Just Sick
Yes, just being sick, got sick the other day with a bad chest cough/congestion and now its all over me, in my nose/throat/chest/stuffiness, you name -I got it! So yucky!
I'm so heading to bed, goodnight and I'll be back when I'm feeling better, its been a rough 2 days this week already.

Being Sick
As I checked my blog from last year about this time I was so sick with bronchitis, well guess what? I think its back. I have the worse chest cold in history --- I can breath fine but weasing, and coughing geez! it sounds nasty. I do feel better its not in my head, although my chest hurts everytime I cough. Needless to say I'm heading to drug store this morning for some major CONGESTION MED'S........wish me luck! And working basically outside all day -since we travel in the car with windows down, won't feel too swell this week. This really stinks!

Reality Shows
I just cannot believe how many reality shows are on now, everytime you turn the TV on there is a reality or game show on nowadays. I can remember back in the 80's all the sitcoms on each night of the week, your lucky if you see any of those now adays. But I must say I love 'em.......reality shows are so cooL. Can you imagine someone following you around all day long and night with a camera on your back? Not sure if I could live up to that, but sounds like it'd be fun.
Some of my favorite reality shows are:
1. Jon & Kate + 8
2. Rock of Love (oh don't even mention Bret Michaels, yum!)
3. Hogan Knows Best (but no new shows anymore)
4. Bounty Hunter with Dog! (no on air no more, so very sad)
5. Little People, Big World
and I just love these games shows:
1. Deal or no Deal (Howie is so cute! bald men rock)
2. Biggest Loser
3. Big Brother
4. Amazing Race
5. Survivor (starting to get bored with this show, but its ok)
6. American Idol (love to watch the auditions)
Amazing what shows are on now adays.

What a week
Well, all I can say is what a week, seems like it was a long one.......nasty weather for 2 days, kids off school for 2 days, Valentines Day and so much done. One day in my life I would have been glad to say TGIF, but now I don't.....morning routes start at 3:00a.m. and its already 9:30 --time for bed on a Friday, that stinks.
Well, guess I'm heading there now, not much to blog about --I need to get some photos uploaded to start posting and just haven't had time, I took a few on our route this week of the snow storm, they are great but I have no way to transfer to computer, hopefully I can get a connector cord soon and download 'em............have a great weekend!

Long Weekend
its been a LOOOOOOONG Weekend. I am so burnt out and tired, with a headache might I add. We had a long night last night putting papers together and getting delivered for paper route. We started at 2:00a.m. (should I say Steve & Jeremy did) and I had to help out by 3:30 not finishing til 4:30 and getting on the road to deliver by 4:30. We did finish 20 minutes late. It was a long night.
I'm just hanging out today catching up on ebay orders, trying to get some stuff done to ship tomorrow. Sales are pouring in and very busy.
The weather is so cold out today -the wind is just howling at the windows. We had a few snow showers this morning about 6:00am. but nothing major.
I am just so ready for spring weather, temps. Even if its like 60 degrees, I'm happier than this cold windy winter weather. Just hate it.
This week we have a few things planned.......Taylor has a 4 day weekend off school coming up, Dentist appointment on Wednesday and probably a doctor app't for her too. Softball signs up are early next week, geez! thats a sign of spring right?
Cannot believe its Feb.10th already, this year is going so fast already -but the weather temps aren't. laugh.
Well, have tons to do today and trying to figure out what to do for dinnertime.
Have a great weekend!

a Sore Puppy
ever hear that saying a SORE PUPPY? well, that's me today. Today I decided to do a 375 paper route myself. That's 7 routes: 3 foot routes and 4 motor routes all myself. Yikes! Well, at least I know I can do it by the deadline time of 5:01p.m. --that was my finishing time when I threw my last paper, laugh. But I tell you what, my wrists and Left elbow is so sore and hurting and I'm so tired.....I'll be heading to bed shortly here.
Come March - I'll be dropping probably the roughest foot route we have. It takes alot out of someone who isn't in shape. Its constant in and out of the car to drop papers in between doors and on porches. Its an apt complex with elderly folks and they simply want their papers in the doors and mailslots, like delivering mail......wore me out!
Good exercise I learned.
I did have a funny story to tell about todays foot route at that same complex. Here goes.........I decided to do the route backwards thru the apt. complex simply because most of the in and out of the car would be on my side if I go backwards, so I wouldn't have to cross in front of the car etc. So, of course the complex is setup ONE WAY......but our past training session (the lady who trained us) told us she goes backwards and if someone mentions going the wrong way - they know your delivering papers no big deaL. As I was almost done, some older gentleman and his wife was passing me by and he yelled out his window (quite ugly too) THIS IS A ONE WAY, YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY! I turned around and just ignored him, but watched them pull in to their parking space and she went inside, he proceeded to head my way -with his cane in hand, not going fast, but heading my way and towards the office buiLding. I figured he was going to report me, no big deal who cares.........I got in my car and headed towards him standing along the road and he stopped waiting for me, I immediately put my window up ---and as I passed him I thought you cranky old' man, and gave him the biggest smile and waved..........guess I was being smart to him and he shot me the finger!!!!! Immediately I laughed.......gosh, he must have been at least 80 yrs old and gave me the finger!!!! Dirty old man..but a funny story.
He never made it to the office building as I looked in my rear view mirror he headed back to his aptt.............what a funny story, I think it was.
Well, heading to bed early tonight, I'm so sore.............have a good night!

So Much to chat about
Well, normally I'm trying to blog everyday but the past few days I've been busy. Things are just real busy with my business (ebay orders) and I'm trying to stay caught up on shipments for a 5 business day shipping period, trust me its not easy. I've been doing so well the past few days its unreal. I'm very happy with the income coming in.
First to share, I just found out RACHAEL RAY'S show is on 2 times a day here now, I was so upset when they switched her show from 10a.m. to 2p.m. to begin with and then we started our paper route, which was right in the middle of the afternoon ---now its on at 9a.m. on a different channel than NBC but at least its on.....Now I can watch her again, I missed her the whole month of December and January not even knowing she was on at 9a.m. -- I'm so happy, just love that girl.
The weather today is really sucky, hate to use those words but it is....woke up this morning it was sleeting/raining/icey. The kids had a 2 hour delay from school and off they went. Its still ugly outside, no sun (it was so sunny yesterday it was a definite sunglass day).....and the rain is just coming down, suppose to be like this all afternoon, yuk!
Yesterday the kids were sent home early from school at 9:30a.m. --what a 2 hour day. Our schools have a middle and high school, separate buildings, and the high school with construction going on to build a new one, someone hit a gas line.........smelling gas, they dismissed both schools to be safe. Plus, Taylor said the middle school where she is located at was having power issues. What a good call. So, Taylor and I went on the paper route alone, to see if we could do it, we did alright --- finished at 5:01 -1 minute pass our deadline time to be done, laugh. It was a long afternoon but we realized we can do it and it was a day where the paper was so thick and heavy, what a nightmare.
Today is RED day, are you wearing red? I must say I'm wearing white, sorry --- I heard this morning on the TODAY SHOW to wear RED for heart disease awareness day.
We are preparing for the super bowl party this weekend, have to get my last odds/ends today, cause I'm not going to be up to doing all this stuff this weekend. The paper route really takes a toll on us, and I plan to have it all ready by tonight. The house is aLmost clean, Steve stayed home yesterday and really did clean the living area and kitchen, I was so impressed.
Well, on to this ugly dreary day -- have a good one!
