Just wondering if I am the only person that tends to eat more when they are sick. It's like, I feel bad, so I go around the house eating whatever I can get my hands on hoping that it will be the magical thing that will make me feel better. In the end, I'm still sick and now my pants are tight too.
I've neglected this spot for too long. It's time to move on.

Sure, I've been sick for a week and a half now with a cold that is holding on like a pit bull. And swine flu has hit the kids' school (not my kids luckily). But there are the graces in life that make it all ok.
Not liking:
- Being sick. I've been sick for over a week now. Every time I think I'm done with it, it decides it can go another round. I'm sure Target is staying in business just from the amount of Theraflu and Tylenol Cold I've bought over the last couple of weeks. (Steve and Ashley were sick a week or so ago.)
- My hair. I did have a couple of days where I was really regretting cutting it off. Then I just starting to think of all the things I didn't like about long hair. Couple that with finally pretty much having the styling part down now, and I'm loving it.
- NoiseTrade.com is awesome. Seriously, so much good free music. Just downloaded Alli Rogers. Never heard of her before today, but she's good.
- Allie Moss. Not only is her album awesome, but she actually answers Tori on Facebook. That makes Tori happy which makes me happy. She's just good people. I wish I had the time/money to go to the Ingrid Michaelson concert on Wednesday in Towson. I'd totally bring them all some Nutella goodies because they are all cool, but especially Allie.
- Wednesday night doctrine classes at church. It's just so good to dig down deep into the Bible.
- Hats and scarves. Seriously men, how do you deal with the cold neck thing? I know how I do, cute hats and scarves. I'm guessing you all don't care to run around in fuschia berets and flowered sparkly scarves, but it helps my cold neck.
- Steve. He's just wonderful and cute and I love him.
Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
So, we've been slackers. We haven't carved pumpkins since, oh, 2004. But that's ok. We did today, well, Steve and the kids did. And they are spectacular.
Do you know how hard it is to decide which delicious Halloween cereal to have for breakfast after weeks of Activia yogurt mixed with granola? So hard I had to have a bowl of each. Franken Berry won hands down. Best taste and marshmallow to cereal ratio, in case you were wondering.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Luke seems ok this morning. Just still going through kleenexes like wildfire. Fever was still 101 so I keep giving the motrin. The nurse just thinks the evening panic attack/ spell was illness related and not related to Tamiflu so we're sticking with it.
Rachel just had the one time of vomiting. Nurse doesn't think it sounds like flu for her. I haven't fed her yet though. Just some flavored water so far. She's not acting sick. Her temp is only 99.2. Giggly as usual. All she talks about is going to her cousin's to see Miranda's boyfriend Matt. She's enamored with him because he "slides her" and flips her in the air. A few minutes ago she was babbling about "when can i go to the doctor, " and coming up with symptoms because she wants to go to the doctor. She really has too much of her paternal grandmother in her. Scary.
I on the other hand feel like dog poop on toast. Bags under my eyes are enormous. Achy, hungry and sick to my stomach at the same time. Can't sleep because I'm on hypervigilant-listen-for-kids-mom mode. And hyper sanitizing mode. I scrubbed the grout in my kitchen counter this morning with comet and toothbrush for example.
DH is staying home today too to prevent spreading the love to his co-workers. He is going to run out for more tylenol and Lysol.
The dog is thrilled. I think this was her conspiracy to get us all to stay home for a whole day.
Well there you have the Southmayd Family Quarantine Update. Stay away!
