Scrapping, Sickness, and Sleeping In

I'm thoroughly enjoying my vacation despite GETTING SICK! Who has time for that? Apparently I do. :( I actually figured this would happen - once I stopped going 200 miles an hour. That's when I usually get sick. So I consoled myself with a pan of macaroni and cheese and a pork chop. Well, I didn't eat the WHOLE pan of mac n cheese at once - but the part I had was very yummy. Mom asked why I didn't just have chicken broth. Excuse me? Chicken broth? I'm sick, not being punished! Bring me some FOOD!

I've been able to catch up on sleep - which has been amazing. This morning I caught up on it a bit more than I intended (though I was still up by 10, thankyouverymuch) because yesterday when I reset the clocks after a power outage, I got the AM/PM reversed on either the clock or the alarm. So here about an hour ago - the alarm went off. Scared the snot out of the cats. I thought it was funny.

My baby album is coming along. That would be the album of MY baby pictures, not any sort of announcement of babies to come. (I do NOT need any rumors going.) In the album, I'm actually born now. :) I'm working on the page of when I came home from the hospital. I was 10 days old when I came home - life started out a little rough for me. Thankfully it's gotten much better since. I decided to get all the junk out of the way at the beginning.

I had to stay so long because I couldn't keep my food down (a problem I have long since corrected). While I was there, I also sustained my first life-scarring event. Literally. I wasn't even a whole day old when someone scratched my face. The nurses told my mom that I did it, but given that I didn't have any ripped nails (some things never change), Mom didn't believe them. They told her that the scratch would go away, and it did - but it left behind a nice inch long scar on my cheek. You can still see it. There are some things makeup won't hide.

Anyway, here's a picture of Dad n me on my first night at home. I would have posted the ones of my sisters with me, but given that it was the 70's....and Christmas is coming...I'll just post this one.

Boo getting sick while on vacation!

I am glad you are getting some time home and you get to do some fun scrapbooking :)

Amen to the boo! Although I'm not one who ever believes in sick days (unless I'm throwing up) so it probably is better for me to be home for vacation and actually REST while I'm sick rather than working straight through it.

And I gotta tell you - I could so get used to sleeping in for a living. Getting up at 9 and going to bed at 1 is my ideal day.

That does suck being sick on vacation. When I'm sick, I like McDonalds oreo mcflurries...makes me feel so much better!

mmm that sounds really good! I have to go out later to brave the wal mart. Maybe I'll pick up a "feed a cold" treat.

Sorry you are sick. Need anything, give me a call. Glad you get to rest up though. Continue having fun with the scrapping.

For some reason, your photo for this post is not showing on my computer. Hmm... Wonder if anyone would know why?

So you're saying I should take down the big announcement that you're pregnant from my blog??? hahahahaha

Sorry you're sick, when I am sick I don't ever feel like eating anything it sucks. and even drinks taste funny.

Enjoy your leftovers!

Tina - the scrapping is fun, even though I have to periodically stop and nap. :) Weird that the picture wouldn't show up!

Phats - YOU BETTER NOT HAVE ANY FALSE INFORMATION ON YOUR BLOG!
