I’m sick.

It’s not something that I am usually willing to admit to, but the charade is over.  It started yesterday when I found myself getting the scratchy throat and chills.  I don’t do sick.  I have too much to do to be sick.  I can’t be sick.  I have kids to teach, a house to try to clean, writing to do.

I gave in and admitted it to the world.

Officially sick. Ugh. I hope the hubby brings home a good treat tonight, like ice cream. I need treats, access to the DVR, and Theraflu.

Ask and it will be given to you… Luke 11:9 (NIV)

Well I asked for something cold and citrus-y to soothe my sore throat and look what he brought home!

I wonder if he knows how much I loved the Ciao Bella Key Lime Graham sandwiches (Gelato Squares) that I got from BJ’s last year.  They were so good – I didn’t share, and I look for them every time I go in to shop.  Not that I need it, but I just want it.

Still haven’t found them… 🙁

I didn’t get the DVR, but I got a treat and Theraflu – 2 out of three? Not bad at all.

Right this very minute – my idea of a great party would be to drop the kids off at my cousin’s house and get in the bed with what’s left of my Ciao Bella Key Lime Graham Gelato, but no such luck.  I am doing what I do – making meals, teaching, blogging, and making pretty pictures for people.
