We came back from our fake camping trip Sunday afternoon. We had a rockin' good time with our friends out there. I totally meant to take pictures...but we left the camera at home so it will all just live in our memories. lol.

I didn't want to come back...but it probably is a good thing that we did because I have come down with some kind of sickness. My throat is so sore...it feels like there's knives in it and my head is pounding.

I've been home for 2 days now and haven't left the house since we got back Sunday afternoon. I've slept about 22 of the 24 hours in the day. My big excitement has been walking down the stairs and sleeping on the couch and then going back upstairs to sleep in bed. Finally this afternoon I'm starting to feel a little better. I'm even contemplating having a shower.

It sucks that I'm this sick because there are a zillion things I need to be doing at home and I just know that my work is piling up while I'm dying on the couch.

The list of things that NEED to get done this week and I don't know how I will get them all done:

• Finish Banner. GAH. So much to do on that one still
• Make the "Hand Plant" (see picture)
• Finalize Family Sunday Service
• Plan Andrew's Birthday Party (This will be a whole other post as we have $46.15 to plan his birthday party with--and we can't even decide what to do or to invite or where to have it)
  
• Clean House (Have I mentioned that the house has not had any attention since some time last week)

& it's already Tuesday afternoon...*sigh* No rest for the wicked.

I feel like that smurf looks. I shoulda known something was up when I went to bed last night at the same time as my 3 year old--7 PM. I slept right through until midnight and took some neo-citrin and went right back to bed. In the end I think I have only been awake for about 3 hours today. & now I'm considering going right back to bed.

I'm sick. I woke up with a cold this morning.

Last night I felt great--ready to take on the world. Today all I can conquer is my bed. Boo.
