A Letter to the Birthday Fairy

Dear Birthday Fairy,

I am writing to let you know that I would like to reject a gift you gave. You know the one you put in my left eye, which then promptly shared with my right eye. It is a gift that I did not wish for nor do I want. Pink eye is not the way I want to begin a new and exciting year. Yes I do know it is pink eye because the strange little Doctor I saw confirmed it. So please remove the gift so that I can enjoy my Birthday week.

Also when you come to take the gift back, please leave some $$ because I now need to replace my eye makeup and as you know it can be a bit expensive. I am also not to happy about starting out the new year makeup less for the next few days. I will cope because I am a trooper that way, but if I run into the hot guy in the building, I will be a bit dismayed.

As for the other gifts, I enjoyed them immensely and they are all well received.

Sincerely Yours,

Me

Sunday Mail

No one expects to get mail on Sunday but I was lucky enough to get a delivery.

I am sick again or still, I don't know if this is the same cold that never went away or just a new one. Oh Joy.

This morning I woke up in a fog, not being able to breathe, my head hurting, I felt that I needed to take it a bit slow. Awesome A-gril kindly offered to teach my primary class, with a little persuasion on her part, I returned to bed with a prayer on my lips for her. Taking over a primary class at a moments notice is not easy and this year I am privileged to have a few interesting children that make teaching a bit of a challenge.

She was thoughtful enough to take some cards with her for the kids to make get-well cards. It really brightened my day.

Now if this cold would go away, I could have a great nights sleep.

Sniff Sniff

I am sick again! This one came on suddenly late Friday night and continues to get worse. I hate being sick, I really do. Other than wanting to get rid of the top half of my body, it is boring. I should enjoy the time off to read a book or catch up on movies but when you feel blah you watch bad TV.

The good thing about this nasty cold is that I was able to watch the inauguration yesterday (yippee) and then watch a marathon of West Wing. A show that I am now obsessed with. Always late to the party.

Anyway, when I feel a bit better I will blog more.

Get Well...

Today just wasn't the best day for my Mom and my darling niece Alexandrea.

My mother broke her foot. Now she gets to spend time in a lovely boot. She is so disappointed that she is going to miss her water aerobics.

Alexandrea is currently under the knife. She had to undergo emergency appendectomy. Yes that useless part of her body started giving her fits a couple of days ago. What a miserable way to spend Spring Break.

Use your recovery wisely,  get plenty of rest, read lots of books and let others dote on you. I would if I were around.

I love you!
