sick of being sick!

Still not feeling well.. this is a nasty bug. pretty much have been useless for three days now. usually when I get sick I'm still well enough to putter a bit, but not this time! I had to go back to work this morning, though didnt make it through the whole day. I still sound horrible, my voice, what I've gotten back, is pretty rough and this cough is gross! My daughter had this (well both of them did.. thanks girls!) and Bethany told me last night "dont worry mom, only two more days and you should feel much better" she said this while coughing like a maniac!! Thats fine.. I just need to be better by saturday . We had to cancel our sunday plans with natalea and Jenny last weekend and postponed them for this sat. and I'm taking them to a doll show! so i have to be better! actually if I dont perk up some by this afternoon, I may call my doctor for a script and to make sure I dont have bronchitis. now my hubby and son robbie have it too!

While I've been on the couch, between fevers and napping.. I did do some needle felting. nothing spectacular, I made a few tiny little easter pieces to give to my aunties and mom that I visited with in florida. I have to tell you that when you are sick, needle felting is easy to do, but I worked up a sweat with all that stabbing!

I did finally make it to the post office yesterday morning. One nice thing about living in a small town! the post master is actually a friend of mine, so I called her and told her that I had all these packages to mail and to ask if there was a good time to come in. She told me what times Not to come in. So I went down around 11:00 am and was back home by noon. Only about 4 people came in while I was there and she just stopped for a minute to take care of them. She told me that the post office has been slow, partly because of the internet. she said that we get on line billing and then pay our bills on line and that takes away lots of real mail which is having a huge effect on the USPS. I suppose that is true. I pay must of my bills on line and over the phone! Any ways.. sorry to disappoint you all.. no funny po stories to share. I just pray that I had all the right names and addresses together! sometimes I get a little confused.

I had collected more money then needed to mail everything back out. some packages were a little more then 3.00 and some were closer to 10.00. Regardless I still have a little chunk of money left, I had considered splitting it up and mailing it back but the postage would make it not worth while, so Ive decided to make up a sweet easter basket and do an easter giveaway! I will announce this give away more officially in a couple days. so be watching!

So.... I stayed at work until 3:00 today and then really needed to come home. I was exhusted! so I came home, put on jammies, threw dinner together.. was dying for some comfort food so I made baked mac and cheese... and a little ham.. yummy! at least I have some appetite back. Last night my kids were over and ordered pizza and chicken fingers. I do have to admit that I ate a bit of that stuff, but didnt feel so great afterwords.. oh well...

I still dont feel very well, but I just cant stand the thought of going to the doctor. I will wait til tomorrow after noon and if I dont feel better, I promise I will go!

OH! so guess what?? I'm going to make a quilt! I belong to a quilters guild, but I have never made one.. I just like to go to hang out with talented people! haha! (thats the truth though) anyways, then one of the girls, my friend Bambi ( who likes to read my blog) showed me this quilt that was in mcCalls quilt magazine. Its called doll dresses quilt and I fell in love with it and have to have it. so she found out where to order all the fabric in a kit and we both ordered it! so this weekend I'm buying the cutting board thingy and a rotary cutter.. and pretty soon I'll have made it and I will be an official quilter!!! Isnt it adorable!? heres the fabrics that came in the mail today. I'm so excited about it!


OK.. got to run, back to my couch and blankie... american idol is on.. motown night! yeehaw!
