Have You Ever Been So Tired

That when you lay down, it's like the bed is made of some ultra super mega magnetic gravity? Once you're there, you can't move whatsoever?

Lisa keeps asking me.. "Are you sore?" (We've been putting down flooring)
I keep telling her "Not a bit, no I'm not sore at all." (I'm a LIAR! I'm sore as hell, but admitting that means "Old" and I"m not doing it, I don't care how much she wants me to say it.)

The girls have Strep, Mikyla and Mallory haven't been to school since Wednesday.. the holiday was Monday, so they didn't go then..they only went one day last week. Took them to the Doctor on Friday - so they got their medicine, and today they're much, Much better, but I have to tell you, I'm not feeling too swift. I'm headachy, and did I mention, I'm sore all over? If not, well I AM, Dammit! *laughs* Old age my ass, I have a virus! Yeah!

Dad's back in Florida.. it's looking like he may be down there for Mom's birthday. I sure hope not. I hate it when he goes there *coughswithoutmecoughs* ...it's like part of the world is tilted. I'm glad he's missing this cold weather though, good Lord, it's freezing rain out there.

Congratulations Nikki and Brian, on the new little one!

I didn't get many pictures this week, and I just went through the few I did get, they're all of Maegan this time. The little clean freak! I don't know where she got this clean business, because we're all slobs, but anyway, she's into 'clean' -

She won't take a bath if the tub isn't glistening, she points and says in the most disbelieving, disgusted voice, while pointing to the offending water droplet, or overlooked hair or piece of cotton (mik still has to use cotton in her ears for her bath) "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!". Mallory gave her a fruit roll up, in her crib the other day. That stuff has this dark blue dye on it.. a tattoo for the tongue or some such nonsense.. Maegan drools of course, and drooled some of the dye onto her pink striped sheet. I washed that sheet, and put it on her bed a couple of days ago. She saw maybe 4 little dark spots on it.. that finger shot out.. pointing to the stains, and again, her trademark "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"! I had to touch the spots to show her it wasn't anything gross, just a stain.. she looked at me doubtfully.. laid down but then was very careful not to let her leg touch that spot.. she scooshed herself to the edge of the bed and lay very stiff so she didn't accidentally move and get some of that EW on her little leg. She's unbelievable! We're not allowed to vaccuum anymore. She has to do it.

After a hard day of cleaning she likes to come in here and watch television.

She's pretty bossy, she points to the remote then to the television.. you don't have to be Einstein to figure out what it is she wants. She's talking more and more every day, saying things very clearly... and she's got such a sunny disposition, always smiling, or giggling. She got this Strep business first, and shared it with the rest of them. I don't know if Joel's got it yet or not, night before last he was fine, but I didn't see him yesterday, and haven't talked to Bon yet today.

Mallory got her progress report last week, she did great! Way to go, Mallory!!!

I have to go now! Stay warm, everyone!
