Feelin like crap

The youngest has successfully passed his cold onto me, and the oldest. I felt it coming on last night and took something, thinking maybe it won't get me as bad. I think I was wrong. I'm feeling worse and worse as the day goes on. I did not want to get out of bed this morning, especially early. I did not sleep good because I just never felt comfortable. We had plans for today so I had to get up and get going. Got the car taken care of, didn't take long at all. No major problems with the front side. Went and got a new printer. Of course, what I wanted they didn't have. Hubby didn't want to buy a printer at staples because he thought walmart was cheaper. They are cheaper, if when you find what you want it is sitting on the shelf, because no body that works there is going to actually look for something that's not already out on the floor. I wanted to go to Mass to Kmart, but hubby didn't want to do all that back tracking. So walmart it was. I didn't get exactly what I wanted, but it's close and cheaper than what I wanted. The ink for this printer is a few dollars more than the one I wanted. Of course, walmart was out of the ink this printer takes to. Why am I not surprised. The oldest went with us and spent some of his money. On iTunes cards, lol. The rest I told him he has to save to look for a new pair of work boots. I had made an appt to have my ppd done while the car was in the shop, since my office is in front of the mechanics shop. I have to go back on Wednesday to have my arm checked anyway, so I will take the oldest along and he can shop for shoes. Then, if he has money left over, he can buy his books in the series he's reading.

I have my first course all printed out and all I want to do is take a nap, lol. It's getting kind of late to sleep so maybe I'll try to hang in there and just go to bed early tonight. While we were in Walmart, I bought some vitamins. I take a multivitamin every day, but sometimes it's not enough. My mom always takes lots of vitamins for different things. I always thought she was crazy, but now, I'm thinking maybe not. Her and my father are both really healthy for their ages. She always bought every vitamin book that came her way and tried everything in them to. Maybe it's paying off now. I know my immune system is weakened from all the antibiotics I've taken recently, so I got some vitamins to strengthen my immune system. This is the first cold I've had in years. Not only has it been a long winter, it's going to be a sick winter for me. I'm sure the groundhog didn't see his shadow today. He probably couldn't dig himself out from under all this snow we have, lol. We are not in for the major snow storm they were predicting for tomorrow. It's going to stay south of us to miss us. That's good since I really don't want any more snow.

The boys finally go back to school tomorrow. Yeah!!!! They didn't have school today because of it being make up day for the Regents. I think the third week of this month is their winter break. Another week off!! Don't know why, they're never in school anyway.

The fool is leaving for India on the 12th of this month. He's supposed to be gone for 3 weeks. We'll see what happens. Hubby's friends daughter is getting married March 10 and really wants hubby to go. He even changed the date so hubby could be there. Hubby has a cousin in Ohio who wants to go for 2 months. He's also trying to plan his trip around the time hubby will be there. But, hubby's going all depends on if he gets the time off and if the fool comes back when he says he will. Out of all the times he's gone, only one time did he come back when he was supposed to. He was supposed to leave again the following month, but that didn't happen because his partner was over there. I still think he will end up staying longer than he's telling everyone, especially since he knows hubby wants to go. We'll see what happens.

Not much else going on. Should start thinking about dinner, that way I can crawl in bed early and either read or sleep. Still have a few things I need to do today and get my work bag ready for the week. Probably should send the boys to bed early to since they are not used to getting up early for school.

Your posts are so interesting! But, who is the "fool?"

As everyone in my 'extended family' are so full of themselves and so busy with their own little rat race of life-- I do the emailing, letter writing and communicating-- and I wonder what is wrong with our dysfunctional country.... duh..lol.
Are we all that lazy?? Ha!

Good to hear that you have a great life with some normalcy and joy! Hope your cold is better. I don't get colds or flu-- I am too mean...
