- Feeling a little bit better today. I am still by all means not in the clear, but there are parts of the day that I can at least half way breathe through my nose. My stomach is not taking so well to the meds though. Lets just say that the small amounts of food (I have no appetite) that I am eating are not staying in for long.
- Getting to go to Kroger today after work. I stocked up so that I could rest this weekend and not have to move. I got lots of stuff that Rich can grill for me so that I won't even have to cook! I know this is my OCD kicking in, but everytime I go to the grocery store, I clean out my fridge. Today we had no room in our freezer so I cleaned it out too. Since I keep things cleaned out almost on a weekly basis, it only took me about 10 minutes.
- Getting two batches of brownies made for my first graders! Let me explain. I would have NEVER been cooking feeling the way I feel had it not have been a mandatory thing! At the beginning of the year, you could hear my class coming from a mile away. I would make them pull cards left and right and for whatever reason they were TERRIBLE in the hallway. I had to think of something because it was SO embarrasing! They were angels in the classroom, but I think they just got so excited when they knew they were getting to go outside or to lunch that they just feel apart. So we started a "compliment party" reward system. Everytime they got a compliment, I would add a letter to the board for whatever type of party we were having. So for brownies they had to get 8 compliments! Within a week of the school year starting, they looked like they were marching in the military. They all walked with their hands behind their backs, mouths closed, eyes towards the front, etc. We have a party about once a month for this so it's kinda a lot of cooking, but it is SO worth it. They get compliments all the time. Well they got their last letter last Friday, and I promised them that if they got it before the end of February that I would add icecream, hot fudge, whip cream, and cherries to the party. We always do the party the following Friday so this is why I had to make two batches of brownies flu and all.
- A home-cooked meal. Since I've been sick since last Friday night, I haven't really cooked at all. I decided since I had to do the brownies that I might as well do dinner. We had salad (with home-made ranch, boiled egg, and I even fried up bacon), whole wheat no egg yolk pasta with my meat sauce ( I made it from turkey meat though because we are trying to loose weight). It was GOOD! I got sick half way through eating though and couldn't finish mine. I'm just thankful that I was able to cook something for my hubby!
- American Idol allowing there to be a Top 13 instead of Top 12. Anoop Dog is in!!! It was precious to see him so excited. He isn't the best singer in the world, but for some reason my heart goes out to him.
- Having a year to the gym PAID FOR! We asked for it for Christmas from our folks so we can go to the gym anytime we want between now and January 1, 1010! I haven't been as much as I would like, but Rich is there now. I'm glad that he is getting some time to listen to the ipod I got him and have some time for himself working out.
- A healthy baby.
