1-5-11



11:00am

Left for Meijers around 8:20am
and just now got home.
My back and legs are hurting
pretty good from all the walking.

Meijers Christmas items are 90% off.
Christmas food items 75% off.

I got beaded red garland for .70 cents
for 9 foot. Regular $7.00.
Thinking about doing a red & white
tree next Christmas.
Too bad I couldn't find red ball ornaments.

Also got huge Christmas ball ornaments,
packs of 2 for .70 cents.
Also regular $7.00 each.
These are the kind you hang from
trees outdoors.

Christmas Betty Crocker cake mixes
.39 cents each

Nestle Tollhouse Christmas chips .66 cents each.
Mint & chocolate mix.

I went over my budget but along with grocieries
I got the Christmas stuff,
some little Christmas gifts,
birthday cakes & ice cream &
stuff to make more jelly belly cupcakes.

It's hard to come up with ideas
for the jelly belly contest!
I have one I want to try for
Christopher's birthday I kinda came up
with this morning, so stay tuned
to see what I come up with :0)

11:20am

Ever since waking up from my nap
yesterday I have felt like crap.
Doesn't make sense as I thought a nap
would make me feel more rested.
Instead I got the cold chills, which come & go,
and now my muscles hurt from shivering.
And my chest hurts somewhat when I cough.
I've been taking hits off my inhaler
since last night. It seems to help.
I need to bounce back out of this crap
because I have a cake to make today or tomorrow,
taking everyone out to eat tomorrow at Ci Ci's,
then walking around a 100,000 foot
showroom at the train show on Saturday.

Well I think I am going to go lay down
and watch some of the Ghost Hunters
marathon that is going on today.

12:03pm

My face started to feel like it was getting hot
so I took my temperature.
I had already taken ibuprofen about
an hour ago for muscle aches.
The thermometer said 100.1 degrees.

I'm starting to wonder if I am cursed around
birthdays. On my birthday I was sick,
Christopher's is tomorrow
and I'm not feeling well either.
Wasn't sick anywhere in between those
birthdays.
grrrrr!

Mom was sick around Christmas and they came
over about a week ago for a gift exchange. They say it usually
takes a week for a virus to set in.
So now I wonder if I got her cold since
it's the same symptoms.
Well I'm popping a couple vitamin D3's and
heading to bed to go nigh nigh!

5:50pm

Aren't I a good mom.
I feel like bleep de bleep and I made
everyone tacos for supper
and are now working on mini
and regular sized chocolate cupcakes
for Christopher's birthday tomorrow.
Mom's never seem to get a day off,
even when sick, unless they are in the hospital.

---------------------------------

8:00pm

Well I can't take no more of baking
and are gonna go lay down.
Sickies are getting the best of me.
I try to go as long as I can
before laying down.
So if I made it this far I am doing good.
Tomorrow I need to finish Christopher's
cake, and for those of you who can't see
what it will be, it's a train made out of
cupcakes. I had a few extra
cupcakes I tinkered with also.
The train still needs it track made
along with wheels put on.
It is a steam engine (in the middle) and it
will have a coal car, the cupcake with
the black and brown jelly beans.

Then tomorrow I have to
take mom back to the dentist at 10am.
Don't know how I'm gonna survive that or
how long that will last.
And I don't think I will be getting any
adjustments for myself with the way I'm
feeling. Don't need to be breathing on
people if I can help it!

Well it's 8:15pm and I'm off to bed!
Getting chills and took my temperature
which was 100.2 degrees.
Just took 2 more ibuprofen.

Night night!
