Taking Sick Leave...

No...my kidney stones aren't causing me any problems...YET! Since about Tuesday, I've been having the worst head congestion and overall achiness. I thnk it's just a bad head cold, but it's knocked me for a loop. So, with that being said, I've decided to take a bit of a break from blogging until Monday sometime. I need to get over this "crud" that I've been fighting. I'll do my best to pop over and visit each of you sometime this weekend. A-CHOO!!!

Brittany has her first cross country race of the season bright and early tomorrow morning. She's trained very hard all summer long, so I think she's ready to go! She'll be running in the fastest heat, so that will force her to push herself extra hard. I'll be sure and report back about how she did sometime next week. With this being her last season to run cross country at the high school level, every race is bittersweet. I sure hope I'll be strong enough to hold back the tears!

Enjoy your weekend!

Get well girl! Summer cold are no fun at all.

Hey, my good friend's son is a senior this year. He wants to run Cross Country in college. They are looking at Christian schools...hopefully with scholarships. I will let you know what they find out. I've heard her talk about Tabor and John Brown.

I have had a cold and head congestion too! Last week I had two nights when I felt really yucky... I am on the mend now, hope you are too. Good luck to Brittany!

Praying for a quick recovery...I'm getting over a sinus yuck myself.

Saw the note about John Brown...I lived in Siloam when I was teaching. That's where my church camp was too...Siloam, not John Brown.

I hope you get well soon! No fun being sick. I can't believe that I have not had cold in ages. You would think that working in a skilled nursing facility that I would get sick more often. But in the nearly 7 years I have caught only two major things. The norovirus one of the times it hit us and some other flu bug in 2007 that lasted over a week. Other than that I have been really lucky. No head colds or sinus infections is forever. Oh, but I have had ear infections now and then and in 2006 my hubby and I were battling staph infections. My main problem now is arthritis and this darn shoulder pain which turned out to me calcified tendonitis. It just has to go away on its own, but it is taking forever to do that. The shoulder pain was the reason I cut my hair. Too painful to reach up and fix it.

I remember my daughter's senior year. The last time to do various things. It is kind of hard sometimes to realize your child is finishing one stage in their life and getting ready to start another. Part of being a parent I guess.

Take care now and get well fast!

Oh, dear girl, I've been catching up on all your posts, and my goodness, there's a lot of news and interesting tidbits... Firstly, I'm so sorry to know you've been suffering with them nasty stones and hope that a miracle will occur and God will turn them into silt!!! Bless your cotton socks! And now you're all stuffy. Got Vics Vapour Rub for your chest? Hope it clears real soon. I recently read research stating that for children, being held close and comforted with a lot of physically attention, in alot of cases had a more beneficial effect than medicines; get your man to hold you close, Lady! I'm sure there are benefits in that for adults as well... he's probably got your germs anyhoo ;)!!! so snuggle up! Tell him he has to have a sick day in bed too!
Now about that Andrew's Mum!!! Who IS this woman??? Brittany so needs to make herself unavailable to him... with your beautiful guidance I'm sure she'll see that soon... Precious girl!... You rest up, puff them pillows and sip chamomile and lemon tea. Night night! N xxx
