Have I mentioned how sick we have all been? If you’ve been by here or Livin With Me then you know we have all been sick. Here’s a brief run down- the week before Christmas I got sick- it ended up being bronchitis. I’m still sick (3 weeks later). On New Years Even Rich got a stomach bug and Hailey’s nose started running. On Friday she started coughing. On Saturday both Hailey and I both got the stomach bug. On Tuesday we found out Hailey has pneumonia. So, as you can imagine it’s been a crazy few weeks.
What happens when I’m sick for three weeks straight? I end up with a huge to do list. So, in order to help myself not feel quite so overwhelmed I’m making a list of what I need to do:
- Unpack our suitcases. We got home on Monday and all of the suitcases still need to be unpacked.
- Laundry. We have laundry like you wouldn’t believe!
- Write thank you notes. I usually keep on top of this, but I am behind. Very, very behind.
- Bills- I pay bills on Thursdays.
- Food- we were away for a week and a half. When we got home I bought milk and bread. Other than that- we’re out of food!
- Target- we need stuff at Target. Things like new toothbrushes without all the germs and dog food, so we don’t have to feed Dottie people food anymore- not that she minds.
- Catch up on my email.
- Catch up on visiting some of my favorite blogs.
- Find homes for SOME of Hailey’s new toys.
- Put away my new gifts.
- Put away Rich’s new gifts.
- Fill in my new calendar… I’m know I’ve probably missed sending out some birthday cards because I haven’t done my new calendar yet.
- Try to relax for a few minutes so I can feel better.
Stop by Thursday Thirteen to see who else is playing along this week.

Getting the rest you need to recuperate is probably going to be the hardest to do.
I played this week too.

What happened is that the hub owners were already struggling to keep it going when the daughter/granddaughter – a 7 year old girl – was diagnosed with leukemia. I think it must have hit them really hard. From the moment they posted the notice – on the Wednesday of Christmas Eve – until they took the site down completely was less than 7 days. There I was on Christmas eve with my half-baked post already up and everyone offering condolences instead. Honest, it was a shocker.

We woke up and the Thursday Thirteen was gone. Will it be back? No one knows. But for now here’s a little spot on the web to bring us all together again. http://www.thursday-13.com
