sicky.. tub time.. and herpes.

Ok, its been awhile but today I have nothing better to do than to get on my blog, and write. Why? Well, the last few weeks we haven't stopped, go, go, go. Then BOOM!!

Last night I wake up with the stomach flu. Ugh!! I will spare you the details, but it pretty much sucks. I slept on the couch, because I didn't want to wake my poor husband up, AND I don't want him to get it. He loves me, but I'm pretty sure he would draw the line with being puked on. Anyway, because I slept on the couch, my poor delicate, wide, hips, and back are SOOO sore.. like burning!!

Because my hips and back are burnin' I of course s-l-o-w-l-y get up and make my way to the beautiful bath tub. While in the bath tub I start thinking how funny it is that I atomatically get in the tub.

You see growing up our bath tub got a lot of use. Between three girls and my Mom we had to beat each other to the tub. Its all my Mom's fault really. When we were little and went to Mom about anything.. anything, she told us to take a bath, and that would help everything. "Mom, my tummy hurts"... "Oh, lets go poor you a bath".. "Moooom, my leg hurts" "Ok, go take a bath"... "Mom, I have a hang nail", "Go get in the bath".... "Mom, Bobbi, won't let me go with her", "You should go take a bath".... "Mom, the turtle bit me" "Ok, after I get outta the tub, you can get in."

Ok, you get the point, no matter what was going on, good or bad, we took a bath and it usually did the trick. Now when my kids come to me with their problems I stick em' in the bath... whether they like it or not!

So lets see what else have I been up to.. My Aunt Helen came out from Omaha to visit us for a week. We had a lot of fun with her. We went shopping, and had lunches, took her to San Diego, and had her over to the Sosemans for Italian food, and the Crippens for Chinese food. Most of all we were able to just visit with her, and she enjoyed our 80 degree weather. It was so nice to spend time with her, we don't get to see her very often. 

Yep, things have been go, go, going, but today I'm stoppin' and resting. Hopefully I won't get any surprise visitors, cause I will scar them!! OH! I almost forgot, I think I'm getting a fever blister on my lip.. yuck!.. Am I the only one that instantly thinks that I have herpes on my lip? I am? I thought so. ((sigh))
