I am still trying to get over being sick. I lost my voice 3 days ago and barely can talk, mornings are rougher than anything, as the day goes by I sound better. I have a chest cold and its just building up now that it wants out!!!!! I cannot wait til it gets out.
Taylor-- has the cough and running nose
Me--- I have the bad cough and lost of voice
Steve --- ok, so far (fingers crossed)
Fingers crossed on Steve cause he's the one who goes to work......we cannot afford anymore days off work. I can work at home, which is a God-send...although I find myself laying on the couch alot watching TV cause I'm so drained out and tired. This cold is taking the toll on me. I bet its been over a year since I've been truly sick with a cold like this. And chest colds make me lose my voice, how sweet!
I'm staying inside as much as I can now, since its like 17 degree outside in the mornings, winter is definitely here. I think our 5 day forecast said the highest temp this week was suppose to be like 32.....burrhhh!
I'm drinking lots of water and fluids and sucking down the med's........gotta be better before Sunday when we're expecting a house full of guests for our annual SUPER BOWL PARTY.
Fingers crossed XXXXX

New Haircut
I got a new haircut this week. Its short, shorter than usual. I always wear my hair up in a clip in the back looking like a rooster taiL, or as one of my friends wants said " a bird's nest." Which I wasn't sure was a compliment or not. Knowing him, It was not a compliment.
Anyways, I'm trying to wear my hair down now, and not rely on that clip. We shall see how it goes. It does feel good to have a new haircut, but I'm just not use to it yet. When I'm around the house not going anywhere, I still throw it up in that clip, Like today. I don't plan to go anywhere but chilling at the house.
Steve is working today, and Taylor is at my parents house for the weekend. She just loves to go there on weekends, and it seems like a weekend thing now. I have tons of orders to put together today and hope I can get something done. Just me and Smokey (our cat) hanging out.
Its so cold outside and makes you want to stay inside anyways. I really should be getting things ready for next weekend too, the big SUPER BOWL PARTY here on the 4th.........but we do have all week to prepare for that.
I have this nasty COLD thing going on, so does Taylor. It felt like it was disappearing this week and now its back, I woke up this morning feeling yucky and icky in my throat, I'm coughing now and my sinus' are draining. I just feel nasty. My voice is harsh when I talk.......so I better just veg today and stay inside. WE plan to hang out tonight and watch some Movies we have from Netflix (which by the way I recommend to join if you can)....we have 2 movies here "Monster House" and "World Trade Center." We want to watch them so we can return them on Monday for our next 2 movies to come our way. We really like Netflix and we get 2 movies unlimited per month for like 12.99, you cannot beat that cause we can watch 4 movies per week which covers that price already in 1 week's time. Highly recommended to join!
Well, I have some things to get done, so until next time, have a great weekend!

Peyton Manning ......He's the Man!
Ok, Peyton Manning's going to the SUPER BOWL. Yeehaw! He's my man in NFL, even though Steve is a Redskins fan, he knows all about Peyton Manning......just ask him.
I was a little disappointed when the Bears beat the Saints last night but guess I can't have everything. We throw a BIG SUPER BOWL PARTY every year and I truly wanted the Colts against the Saints.......but we'll deal with the BEARS. They deserve it, 1st time in 21 years to the Bowl game. Now we can start planning our team colors and themes............Horseshoes and Bears? hmmmmmm???? Guess I better get thinking.

FeeLing Icky
Yes, we all feeL icky this week. TayLor and I both have the icky coLd........sneezing, coughing and running noses. I mostly have the sneezes and running nose. I just feel icky. I took a nap earlier which helped a little bit but this darn weather.
I think spending 9 hours in the ER last weekend with STeve and all those germs, gave me this coLd. Or TayLor passed it on to me. She's been fighting a cold for a few weeks now and I think it finally got here.
The weather is shooting down to 17 degrees tonight, burhhhhh! gosh that's cold. It was so windy today and cold, it felt like 5 degrees outside. We did our trip to Wal-Mart today for things and food and I heard someone in the aisle mention bad storm weather Sunday --- that's why it wsa so crazy in there. We just went for our annual weekly trip and everyone hears that dreaded word "snow" and runs to the grocery stores. Its so funny!
Well, everyone keep warm........its a stay inside weekend. Good time to scrapbook!

I'm sitting here drinking some peach schnapps with orange juice. Why not? the orange juice is good for a cold right, and the peach schnapps helps me feel better in more way than 1. Laugh.

Weekend Review.........
What a weekend! Its been a few days since I blogged simply because the weekend was long and drug out. Steve was sent to the hospital on Saturday night to get checked out for a pain in his lower stomach area. We thought his hernia was acting up again.
We got the hospital after he got off work around 9:30-9:45 p.m. and waited for about 1 1/2 hour til they got him checked/signed in. Not too bad I thought......and then they put him in a waiting room to see the doctor. We waited and waited, which we figured we'd have to wait a little bit. I finally got tired of sitting on a hard chair and went back out to the waiting room in the ER room with soft seats. Finally after 2 hours, they came and got me, informed me they hooked Steve up to an IV and was going to run a Cat Scan in 2 hours, because he had to drink this nasty drink before doing a Cat Scan.........it took 2 hours to take effect? And that would be about 2:00a.m.
Back to the waiting room I went, and finally at 3:30 I went back to find out what was up ---he said he just got back from the Cat Scan, they never came to get him til 2:45. Now waiting for results...................
Back to the waiting room I went. He was still on Iv's..........finally at about 5:00 after being so irritable and tired of sitting and waiting, I went back (again) and starting to ask questions myself, and got irritable again. The doctor finally told us nothing showed on the cat scan and a surgeon would have to be called down and most likely admit him to run more tests, and admit for 24 hours to watch him.
So, I went home..........it was now 6:00a.m. when I pulled in the driveway, hungry and tired. I went to bed and got up about 12:30p.m. Not much sleep but better than anything.
To make a long story short, he was admitted all day Sunday and just got home today about 3:30 after being discharged. Still no real answer to what was wrong. It wasn't his appendix, no kidney stones, and no hernia..........maybe a pulled muscle is what he told us today. Steve had some major surgery as an infant in that same area, and he said its possible the organs inside got moved from heavy lifting and pulled a muscle in there. He's still hurting but on pain pills and at home to relax. He'll be back to work by Thursday.
What a weekend.......running back and forth to the hospital is just not fun! I don't want to go through that again.
I did get to the scrapbook store on Sunday with Rhonda to sit and chat and scrapbook for about 2 1/2 hours. Get my mind off that and just take a breather. It was nice to get out and scrapbook, although I talked more than scrapped. :-) laugh. I had fun. I plan to take Taylor next weekend since she missed this trip. It's been months since we went to the scrapbook store to sit down and scrapbook together. She spent the weekend with her dad.
Now we're ready to get back in the swing of things and get back to daily routines. School is back in session tomorrow after a 4 day weekend.
Well, its 12:54 a.m. and time to get to bed.......didn't realize it was this late. We've been watching movies all night and lost track of time, watched "YOU, ME & DUPREE" and then watched "JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE." What a good selection.
Good night all til tomorrow.

First Snow
Wow, we had our 1st Snow of the year on Wednesday, that was 3 days ago, I'm a Little behind on blogging this week, I'm trying to catch up on things with eBay and my website plus prepare taxes.
Yes, tax time.......I'm always ready to file my in January, lucky me.
But anyways, we woke up Wed. morning to a little bit of snow on the ground, nothing major but enough to scrape the car windows and see a dusting of white powder. We have been so lucky this winter (so far) with springlike temp's. In fact, today its in the 50's, low 50's but doesn't feel like winter to me. I know one of these weeks we're going to get hit hard.
The kids have off school today and Monday for snow-make up days but what days to make up? None, so they get a lovely 4 day weekend at home with us......what fun! 4 days of "I'm bored, there's nothing to do." They turn around and go back to school next week and the following week have another 2 days off. January is filled with days off school. Lucky us.
We went to the dentist this morning, Taylor's bi-annual trip for her cleaning, good checkup. No cavities to report, yeah! We have a new dentist now that her insurance covers, she loved her last dentist and now we had to switch, she didnt' like this one at all. The whole way home she complained her tummy hurt from the stuff they made her take, fluoride that is. Poor thing, I remember those days, exactly the same thing. I hate the dentist, then now and always will. So, I know exactly where she's coming from. Hopefully in July it'll be a better trip.
Well, I have tons to catch up on from having the morning off.
Have a great weekend everyone!

New Years Resolution
Ok, everyone always does the New Years Resolution's every year. Most of which are lose weight, quit smoking amongst others. Mine this year........drum roll please............
To pay my bills on time all year long.
????????? That's a very hard goal. I admit we are always late on our bills, they get paid but at the very last minute. But first, I have 2 bills to get caught up by end of this month and I'm starting this New years Resolution Feb.1st.......wish me Luck! I'm going to need it. But now that Steve's back to work and soon to be working 2 jobs probably next week his 2nd job will start again, we should have no problem keeping our rent, and bills up to par.
So, that's my new years resolution!
