candy's life

Due to circumstances at work I will be unable to blog for awhile. I am currently working on getting internet at home and once that happens I will be up and running again. In the meantime if you need to contact me I am at colland2000@yahoo.com . Thank you to all who have come and checked me out!!

It seems like every time I actually have something to blog about something comes up preventing me from actually posting it!! If you have been following along you know that I have been sick.

It all started on Halloween. Yep that's right I was fine until then but on the actual holiday I get sick. I had to work in my son's class as one of three room parents. I show up and the main parent in charge is not there she is too sick to come in. At this point I still felt fine. We had a great time. We decorated sugar cookies and pumpkins. They had a whole workbook of coloring pictures and word finds. We even played pass the pumpkin. I was able to sneak out and check on my daughter and take pictures of both classes. Everything was going great. As we are leaving I suddenly realized that my head was splitting. Literally,I didn't even know if I could drive home. I did make it but then I ran to the bathroom and got violently ill. I took 3 Motrins, which seemed to help. We went to my friends for dinner then we walked around for trick-or-treating. The kids had a blast. We all got cold I still had a headache but not too bad.

The next morning I woke up with a cough not a real bad one but still a cough. By the time I got to work my head was starting to hurt again. By lunch I knew I was done for. I went home at 2 and slept till my husband got home then I sent him to go pick up the kids. I didn't get off the couch again until Friday morning.

When I woke up on Thursday my head was full of cotton I couldn't breathe out of my nose and I was coughing really bad.

I did go to work on Friday for about three hours for a manditory meeting but that was it. It is now Tuesday I still don't feel that great but I did work all day yesterday and I am here today.

Tonight I have conferences with the teachers and I hope to leave whatever I picked up there last week there for someone else. I know thats not very nice but I don't care. Thank you for all of the get well wishes and I hope to be back to normal soon.

You all have been coming to hear about my Halloween with the parties at school and trick-or-treating. But I can't. While I was at the school working the parties etc. I got a deliteful head cold I can't sit upright for any lenth of time. I can't think straight and apparintly I can't spell either. I will update on Monday regarding all the fun we had and about the fun work is when you can't focus. See you all then!!!


P.S. Blogger won't let me spellcheck waaaaaah!!

Wow thanks to the two of you that played along. I guess I should explain it for those who want to play but haven't. A= age S= sex not if your getting it just if you are a male or female and L= location city state whatever you are comfortable sharing. If you don't want to play I won't take it personal.

Halloween is in four days!! Want to know how I know that. No it's not because I looked at the calender. My six yr old T has had a running count for a month. No I am not kidding!! He is driving me crazy. Every night before bed he has to update me. "Mom tomorrow it will be 4 days till Halloween." Then in the morning we also get the update. My 9 yr old just rolls her eyes at me and I mumble under my breath,"Be Nice." So far she hasn't killed him. I can't wait for it to be over!! Is that bad of me?? I am working in T's class this year for the party and the teacher sent home a cute note saying that she would like all of the adults to dress up. I was in quite a panic I tell you but my friend Heather lent me a cat costume to wear so that crisis was averted.

Anyway, are you dressing up? If so as what? Thanks for stopping by.

I have changed the title 3 times now. I am really insecure I'm sure you don't care what I call it. OH well here goes.

I seem to be more awake lately and not so tired. I have been able to get up with the alarm so the morning routine seems to be going a little more smooth. Granted it's only Tuesday but I haven't been late to work at all this week.

I have been reading lots of blogs and trying to get ideas to keep mine semi interesting. One thing I came across that I thought was cool is A/S/L. I don't need your name and if you don't want to give one of the answers I understand but please play along. Since I am the one starting this I will go first. A= 30 S= F L= Grand Ledge, MI just west of Lansing.

It's Monday again. I had a busy weekend. Gee, I bet you couldn't tell that from the title. Friday night I met up with my friend Heather. She had a scope Friday morning and the results were not good. They think she may have some cancer in her stomach. This is very hard for her because her boyfriend is currently receiving chemo and radiation for throat cancer.
Saturday morning I walked in a 5K for breast cancer. It was alot of fun but very cold and rainy. Saturday night I had to clean the hall for our church and only slept for about 3 hours. When I got home from cleaning we packed up and met my parents for lunch in Clare. It was such a great time that I didn't even think about being tired until I got home. I slept from 5:30 till 9. Then I got up and tuck the kids in and watch the Tigers win!!! The series is now tied up!!! I hope we win. At midnight I went back to sleep only to get up at 6 this morning for work. I don't feel too tired and we have no afterschool activities tonight.
I know not a very interesting update but I will try to post again tomorrow and maybe I will be interesting then. We'll see......

Well sort of anyway!! My house is always a mess. I work full time, have two kids and I can never seem to get on top of things. It seems like I always have somewhere to be or something to do. But I have made up my mind. I am going to get my house clean. But where to start you might wonder. Check out this site www.flylady.net I was reading a blog one day (I am sorry I don't remember whose) and stumbled across this. I sort of tryed it up until now but I have decided to jump in with both feet. I will try to update you with how it is turning out but if I forget remind me.

M had a field trip today and she hasn't been feeling too good lately. No call from the teacher or the school so I am assuming that everything is OK but I can't stop thinking about her. I hope she is doing alright. Drop me a line in the comments when you stop by I know it takes time but it sure makes my day to know someone is checking on me every once in a while.
