I have felt very loved this week with all the birthday wishes from everyone I know.

Yesterday, I really was so stuffed up and miserable at work, I sounded and looked so bad that my principal told me I needed to go home. I hurried up and tested my kids and they were running for the hand sanitizer every time I touched them. I came home and slept for about 3 hours, then had to get up and get ready for another birthday get together. My husband had arranged for us to go out to dinner with a few of our closests friends and I couldn't miss that. Thank goodness for Afrin, that's the only thing that really makes the stuffiness disappear. I'm thinking about getting a Neti pot- the thing that you pour hot salt water into your nose. I"m still feeling achy and stuffy but I know it won't last.

Anyway, we had a lovely time at dinner and we moved into the bar and listened to the band for a while until we were too pooped to stay any longer. When we left I realized it was only 10:30! We're so old!

I hope I can get enough energy gathered to clean the house this weekend, it's really dirty- not just messy.

My boys had the entire week off for Mardi Gras and I didn't. I worried about them being alone but they were supposed to just hang out and relax- boring but they'd be okay. Well, it turns out that they were so bored they decided to build a fire in the backyard- and after a lengthly discussion about what the big deal was (they weren't even supposed to be outside) they were shipped off to Grandma's and they are to be picked up today. Crazy boys, ugh!

I haven't been very consistent with my eating better and exercising this week, it really gets blown out the window when I get very busy or sick- so I need to figure out how to adjust to that and still do what I'm supposed to do. I gotta get over this cold, maybe walk a little this weekend, and then tackle it again next week. I have to get serious about the running. I know that will save me!
