Some Randomness

I'm sick again! Really, this is like some kind of record for me. I know I just said on Sunday that I had been sick and was all better, then I turned around on Tuesday and woke up sick again. I actually thought I would just cry this morning when I opened my eyes and realized I was still sick, thoroughly convinced the night before I would be better. Well, tonight I'm thoroughly convinced I am going to wake up tomorrow feeling much worse than I currently do. Maybe I'm just being a sour puss but I really can't tell you how many times (back to back) I've been sick this winter. The girls, too. They were looking rather droopy tonight and I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel our Friday date with our friends tomorrow.

Sooo, I've been kinda hiding out, feeling sorry for myself and darn grumpy to boot. I've made some pretty lame attempts at school this week but it's doubtful we'll have anything to write home about at the end of the week. And that's OK, I guess.
These photos are completely unrelated to anything. I've just not been in the mood to pick up my camera at all this week. These were some I took back in the fall, I think. They've just been sitting in the folder saying, 'Pick us! We're pretty and pink!'. I do hope to finally have a shop update tomorrow. I've told one reader some bunnies were headed to the shop in a day or two (five or six days ago) along with some other friends. Well, the friends were giving me a hard time and I got a little stuck. You can't win them all, right? But they're on their way!

I think the best thing for me to do is is hide out in bed this weekend and hand the mama reigns over to Tait. I may walk out to a complete disaster but hopefully I'll be fully recuperated, with a sunnier disposition and Monday is cleaning day anyway.
What's going on your way this week?

HI Melissa,
I've been meaning to write you for the past wk or so but just haven't felt up to much computer time. But I wanted to let you know that you've been on my mind lately. You've seemed very down in your posts. Perhaps you don't want to talk or share, and that's OK, but I wanted to let you know that I get very down and struggle with depression more frequently than I'd like to admit, and if you ever wanted someone to share with I would be more than happy to 'listen'. It may very well not be depression, I'm not assuming, just letting you know that I know what dark times are like and you're not alone.

Sending love, light and positive thoughts your way, friend.
XOXO
Julie

i'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, julie. i hear your frustration--i've been dealing with sinus issues on and off for the past month or so, and i am tired of feeling tired and not my best. i hope that you start feeling better soon!

i've been meaning to comment to tell you how much i've enjoyed and appreciated your homeschooling posts. i'm seriously thinking about homeschooling my daughter for preschool, and your posts give me such a good and reassuring picture of how i might make that happen. thanks for taking the time to share what you are doing with us!

Oh, Meredith, thank you so much for stopping in to tell me that! I'm so glad to hear that someone has found them useful or inspiring. I was homeschooled and so was my husband so the choice was easy for us. But my girls and I have so much fun together, I wouldn't have it any other way! :) Hope you have a great wk!

you're very welcome! i come from a very pro-public schooling family (my mom is a school librarian and my sister taught spanish), and i have no personal experience with homeschooling, so it's good for me to see models of how to go about doing it. it is very helpful to me to see how you put your themes together and the easy-going way that you merge your schooling with your home life. i am doing a lot of reading right now about homeschooling in anticipation of doing preschool with my daughter next year, and i am sure that i will come back to your posts when it comes time to do some planning!
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, such a bummer. I've been there myself 2x this winter, it's a strange winter for sickness I think. The beauty of homeschooling is that you can have an off week right? Our week has been a bit off and I'm not sick:) I believe it all evens out in the end. Get better soon and enjoy your lovely little people this weekend.

Thank you, Angie! I'm so grateful my husband had a full 3 days off this wkend. He really came in handy taking care of the girls so I could rest. Yes, some wks are more off than on and when stuff like this comes up it's nice to know we can make it up at our own pace. Hope you have a great wk!

Sorry you're having this happen. It's been that way for us too. It sure gets in the way of things we want to do. Take care of yourself--rest is good but hard to get.

Oh, it's really been making the rounds this winter, hasn't it? I think, after a full wkend of rest, that I'm finally coming out of it. Let's hope it sticks this time.

Who cares if the house is a disaster? Being healthy is more important! Give you hubby a hug from me and tell him I'm so glad he's back (and not only so he can take over when you're sick, but that's a big plus).

Well, I rested the weekend away and am feeling quite a bit better. He actually kept the place pretty clean and made a veggie pot pie for supper tonight. :)

I do hope your hiding out in bed has returned the desired results. For what it's worth, your pretty pink pictures make me smile and want to play with yarn.

Sending healing energy your way...
