Okay, I am feeling a little like Carmen R. today. I woke up with a killer sore throat and headache. Being very optimistic, I thought perhaps I just "slept wrong" and it would go away. After all, it was going to be in the 80's and I had a serious list of things to accomplish. Well, many hours, ibuprofen tablets, two Zithromax tablets and a really long nap later, here is what got done:
got dressed
ate cereal for lunch
actually brushed teeth (b/c I was going to the doctor)
breathed
blinked
read the paper & the complete Guideposts magazine
I have an overstuffed basket of clean laundry waiting for folding at my dining room table (along with more in the washer and dryer), mud cookies made by Hattie near the front door (to go with the light blue paint Abe got on the front stoop), dirty kitchen counters, a very shaggy lawn, un-combed hair, nasty sore throat breath (Hattie informed me that I stink) and my husband just left for a "late night" in the field. Hattie is walking around the house in her Christmas dress and some cheesy, play high heels. Abe is out having water fights with his cousins. Lena got stung by a wasp but has rebounded and went back outside in one of her dresses. Supper will consist of whatever a 7,6 and 3 year old can make unassisted followed by "movie night" during which I can continue to simply exist like the half-dead road kill that I am. Aaaaahhhh, another busy day on the ranch.
