What in the world am I going to do?
I still have this rotten lousy old flu?
My nose is all cracked, dry and peeling
I really look very unappealing!
Every day I neeed an afternoon nap
I hate feeling this lazy & crap!
My poor head is all airy & woozy
I'm still in my PJ's like an old floozy.
I'm full to the top of green gooey snot
At least my fevers are no longer hot.
My body still aches for most of the day.
I need more of my nasal spray.
Maybe next year I will get a flu shot
If they can provide alot,
Why oh why are there not enough?
When living with the flu is so tough.
Well I am back off to my bed
To rest my snotty aching head.
Please let me get better over night
So I do not not look such a scary sight!
Feeling
Lousy
Unbearable

Third Day of NaBloPoMo
So what do you do when you are sick at home for the week with the flu? Oh yes let's challenge yourself by joining NaBloPoMo which means writing a post for 30 days non stop. I must be mad?
Well I'm watching Survivor and just had a gulty feeling that I have not posted today as I've been blowing my nostrils to pieces trying to keep up with the snot removal! This flu is a rotter. I've has the unable to get warm stage, shivers stage, headaches stage, achy body stage, exhausted stage and now I am at the snot stage. When will it end?????
Of course I could look at this through Pollyanna's eyes: "I'm feling a little under the weather so I stayed at home so that I would not spread my germs. I'm sure I will feel better tomorrow. Darn Survivor is back on got to go folks!
I know sad isn't it? At least I've posted today!

Knitting Queen?
As you may know from some of my older posts that are mainly posted in the winter I do dabble at knitting.
Since my mum died last year I wanted to be the one to carry on the family tradition. My children had great wardrobes of beautiful homemade sweaters and blankets that were well admired by our friends. So I bought a pattern for a sweater for number 3 in February 2009 to continue in her footsteps.
A cocky shop assistant talked me into buying it and convinced me that I could do it. It was one of those scenarios that your gut tells you there is no way you can attempt a pattern that complex but you do not want to look like a looser so you buy it anyway!
Normally I am a very strong personality so it is very rare that I get bullied by a shop assistant yet this was a great example of being caught "off guard." I was determined to prove to myself that I could and would finish this god dam sweater.
It took 10 months of constantly rushing to my mentor who lives down the road to get this sweater completed. It has travelled from NH to FL, ME and MA. I lost faith in it, unravelled it at least twenty times and swore at it as I cried many tears of pain and frustration.
Well it is complete and it is running a tad on the short side: nothing that a few good pulling sessions will not fix.
My son was thrilled at first as I have drummed into him how much love has gone into making this sweater, however my heart has just been broken!
I pulled his clothes out for him to wear tomorrow and he said "I don't want to wear that sweater as the kids will laugh at me!" Since I am recovering from a heavy dose of the flu I had a hissy fit & stormed out of the room. Sir L went to try & resolve the issue.
He found that number 3 likes the sweater but only for home use as another kid at school wore a homemade sweater & everyone teased him.
I could understand if we lived in the city......hell most of the kids around here are dressed in Walmart specials. Peer pressure or what?
Needless to say my next masterpiece will be a scarf for me!

How many lives does a dog have?
We nearly lost Molly our 7 month old lab this weekend. Infact she has had quite a rough week.
She chewed through her new lead which we have had for almost 2 weeks...the rotter.
Worse still she attacked my daughters Uggs & chewed the fur off them......we are in the process of sticking them back together! My daughter is trying to find it in her heart to re-bond with the dog.
Then she wandered off & did not come home for a hour...I thought that she had been eaten by a wild animal!
On Saturday we had a bonfire party and Sir L was chopping wood with his electric saw mill. Molly picked up the wire and bit through it. She went into electric convulsions and her mouth was jammed to the wire. Thank god Sir L is an electrical engineer by trade as he picked up the wire wth the dog dangling on it and shook her off it. When she hit the floor she woke up. The first I heard of it was the dog screaming in pain and running around the garden.
I grabbed her and her whole body was shaking & her eyes were rolling. We managed to calm her down and found that her tongue has a "cooked line across it."
She is ok but we were all distarught.
I'm wondering if she is related to Marley???????????????

Smelly people day!
So I am now working fewer hours & have joined the "lucky day shoppers group." (Whilst in the process of trying to get another job.) No more frantic rushes after work to pull a dinner together. Lucky me I thought...or not as the case may be today!
Since I live in the boonies once a month I travel an hour to go to the larger supermarket to stock up. Plus we had a few flurries today urging me onwards incase of a snow day so I hit the highway.
I pulled into the parking lot, grabbed a trolley and hit the aisles.
Now I do not think that I am snobby however today tested my "keeping your gob closed capabilities."
The shop was heaving with hefty looking folk and it seemed to me that they all seemed to have a nasty body odor, greasy hair, grubby clothes & tight fitting leggings showing lots of knicker lines (the chunky chinny ones!).
Oh my the stress!
The lady in front of me lets call her "Big Bessie" with her partner "Pongy Peter" smelt so badly of wee I thought that I was going to faint whilst looking for their puddle on the floor!
Over at the vegetables aisle I was loading a bag with broccli and the man next to me smelt of shower gel I was so surprised and happy I nearly commented on his cleanliness!!!! I fought for control of myself as I realised what a tart I was being , he would probably think that I was trying to pick him up!
But when I got to the check out with the hundreds of "stinkers" (as they had long queues) the lady in front of me "Queen Muck" had a cart full of white processed bread, donuts, chocolate bars, frozen ready made meals and grape soda. I swear there were fumes coming off her! I was so tempted to get her attention and say "oh my, love you have forgotten to buy soap try over in aisle 1 and grab some bleach too you smelly cow!" I did'nt. Too make it worse she was pregnant. Then to cap it all she bought a huge box of cigarettes.
My mouth was twitching to give her a mouthful, however you would be so proud of me as I managed to control myself!
What is happening to the world?

Sisterly love
You may ask what is this?
This is Tiptoe a stuffed pet rat that Santa gave to number 3 last year. He has become a treasured member of our family...probably because I loathe rats & constantly find him hidden in my bed or car! Much to my kids delight!
Well our darling 6 month old lab Molly decided she was a little jealous of the attention that Tiptoe receives from our kids and attacked him over night.
When we woke up he was missing two paws.....number 3 goes into hysteria..wanting to get rid of the dog, his life will never be the same blah blah blah!
Darling sister jumps to the rescue & offers to sew him up & put him in a hospital bed to recuperate.
Situation resolved...thank you darling daughter!
Here is the guilty culprit.......
