this and that

my blog has been lacking this week.

sorry.

it's because i'm sick.

the week started off so good.

dana and i took our kids to the zoo on monday.

no one was there and we basically had the whole place to ourselves.

um, awesome.

but tuesday morning i woke up with a stuffy nose.

i'm blaming the zebras.

they looked suspect.

by tuesday night i hit a wall.

ronnie got home in time for me to hand off brette

and spend my remaining hours on the couch.

i don't think he was impressed.

i know he was especially unimpressed when it was dinner

time and i offered him a hotdog rolled in bread.

sorry, i wasn't eating and i didn't care.

make yourself dinner.

i did manage to help put brette to bed and

i stole some children's dimetapp from her room.

by that time my head was pounding,

my nose was clogged so i walked around like an idiot mouth-breather,

(you know the kind)

and i was so achy that it actually hurt to dry off with a towel.

yes, i tried showering.

it's overrated.

if my mom wasn't working at the tax office this month,

i probably would have called her to come up and watch brette

while i laid in bed and slowly died.

but the show must go on

and i actually feel a bit better.

no headache

and one of my nostrils is useable.

sa-weet.

so instead of sitting around watching tv and blogging,

 i'm doing a little something

extra after my complete shut down the night before.

i mowed the yard,

vacuumed the house,

did a load of laundry

and made an actual meal.

which is why i have been way too sick and

then way too busy to share much of anything here.

sorry.

i'm almost back to 100%.

in the meantime, you can read this.

it will pass the time until i return

and it is still my favorite blog post. ever.
