So as you can tell, I have been absent again...

Mostly because I have been very sick. We will start with Friday as I dont remember much before that. Friday I 8finally* arranged a baby sitter for the kids and me and Brian were stoked to be going to dinner and had decided thursday night that we would also go to a local haunted house. The mere idea of it had me giddy! Then friday I wake up and my throat hurts. ARGH! So I wait and wait and finally around noon I inform brian that my throat is at that point on fire. But I was determined to still go out! So he came home and about an hour before he got there, my nose started to pour! I was so upset! I was tired and cranky and just feeling overall like crap. So we made the choice to go to dinner, but it looked like the haunted house was out. :( We went out to eat at Pappadeaux's and my throat hurt so bad, and my nose was running something awful that I could hardly taste dinner at all. :( And to make it worse, I had scraped the top of my mouth on toast on thursday so it was hard to eat my food due to pain in my mouth too!! We got done with dinner and I felt so bad like I had ruined our night being sick. But we decided to go walk around Wal-mart at least and we did that and had a nice time looking at christmas stuff and got some things we needed and the halloween candy for the kids' trick or treating. We went home and I passed out.
Saturday I had planned to go out and do some stuff for myself and I still tried to do that. I made it to petsmart, Toys R Us, and to get gas and have coffee with my mom at her job and I was done. I simply couldnt make it any longer. I was on the verge of tears on the way home just wanting to crawl in bed. I did that when I got home and stayed there through monday. I feel a lot better now, I had a fever and chills, and an achy body all weekend, and now I just have the runny nose still. So far no one else is sick so I am praying they were all spared!
Yesterday I reorganized my dining room and added my "buffet" against the wall (which we still have to paint black this weekend) and I am working on getting the house ready for the holidays! I hurt my thumb on saturday too, so I think I have an infection and I fear it may need lancing by next monday if it doesnt get better. Its awful right now and so bad I cant use my thumb at all! ugh!
Today I am relaxing. Its nice and cool outside and we actually got into the 30s the other night!! yay! The cool season is finally here! woot!
So anyhow I guess I better go for now, I am tired and I need a shower. I will update with some pictures and stuff hopefully tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day!
Robin & family!
