Sore Throats

This is the first time I can ever remember that I have had a sore throat that is not strep and has lasted longer than two days. This time I have had it for more than a week and lost my voice on top of it. Try teaching 29 kids all day when you can only squeak out instructions. My ears are plugged so I can't hear them that well. They talk louder, I squeak, and nothing gets done.

Ugh! Instacare doctors-- I don't know. It seems if they can see that you haven't been running to the doctor a lot and that you are there, they could be a little sympathetic. I know I need antibiotic. I rarely use it, but no....they know everything. I'm feeling worse today than I was on Friday when I went to Instacare. And-I have to teach again tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able talk tomorrow. Still can't today.

I Love Afternoons Like This

Today it is cloudy and drizzling. I got up, took Austin to a church basketball playoff game and then took Kirby to the groomer. After dropping Kirby off I picked up a friend and went to Seagull Books. I bought $70 worth of on sale items and saved $190. I can go for that! The best part is all but $4.00 of the items are for NEXT Christmas!

Yes, it's true. I'm a Christmas-shopper-a-holic. I don't know of a 12 step group for recovery of this addiction. I can't help it. I just have to start shopping in January. Mainly because I'm a cheater. My extended family exchanges names, but I cheat and buy little things for everybody anyway. (Don't blame me--it's an addiction that is genetically passed in families.)

After receiving the great news about all my savings I took my friend home, picked Kirby up, picked up something for Austin to eat for lunch and came home.

I don't know about you, but rainy days and Saturdays always....make me tired! So, I took my Nook into my bedroom, turned on the electric blanket, and fell asleep.

When I awoke an hour and a half later, I finished reading my book--on my Nook. :)

I can't tell you what I am reading as it is a series that I am purchasing for one of my nephews for Christmas!!!! But I will tell you one of my students told me about this series and I LOVE it!

A few minutes ago I read my sister's blog and then I read my sister-in-law's blog. Then, feeling as though I am the behind-the-news blogger, decided to write about my wonderful afternoon. Now, I have another sister's blog that just popped up so I have to read that one too!

Yes, even though the morning was great the nap and reading was the best part of my day!
