus, but we didn't as our bedroom is in the back of the house. She watched as they wheeled the mom out of the house, doing CPR. Unfortunately, she did not make it. I feel so bad. We didn't know them personally, but would say hi to one another. She would always have a bible in her had and be singing as she walked into her house or to her car. She had a lovely voice. Apparently they have two older kids that are out of the house, and one daughter who is in high school with Betsy. They were together all the time, and they would laugh and share jokes, walking arm in arm. She would drive her to the bus stop every morning at the same time Bets and I go. I am keeping their family in my prayers....March hasn't been such a good month!

Well, I should get to my room and put together my gifts....have a hoppy Easter!

Sorry to hear you are still sick.  Now you probably sound just like me, you have that smokers voice and cough!  LOL!  I hope you get all your Easter Bunny stuff all organized and perfect for tomorrow morning, although I know with you, it will be!  Sorry to hear about your neighbor, that is just awful.
Hugs and love, Lisa

Glad you were able to get out to help the Easter Bunny with shopping.  Very sad about your neighbor.  Last week, in a town near me, a house fire started during the night.  4 children died and the parents are not in good shape.  Too many sad events.  March HAS been an awful month.  Feel better soon.  Susan

What would we do without our moms?  I don't want to ever find out.  Thank goodness she brought the umbrellas.  YOU will not get better if you are out getting drenched and possibly catching a chill.  PLEASE take good care of yourself.  I hope you are feeling much better VERY soon.

I'm sorry about your neighbor.  She sounded like a lovely lady who had strong faith.  I hope your dad and her get together in heaven and talk about neighborhood stuff.  

I hope you and your family have an awesome Easter!  I am so envious of the beautiful greens that are beginning to emerge in your town.  I LOVE the colors of spring!    ((((big hugs))))
