Weekend update
This weekend we spent part of it recooperating and the rest of it relaxing.
I wish I could tell you that the recouperating was from a wild party where we spent too much time dancing and drinking but alas middle G got the dreaded stomach flu. Ugh. She spent the entire day on Friday upchucking and crying, "Why is this happening to me."
It was simply pathetic.
Saturday she was good as new. Kids are so resilient.
I did a little crafting. Here are some cards I made. After organizing my oodles of paper I also did a little bit of scrapbooking.
My friend Becky bought me this stamp so I used it to make a Thank you card for her. I was happy with the way it turned out though the stitching was a little whacked. My sewing machine wasn't cooperating.
On a side note, my son has yet another new swim teacher and this one decide after having him in class for 1/2 hour that he was in the wrong level. This was shortly after the holiday break. But after the second class, she was adamant that he be moved to a lower level and said she can't believe any of their instructors moved him up.
"He doesn't even know how to do the elementary backstroke."
**Gasp** Stop the presses! Front page news....my six year old son can't do the elementary backstroke! I should be ashamed.
Do you think I should tell his new teacher that he can't tie his shoes either? I'm afraid if I do that she'll move him back even further.

This is a new stamp my mom got me for Christmas. Isn't she the cutest little ladybug ever??? I love her!

Friday High Five - what I'd like to accomplish
Angela is hosting Friday High Five and sent me an email and asked me to play along. Since I've been making a what I'd like to accomplish list on Fridays since the start of 2009 it really didn't seem like that hard of a request.
If you'd like to play along. Angela has Mr. Linky up on her site. Leave me a comment and let me know your in.
What I'd like to accomplish this weekend:

What I'd like to accomplish this weekend:
- mail my daughter's birthday invitations
- make some cards with my new stamps (Thanks, Enfys)
- Watch the movie Hancock that I've had from Netflix for three weeks. I either need to watch it or mail it back.
- Order some replacement parts for our Hi Ho Cherrio game. Can you guess what is missing?
- Get completely over this ugly flu.

Random things I learned this week
First and foremost, I have the flu. UGH. I feel terrible. The worst part of having the flu and being a mom is you can't take the day off. You still have to get everyone ready, make food, round up lunch, figure out a way to get your son to and from preschool that doesn't involve moving from the couch.
I went back to sleep while he was at school. I stil don't feel better. I caled off work. I still don't feel better. I had two freezepops to eat all day. I still don't feel better. I took pepto bismol...I still don't feel better.
My daughter's have a half day of school today. They will be home shortly. Maybe one of them will get me some tylenol. I really don't want to get off of the couch.
That is how terrible I feel.
As for things I learned this week, they are as follows:

As for things I learned this week, they are as follows:
- Getting a flu shot may actually be a good idea;
- Traveling round trip 6 hours; so you can be at your grandfather's viewing all in one day is totally worth it. Even when you know you are starting to feel sick.
- Friends are always there when you need them; whether it's to watch your dog when they already have two of their own or to drive your son to and from preschool so you can take a nap;
- No matter how bad you feel, someone out there probably feels worse. Count your blessings.
- My dog is good company when I don't feel well and I'm all alone.

Weekend Updated
On Friday, we brought Copper home from the SPCA. The kids plum tuckered him out because he slept like a little angel that night. The rest of the weekend he cried like a newborn baby every time we put him in the crate. Hubby tells me this will improve.
On Saturday, my son woke up with the stomach flu. Kids are not yet programed to avoid food while suffering from the stomach flu. My son is especially guilty of this.
He will throw up and then ask if he can have a scrambled egg and strawberry flavored milk. Just thinking about that makes me nauseated.
Out of all my children, my son, by far, is the most easy going. He jumps up off the couch, goes to the bathroom to throw up and then lies back down. The girls on the other hand pull out the three Ws. They whine, they wail and sometimes they even whimper. It is all very pathetic.
Wait, before you pull that gender card out of your pocket, let me just say that I have plenty of friends with sons who can out wail my daughters anytime so I'm inclined to believe personality plays a dominate role in this. Feel free to argue if you must.
After grocery shopping on Saturday, I finally got my tree down. Since overdosing on Christmas, it feels great to have my living room back.
Sunday brought the family to yet another church. After attending the same church for over 2 years we've decided to see if we could find a better fit for our family. So far we haven't had much luck. Of course, there is always next week.
After a relatively quite weekend, school started back up today. Can you hear the hallelujah chorus?
