sick, tired and anything in between

It's almost Christmas and how unlucky for me and the girls to be getting the flu at this time of the year. Jewelle was the first one who got the cold virus. She was fine just a little runny nose here and there. Then Jelynn started to cough early this week I wanted to give her medicine but it'll be a struggle to get her to drink it. She'll probably throw it up anyways so we just left it like that. I woke up wed. morning with an itchy throat. I know then I caught the bug the girls have . I drank alot of orange juice maybe I'm lacking Vitamin C hahah. But didn't work so I went to get some Dayquil thought of killing the virus before it takes over my body but was too late ...late afternoon weds my body was aching like I was run over by ten horses. Thursday was the worst!!. I couldn't even stand up too long because it was making me dizzy. But I had to get a better meds. So I took the girls to Rite-Aid in their pajamas and bought some Zicaim. I've been hearing great stuff about it so I thought I might try it. When we got home I drank the med which is in a spoon you stir it in a hot or cold liquid and drink it like that. After drinking the meds I fell asleep with Jewelle. Gosh I felt bad because I was too weak to fully take care of the girls. I felt like I needed to go run to my daddy and ask him to fly 500 miles to san diego to take care of my girls. I could barely stand up to get the girls some food. Slept most of the time thursday with jewelle. Friday we all felt a little better, lots of runny nose for the three of us still though. The girls and I went to buy some milk and frozen foods at albertson's and we also sent our Xmas cards too. When we went home the three of us fell asleep again. I know we needed to recharge I guess. When we woke up we ate some lunch and played for a little while. Jewelle and I fell asleep again at about 5pm while Jelynn was playing at the computer. Gosh I woke up at around 8pm and then I cooked some dinner for me and Jelynn. After dinner Jelynn fell asleep. Both the girls woke up at around midnight. I finally had them go back to sleep at 2am. I set my alarm clock at 530Am so I can watch the Grand Finale of Pinoy Dream Academy but I was too tired soI was desperately trying to figure out our TiVo at 5am. I finally did figure it out just in time for the beginning of PDA. Went back to sleep and at 7am phone was ringing. thought I was dreaming or something. It was Cherry asking me if I bought the writing art desk for Jelynn yet because she's in Toys R Us. I said no also told her to tell Grace we couldn't go to Grace's party today because we're all sick. Still recuperating. We're all better now though, thank God. Hopefully by Monday we wont have the cough and runny nose. I have to go buy some late minute gifts for the parents and parents in law. Still have to go to the post office to send gifts to Ohio. The San francisco gifts would probably be pick up by the parents because they might be coming for New Year's. Still need to buy Rico some gifts too. Did buy him the USC Jersey he wanted but that's about it. I'm still thinking what the girls can give their dad. I have a bout a week left to buy or do some gifts for him from the girls and I. He'll be home on Friday and the girls are so excited. They've been missing him like crazy especially my little one.

If we don't have the cold after next week I want to take the girls to see the snow. It's been awhile since we went out of town. It'll be nice to go to the mountains and see some snow. It'll also be nice to be out of the house. I think the three weeks the girls and I were left alone. I did scrap scrap and scrap. I still have four layouts I started but unable to finish. I guess my mojo is getting restless or maybe getting tired because of the holidays heheh. It'll be nice to get out of the house for a bit. I still don't know what we'll do for my birthday. Yep! I'm turning 26 on the 4th of January. Gosh I'm old lol...hahhahI want to go out of town like say Vegas? But we'll see if Rico is in the mood to drive probably not. But I do really want to get away, he'll be leaving on March and there's just a couple of months of precious times with the four of us. It'll be nice to spend it away from TVs, PSPs, Computers so we can really focus our time on each other.

Update on Pinoy Dream Academy for people who watch it heheh Yeng won ...ewww LOL..I'm for Chad but I know he won't win anyways. I was rooting for Jay R too just because I think HE needs it the most but not only that he is a great singer. Oh well. I did enjoy subscribing to the show. I will surely miss watching them live in the computer. They gave me lots and lots of laughters sometimes they made me cry just because it's the "drama sa likod ng pangarap."

Scrapbooking is still going okey. Still haven't finished my Ct requirements for this month.I feel bad but it's just that I can't get motivated right now hehehe. The layouts that I've been posting have been sitting in my desktop for days. I just couldn't finish it for some reasons. When I did I'm not totally happy with it. Oh well I guess I need to lay low for awhile. The holidays probably took my mojo lol. Also haven't been buying so many stuff just because I know they'll go on sale by next week.. hehehe Paypal has been suffering big time lol. I did manage to buy some this week, just a little stuff here and there:


Bough these at DDE. It was on sale for two days and I just couldn't resist those ribbons hehe.
