Under the Weather

These are the latest photos from Rebecca...Maya is so angelic and Ethan always has that sparkle in his eye.

I'm at home this week struggling with bronchitis. I just can't seem to get going without coughing, wheezing and just feeling crappy! Dr. said it would take 3 or 4 days for the meds to work and I am feeling a little better, but I'm bored and ready to be doing something else besides laying on the couch, watching tv, surfing the net and working on my lesson plans and board certification project for school. How can someone who is sick accomplish so much? I've even been grocery shopping on line this am. I'm worried about school, but know it will go on whether I am there or not. Brian is encouraging me to stay home tomorrow too, and really give my body a good rest to get over this. I'm beginning to think that is what I will do, as I have 7 classes scheduled with no break at all. I think I'm going to call at noon and see if my sub would like to do it all again tomorrow.

Today is Geep's Birthday and it was Claire's yesterday. I thought about her a couple of times during the day yesterday. I think I need to make a post for facebook for the family.

The outlook with the weather is for a "Winter Event" starting in the evening tomorrow. The weather folks have everyone wound up and ready to hunker down. Which is all fine and good and we need to be prepared, but they've done this twice already and we didn't get a drop of anything. When it does it for real, I'm afraid we may be a little complacent. I just ordered my groceries and will pick them up later. Plan to run the tub full if we stay home tomorrow night. No power means no bathroom. We would like to head to the lake, before the snow and stay there. It's easier there, even without power. We will need to go check on it, if we don't go, in case the power goes off. The pipes will freeze! It usually hits so if one house is without, then the other will be too.

Baxter is keeping me company. What a good kitty he is.
