This week has been interesting so far. Since we celebrated our New Year last week I decided that the beginning of this week would be a good time to start my resolutions. (I know....not a good sign. I'm already procrastinating the change that gets to take place in my life.) So on Sunday I got sick. Two days before this I was bragging to my sister-in-law how I haven't gotten sick this season yet & how amazing it was, then I had to open my big mouth. I don't have time to be sick, & I know everyone says that but Rick has a crazy busy week & I wasn't going to get a whole lot of help with Mickie so after suffering through Sunday & accepting that I really did catch a cold, I took care of myself the best I could (minus the naps) & I'm grateful to say that I am no longer sick. It only lasted 2 days!!! Can you belive it! Definately an answer to my prayers. I have never gotten off the hook like that. Usually when I get sick I'm sick for at least a couple weeks to a month. It just took till last night to feel good about being around others worrying it might come back or the slight trace of a cold might not really be gone...... What a blessing!
Tuesday Rick left at 7 am & was busy working till after 11 pm at his CCW class. So as you might remember we got "dumped" (quite literally) with snow & there was nobody to shovel it. Rick had done it before he left & it had to be done again. So I called up Rick & asked him how to get the snowblower started & did it myself. I am kind-of proud of myself. I never even considered using it before, it was always a man's job (it's crazy what you have to do when a man isn't around the house, it's scary to imagine what single women who are parents do) but it's a lot easier than shoveling (Except for all the fumes it puts out. Maybe I'm just being a wimp or I'm a lot shorter than Rick & I eat a lot more of them, but it was burning my throat.)
My brother had a birthday yesterday & he looks forward to them every year. It was good to see the family again after the hustle & bustle of the holidays. Also my Nana is leaving tomorrow after her extended stay since Dec. 18th. She always stays through Michael's birthday but I assumed it would be different this year because she was a newlywed but she is always thinking of others & knew how important it would be to Michael if she stayed for his birthday.
We will miss you Nana, but enjoy getting some well needed time to be a newlywed!
