Friday

2010-Aug.15 - 20

I have been sick at home all week, yes all week. I went to the doctor and I think he said I had airway obstruction due to some allergies/asthma problems. I have had flu symptoms, aches, pains, feverish, a cough that is out of this world, burning eyes, head ache, chest hurts, throat hurts. I have tried for several days to go to work and just can't make it. The doctor or the NP at the "Corner Clinic" John Steffel gave me a steriod shot and a breathing treatment at his office. Then he sent me home with serveral scripts, like, steriod pills, tamiflu, ....something,something pearls (that did not work), even breathing treatments-that we could not purchase due to extreme cost. But then the Office called me and wanted us to pick up samples of the breathing treatments, and we got the machine from Janet, my good neighbor. Then the next day, the Office called me again to see how I was doing, and I told him that my coughing was not better, so they told me to come get more samples about the coughing. And here it is, Friday, and I am still not feeling well.

So now I have been here all week. . . surfing the internet when I am not coughing up a lung.
Or playing Sudoku, or Fill-Ins, and even playing around with My Pictures. So I pick as my next "subject" . . . . . . you guessed it, "My Sweetie".








And my most favorite picture that Jacquelyn sent me of herself:

Isn't she just the most beautiful, precious girl ever.

2010-Aug.11 Took The Day Off

A Day Off! A quiet day off, or so I thought. Johnny, Joseph, and John Thomas went to Houston to an Astros/Braves game. But things come up and it turned into a busy day off! And I didn't get to do my "project" and now I am really running out of time. I've got to get busy to get it completed in time.
John Thomas sent me a picture of the baseball field while they were there. They had a good time and got home safe.
The beautiful Butterfly Card is from Aunt Lydia.
I just had to snap a pic of it, is that surprising?! NOT!!
Do you see it? There is a itty-bitty smile there on Dad's face-He just got out of the shower and he was so cold I had to get a hot pack for him, he was shivering so much.
Krystyn called me, she's not feeling well and needs to go to the doctor. She is at home, no car, so I drove out to the house to watch the boys and let her take my SUV to town to go to the doctor. The boys were good, as usual. Even- got A Nap! The boys - not me.
Caught Jackson taking a "Power Nap" - you know, just long enough to give him that little boost of "energy". I went to take a snap of Parker-Munchkin- but he "caught" me and that was that - awake. Don't do that Nana! you should know better by now.

Sunday

2010-Aug.15 Sunday Morning Visitors

I just love when we have visitors, even when I am so sick. We saw them and what do I do? I get a burst of energy to get my camera. They're not my best, but I got 'em.
