Feeling Better

Oh my goodness! I woke up today and felt the best that I have felt in the past 2 weeks.  I stayed out of bed most of the day.  I even took a shower (it has been hit or miss on the showering).  I did take a nap after lunch but overall better.  Still have some sinus gunk but felt 80% better than last week.  It was great to spend most of the day with Olivia and Brendon.  I missed those two! Now I want to feel 100% better.

Stay well friends and make sure you wash your hands! On every news channel tonight we heard about the increase in flu cases! 

This is an understatement!

Dec 27 through today!

Mema and Pepa left on Dec. 27th.  We were all sad =(  I was sad the most because I spent most of the time feeling awful and in bed! Not much excitement going on except a visit to the doctor for me...now I have a sinus infection! Lovely!

Then Brendon has been on the hunt for the squirrels in our attic.  We thought it was just one...but he caught 2 yesterday in the traps.  His friend who is an exterminator came home and basically they sealed up the house to keep the critters out.  Then Brendon had to get a bat out. Then work on the squirrels.  We heard them in the wall of the office...not good.  But Bren got 2 of them yesterday so we are praying there are no more.  If they are hopefully they are in the trap.

We hope everyone had a Happy New Years and that 2014 is full of blessings for everyone!

First Hockey Game

For a great present I bought all of us tickets for a Gwinnett Gladiators hockey game! Too bad I couldn't go but they had such a great time!  I had no idea the seats I bought were right on the glass.  Olivia even got a hockey puck!! Lucky girl!

Christmas

I felt even worse on Christmas.  I came down for presents but felt horrible and went back to bed after we were done.  The fever was coming on and off and finally we called the doctor in the afternoon and he said I had the flu and to start Tamiflu.  Thank goodness Walgreens was open to get the medicine. The rest of the day and week I spent in bed!

Olivia was really cute about coming down the stairs and seeing that Santa came.  I am not sure what she expected but she was overwhelmed with all the new toys and stuff!  We left a lot of stuff open and ready to go and she unwrapped some of the other stuff.  Every time she saw something new she would say, "Let's play with this!"

Christmas Eve

I woke up and felt like death twice over...stuffed up and achy.  I think Brendon thought I was faking.  I stayed in bed most of the day.  They went to church without me and I slept in bed.  I came out for a delicious prime rib dinner which I couldn't taste =( Then everyone (except me) went to the neighbors for dessert. 

When they came home I stayed up for a bit and then back to bed. I have never felt so bad in my life.

Cookies and milk for Santa

Reindeer food

December 23rd- the beginning of the end!

We spent 2 hours at the pediatrician on Monday because Olivia's eyes were all yucky and we couldn't get them clear.  There were several sick kids and I could feel the germs crawling all over me.  We got her taken care of and home for lunch and there was madness trying to get her meds, finding out if she was allergic to them or not, and building some toys.  I felt fine during the day.

We went out for pizza for dinner and went to the live nativity in downtown Monroe.  It was really cold and when I got home I couldn't get warmed up, even after hot tea.  I felt really tired and was in bed by 9:45ish...that was the end of me...

December 22

Trying to go back and update...sorry had the flu and now a sinus infection!

On Sunday December 22nd we made a Gingerbread house! So much fun and it turned out so cute.  We had to be careful because it said it was processed in a factory with tree nuts so we made sure she didn't eat any of it!

Olivia did a great job.  I would do the icing and Mema would help her with the candy pieces!
