Reminds me of a song that goes like.. dadadadada for the weekend.. (old song.. anyone.. Jessi?? Jenny?? ) I think it says something about working in there.. but not sure where.
Okay so HOLY Cow, almost packed and ready to fly out to Vegas today! I seriously thought I wouldn't be going this weekend. you know how i have been sick all week with just a head cold, sinus thing and earlier last week had a fever and body aches?? Well wed. night I started getting the body aches again, but this time, oddly bad and a gigantic headache. By the time I woke up yesterday I had a pretty bad fever, headaches and the worst body aches I have ever had in my life. (at first I thought maybe I had exercised and just not realized it and so I was sore.. but nope.. that couldn't be it because cutting paper doesn't count as exercise! LOL). Anyhow ended up going to the doctor (between kitting some extra class kits and doing all my class instructions) and found out I have a virus, a bad one that is going around. We have had several cases of West Nile here in lil ol' Shelley and so I was kinda scared it was that. But no.. just a plain old virus. But feeling Much better today. Took some medicine and had a blessing and honestly feel so much better. A little nausea if I stand for too long.. but that hopefully will go away by tonight.
Well WAIT until you see what Ben has done. oh.. so dreamy!!! I went over to the house last night for a brief moment to get Ben and got a glimpse of the wall color and creamy white trim everywhere..So pretty! I was cutting paper and kids were in bed, when poor Allie came upstairs just hysterical that she was itching everywhere and so I told her to go take a bath. So I heard the water running for about 10 minutes and then it stopped and all I could hear was moaning and then nothing.. which kinda scared me, so I went and knocked on the bathroom door and told Allie to open it. She sounded really weird and finally opened the door and when she did, I couldn't believe my eyes! Not only did she have a severe rash and hives everywhere but her lips and ears were swollen probably 4 times their normal size. In fact she reminded me of the movie "Hitch"! I thought maybe i was seeing things so I grabbed her face and pulled it into the bathroom light and sure enough! Her lips were not only huge, but they were about 4" wide too! Which is about double the width they normally are! So I threw a towel on her, yelled for my dad, and took her into the kitchen to give her some Benadryl. Then my dad helped her get on the couch while I ran to get Ben (since he wouldn't answer his phone). Within in about 30 minutes the swelling started to go down. We figured she must have had an allergic reaction to a combination of medicines Ben had given her earlier that night. Anyhow. This morning she looked great and the only comment she said was that she didn't appreciate that we (me, Ben, my dad and step mom) were cracking jokes about her lips last night. (we were actually trying to get her to laugh because she was freaking out so bad.. but I guess she didn't think it was funny.. seven year olds are so sensitive! LOL).
Well I am off. Gotta take a shower and get my clothes packed. I usually don't enjoy traveling so much but a good friend of mine, Jamie is coming with me so it should be fun!! and those crazy girls in Vegas are a riot too and I am actually going to SCRAPBOOK on this trip... at a CROP!! I haven't done that in years.. Gonna miss my kids and hubby but excited to see what he does while I am gone! :)
Hi Christy thank you so much for the class Friday night in Vegas. I had a great time. I hope your feeling better. Thank you for sharing about your family and the house. I think we need to move to Shelley and get a real house for our money! Ya know I just have to ask did you get the Corona you were expecting or was it beer that you received! LOL

Oh my goodness! I probably would have freaked out myself if I saw my kids lips swollen!! Yikes!
I can understand though how hard it would be to NOT crack jokes!
I'm glad that she is doing much better now.

"Everybody's working for the weekend" Is that the one you are thinking of? I think Loverboy sings it.
