This weekend I went to Seth's. I should have known that it wouldn't go well when I had to leave work for a splitting headache. I rarely have a headache so bad that medication will not alleviate. However, this one was a doozy. Even with my eyes closed and head down, it would not go away. So I left an hour early. I felt like I was in a haze the rest of the evening. Who knows what time I fell asleep on the couch. Seth carried me to bed. (He's so sweet like that.) Saturday morning, I was the last to get up. I was actually awake around 7am but thought everyone else was still in bed. So I just played games on my phone. Eventually I walk out and SURPRISE... everyone is awake including the baby! We kind of lounged around for a while. The boys went to Lowe's. (Seth's parents bought a house in the fall and are slowly but surely remodeling to suit their needs better.) So off to the attic I went to prepare for carpet. It was a family affair getting it laid but the room is so close to finishing now.
It was such a beautiful day so we took the afternoon off. Seth took me to an overlook of the lake and then to the dam which was actually pretty cool. Of course, I took a few pictures. None of us this time. We were pretty gross from the housework. : P
It was nice to get out and enjoy the weather though. Josh, Bethany and I stayed home in the evening and surprised everyone with dinner. I took a shower and sat down to just hang out and was out as soon as I sat down. Again, Seth woke me up to put me to bed. At some point in the night, IT got me. I woke up with a scratchy, sore throat due to drainage. I had a fever and was achy. I skipped church to stay in bed. I don't think I've got that much sleep in such a long time. The rest of the day I was pretty lazy. Other than being sick, it was good to spend time with Seth and his family. It was also nice to get away from the hustle and bustle. ;)
I had already taken today off to go to the dentist. It sucked that I did so much driving but it was good to know I didn't have to do a lot today. I'm feeling better but my voice comes and goes. I've spent most of my afternoon/evening napping and getting organized. I finally got my Thirty One merchandise which I'm super excited about. I already used some over the weekend! LOVE IT!
On a side note... giving up shopping will not be easy for Lent especially when I got 2 different Macy's catalogs and 1 clearance catalog from Victoria's Secret. I knew this would be a test of will power. I didn't know it would happen so quickly!
A long but AWESOME quote...
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~ Maya Angelou
