still sick.

okay - I am sure that by now you all are getting sick of me talking about being sick.
I, too, am sick of talking about it.
But we have almost come full circle with it.
Now A. has tonsillitis.
I still sound like Catherine Hepburn.
It's kinda sultry if you ask me...
I'd rather have my old voice back though...

Yesterday, I called in sick to some birthday parties. I felt so bad yesterday morning, I thought about going to my parents' house and vegging out all day - but I decided, instead of infecting them with our yuck, to stay here at my house.
To keep the messes to a minimum, we played outside most of the day.
It was really beautiful!
And it's harder to feel sorry for yourself while enjoying a gorgeous day outside!
I am a restless type of person, so I decided to get some stuff done on my sick day.

I trimmed my hedges - with my new hedge trimmers - the Cadillac of all hedge trimmers...
love 'em!
I painted a workbench J. made with my dad to match his awesome new nightstand...
I raked up thousands of acorns, our backyard doesn't have stickers - but stepping on acorns might hurt as bad as stickers.
Repotted my asparagus fern.
Fed and watered all my plants - I bet they're glad for that!

Then we came inside.
I hung a bunch of pictures!
I am so proud!
We have lived here for over 5 months now and I had not yet hung anything!!
The only things on the walls were things I hung on nails that were already there.

I painted some more in the dining room and kitchen and finally covered all the wall paper with paint. You can hardly tell there was ever wall paper there!! Victory!

Anyway, because we still have sickos, we'll duck out of church again today.
Cowboys don't play till tomorrow - so it looks like another work day around the house...

Maybe I'll get my chandelier hung in the dining room...
