Flu

Well, I'm going on day 7 of being sick and feeling worse than ever. I still have a temp, sore throat, headache, cough, fatigue, body aches, etc. I slept from 1-5 today and then called it a day at 7 pm. I just woke up at 11 pm and tried to force myself to eat. I've lost almost 5 lbs since Monday. I think it's influenza. I've had the flu one other time in my adult life and that was during college. The odd thing is that Olivia and I both got our flu shots this year. I miss my daughter as I didn't even get to help put her to bed tonight. And she keeps asking when I'm going to feel better. So, I don't know if I go to the doctor or not. Can they even do anything for the flu after I've had it for a week? I just want to feel better. Ugghh. I hope all of you are staying well.

Olivia's School Pics

Awww. . .how cute is she?  She isn't smiling her usual big smile, but sometimes when she oversmiles, she shuts her eyes and you can't see them.  Here you can see her pretty eyes. :)  What a sweet girl!

So, I’m kinda proud to be a Wichitan this week.  First, Cabela’s opened today (okay, so I don’t really care about that, but a lot of people do.)  Not only is Kansas University in the NCAA tournament, but so is Kansas State University (my husband’s alma mater) and Wichita State University (my alma mater.)  So, if you need some teams to root for. LOL!  And, the biggest news of the week. . .tomorrow our very first free-standing Chick-Fil-A restaurant will open.  It’s about time!  And, no. . .I’m not one of those 100 people camping out for 24 hours to receive free Chick-Fil-A for a year.  I’ve actually been sick in bed for the past 2 days with a sore throat,  headache, body aches and temp.  Yuck!  I think I’m on the mend.  But, it’s been awhile since I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with a 101 temp.  I rarely even get fevers anymore.  This must have been the same stuff that Olivia had a few days ago, but she handled it much better than me.  She’s such a trooper. 

Here we are being silly last week. . .

What an absolutely gorgeous day today!  I’m not much of an outdoorsy kind of girl, but on days like today I most certainly am.  I gave Olivia her choice of what to do outside and she wanted to head to the park and play in the sand. . .so, that’s what we did.  We had such a good time.

She’s not really asleep in this picture.  She wanted to lay down and pretend to be asleep and have me take her picture.  Haha!  So here she is pretending to be asleep. 

We are in the process of repainting our house.  We’ve finally picked a color (that’s quite a challenge.)  It should be painted within the next few weeks.  I’ll be sure to post the before and after pictures.
