Yay on getting your taxes done! That's a big job.

I'm having a quiet morning so far, need to run out and do my errands but Caleb's been feeling really lousy and I don't want to leave him home.

Sis called to tell me to tell him thank you for sharing...middle niece is on her way to the dr with the yucky throat. I told her he was just returning what he borrowed since he got it from oldest niece.

Thursday's Mission

Got my errands done (except for the grocery store,) did my snack bar duty (was cool, saw the other two softball teams play,) and did a little cleaning and that was it for today.

Caleb's still feeling pretty cruddy. He can go back to school tomorrow if he feels up to it, but I think that's iffy considering how he was feeling tonight.

Not sure what my plans are for tomorrow, cleaning, laundry, and softball practice and nothing else really planned.

Today's trash day so I cleaned out the fridge and cleaned up a bit in the kitchen. I'm getting a late start on breakfast this morning (what prompted the fridge clean was me standing there looking at not much to eat and wondering what the heck to fix, lol) and then writing out a grocery list and heading off to the store.

Then back here for cleaning and laundry.

no chores today, I stayed home from work sick, seem to have some sort of flu. I didn't feel that great yesterday so I think it finally hit me this morning.

Ack Dipo, I hope you feel better quickly! Also glad you got to take it easy and rest today.

After grocery shopping, I cleaned up the house and threw a load of laundry in. That was about it for the day other than going to the girls practice.

Caleb is feeling well enough he'll be able to go to school tomorrow, as long as he doesn't get worse overnight. I have a couple errands to run and then some more laundry and cleaning the bathroom. Girls have a game Saturday morning so I also need to get stuff ready to go for that.

I woke up this morning feeling back to normal, thank goodness! I haven't done much, but yesterday I got a look at myself in the mirror and it was scarey, so I called my hairdresser (and friend) and got a 2:30 appointment and we had lunch too. I had an appointment on Thursday but had to cancell since I was sick.

THis morning I cleaned up the kitchen, refilled my water and soda bottles, read the paper and that was it.

I hope to do some laundry tomorrow and maybe some other minor things.

Hope the games today went well and that Caleb is back in action!

Holly, I couldn't make up my mind on which one to get, esp with the info that they seemed not sturdy enough. So I decided not to get one. I liked using my Scuncii hand held steamer with it's floor when I went shopping and found some that would work with it. Not as well as the original pad, but good enough. And I can put as much pressure as I want/need to. Yeah I have to carry the steam part around but it's not that heavy [it has a strap that if I needed to use to help carry it I could], and only takes about 5 min to heat up. So I move my chairs [and my table if I'm that ambitious] and clean that half of the room, then fill the steamer up and warm up. By the time that is done, the floor I just cleaned is dry and I move the chairs and table back in place and do the rest of the room.

Which is good cuz I really don't like the steamer for anything else so it has been sitting in the closet since we moved from Kentucky in 06.

I'm glad you are feeling better, Dipo!

We went to Kota's game today, I got a bad sunburn. Came home and took a long nap. I'm hurting bad enough I won't be doing too much over the next couple days.

Darn Wargod, hope you feel better, I think sunburn is worse than the flu!

I have done 5 loads of laundry, darn, it feels good to have it all done, but damn, I hate that I had so much. I was only going to do some colors, but then decided I should do the whites, then I had some sheets to do and changed the towels in the bathroom, so figured I could do those, and Peanut had thrown up on a blanket so did that as well! I am pooped now, and still have some folding to do, the kitties are sleeping in the the warm laundry (the around the house clothes) everything else is put away.

When I was making lunch I realized I had some stuff that needed to be thrown out from the kitchen so I got rid of that. I finished the paper, cleaned up the kitchen and now I need to go and cook some chicken and then freeze the rest so I have some food for the rest of the week.

Monday's Mission

Luckily, the sunburn wasn't quite as painful today as I expected it to be. Sore for sure, but not as bad as it could have been.

We didn't do all that much today. Took Kota to the batting cages for a while (second day of spring break and she's already twitchy with boredom,) ran by the store for a couple items, and did a couple loads of laundry.

Tomorrow, not much to do really. Told the kids I have to run some errands and they're going with me, cuz then we'll go to the park and walk for a while and then I'd treat them to a donut (big treat in my house, I never buy donuts!) I'll do a little cleaning and some more laundry, then the girls have a game tomorrow (early) evening.

I ended up cooking some chicken and asparagus, then I froze the rest of the chicken. I had purchased one of those value package things. Got all the rest of the laundry folded and put away.

I don't know what I need to do tonight, maybe nothing.

I cooked extra chicken last night to make chicken salad sandwiches tonight. Figured with getting home late from the game it'd be worth the hassle.

I have something going on, think sinus and just feeling worn down today. Not sick, just blah. We did the park and the errands and donuts, but since then haven't been able to motivate myself for anything. Noticed both kids are a little sinus-y today too so I think it's just something in the breeze (probably being at the park didn't help that much either.)

Darren apparently told older two nieces they could come over today and they're holding me to his promise. So they're going to spend the night and tomorrow we'll go to the nature reserve to check out the hiking trails.

Tuesday's Mission

Whatever this crap is, it's not just sinus problems. The longer today has gone on, the worse I've felt. I'm running a fever, sinuses hurt, ears hurt, throat hurts, chest hurts from coughing (I can't even pinpoint one that hurts more than the others.)

I'm supposed to go to my aunts tomorrow to help with a shower and clean but at this point, I'm glad her appt is for Wed at almost 1, because if I don't end up rescheduling it I'll most likely end up giving her a shower early Wednesday rather than tomorrow.

That sounds like what I had,it started that way and the next day I got nausea and diarrhea; once those two cleared up I was just achy with a fever and a cough. Although I will say, there is some sort of new pollen around (I think it is all the trees blossoming) and everyone is complaining about their sinuses.

I was right, I didn't do anything last night but play computer games, read my book and glance at Dancing with the Stars (I can't believe Kate G was so bad, LOL).

Ack, Dipo! I got up somewhere after 9 this morning feeling horrible, laid down on the couch around quarter til 12 and went to sleep feeling even worse. Then Dakota (who'd been playing in her room) came out to say my bil was here. He was taking the girls to the batting cages and then to the park to practice pitching (niece is pitching in tomorrows game) and wanted to know if Kota wanted to go. Said he'd bring her back when he picked sis up from work and I asked if he was sure he really wanted to keep Dakota that long and he looked at me like I was nuts, lol. Come to find out it was close to 4 and I thought it was only 1! I had slept about 4 hours. Oh, and the achy?!? What the heck is up with that? Even my toes were hurting!

But, I'm feeling somewhat better. Not ready to go do chores or jump up and down, but certainly not as bad as I'd felt earlier. I did reschedule my aunts appt (its sometimes next week, need to find my calendar) and cancelled my plans with her today.

The girls have a game out of town tomorrow night. Darren has school and sis is working so I made plans with bil for the rest of us to drive together and just take one car. Right now I'm not too sure I'll be going but he said no problem taking Kota if I don't go.

Unfortunately, now Kota has sinus stuff going on...headache, stuffy, runny nose. Fingers crossed she's not getting sick and it's just sinus. I've got her taking the advil sinus, using her nasal spray, and had her do a sinus wash (and she'll do it again tomorrow,) the normal sinus stuff. Also noticed she had a little chest congestion (not unusual when she's got the sinus stuff going on) and if I don't end up waking her up tonight for it, she'll definitely be doing a breathing treatment tomorrow. She's so hard to figure out cuz the sinus stuff is pretty normal for her but can also turn nasty real quick, so is she sick or is this just normal? Especially since she spent the afternoon at the park with all the trees and flowers.

No plans for tomorrow for now except resting. I will have to run to the grocery store for a few things, no choice in that, but that's about it for plans.

Glad to hear you are feeling better! I am sure that the trees/flowers pollen is reeking havoc so that any other slight illness makes us feel worse. I love spring, but hate the pollen part of it, LOL.

I didn't do much, watched my tape, did some office stuff and called it a day. I have my condo board meeting tonight so won't do much tonight either.

Feeling about 85% better, would say 100 but I'm still pretty sinus-y which is miserable. I watched and checked on Kota all night last night and yep hers is strictly sinus, not sick. She never did run a fever. Said she's feeling ok this morning but still sounds bad with the sinus stuff. Told my bil since he's coaching tonight so he'll have to keep an eye on her and bench her if needed and told him I'd have her to-go bag of meds. She spends enough time with them (and I'll be there) that he knows what to do and if she's going to need to sit down and take a rest or sit out the rest of the game.

Thursday's Mission

My day: I sat around in my jammies for a couple hours, then hopped in the shower. Went to Costco and had a pretty light list...was worn out half way through. After lunch and resting I did a quickie clean out of my car. Then more resting before going to Kota's game (they lost tonight, had a bad game, Dakota wasn't feeling that great, missing a girl, etc) and that was it.

Tomorrow I have to take sis on an errand (she won 4 tickets to the renaissance faire on the radio the other day and I get to go, yippee,) and our hair dresser friend is coming to cut Dakota's hair. I have to find my social security card, have my work meeting and need it for that. Looked around a little tonight and it wasn't in the fire safe box, I'm pretty sure it's either in my jewelry box or dresser drawer but couldn't look since Darren is sleeping. That's really all I have planned. The girls don't have another game til April (spring break) so their coach gave them the rest of the week off to rest, no practice tomorrow.

Dakota's sinuses are a mess. She's not sick, yet, though it won't surprise me a bit if this turns into a sinus infection. She was just miserable tonight and since they were short a girl didn't get a chance to rest. Gave her a sinus pill before we got there, but she had to use her nasal spray halfway through the game. Everytime they came off the field she went running to blow her nose. Me, coaches, bil, even the ump kept telling her she could call a time out (they're pretty lenient with this age group) but she refused, I think she didn't want to stand their on the field holding the game up to blow her nose. Didn't help either that we were on a field right off the lake today (away game) and it was breezy and dusty. She said after the game several of the girls were sniffly and rubbing eyes. Really hoping she doesn't get sick but at this point I think it's pretty much a given she will. We haven't been able to clear her up with any of the meds or sinus wash.

Well, I hope you guys all feel better soon. I had my board meeting last night, and my stove is being repaired today, so I am working from home. I cleaned up the kitchen, refilled my water bottles, been on a conference call, written some memos and have had some lunch.

Haven't had time to think about what needs to be done tonight.

I'm getting there, still not much energy but not as bad as yesterday. Dakota's still really sinus-y but still not sick sick.

Hair dresser friend called this morning and said she could cut Dakota's hair earlier if we wanted to come to the shop. Said, sure, ok and ran over. She cut about 8 inches off the back and trimmed up her bangs. I think it looks cute and Kota loves it. It's just long enough to put back in a small pony tail when she's playing softball but not long enough to get in the way or get caught in the helmet (part of being catcher is having to rip the helmet off quickly which is a pain with long hair.) I'll have to get a picture later and post it.

Got to leave in a few minutes for my appt for work. Found my social security card in the jewelry box and went to stick it in my purse and realized...ack, it's in my maiden name! I have torn the house apart (literally left a huge mess in my wake, sigh) looking for the one in my married name, but can't find it, I'm thinking it's got to be in the safety deposit box which I can't get to (Darren has the key and he's at work.) So hoping the one I have will be ok.

Not sure what I'll be doing when I get home, other than picking up my mess and figuring out dinner.

Yep, it was a problem (my ss card.) Went out and explained it to the lady and she said either come back with the ss card with my married name or run by social security and get the paper they'll give you (whichever is quicker) and come back next week. So no meeting today, but also no big deal as I can go next week.

war, you need to destroy the one with your maiden name on it. once you change your name, until you ever change it again, that is your card. the other one is invalid

I can't believe I even still have it! It's been 13+ years! Only thing we could figure is that I mixed the two up and meant the one with my maiden name to go to the safety deposit box, otherwise I have no idea why I still have it.

Friday's Mission

Sis ended up having a meeting at work today and wasn't off in time for our errand so we'll be doing that first thing in the morning before she goes to work.

Then home for me to call and try to get Dakota a dr appt tomorrow. She started running a fever this evening and feeling crappier than she was and complaining about her throat. I'm hoping I can get her in to see the pediatrician but since it's a Friday I may have to take her to urgent care.

Also the trip to the social security office whenever I can squeeze that in. Haven't decided what else I'll be doing, maybe get to the taxes or some housework.
