Over the Weekend

I got sick Sunday! No fun at all. Still not feeling so good but life does go on. My allergies have caused a sinus infection. So my head feels like it is about to explode. Eyeballs feel like they are bulging out of the sockets. My nose is dry and running at the same time and the nasal passages are on fire! And know it feels like the stuff is trying to go into my lungs.

The decongestant is not working at all. I hate to taking them. But to take them and then the don't work?? UGH!! I should have had my diffuser going with eucalyptus oil. It was clogged and I just didn't have the energy to get it going. So I finally got it going this morning. That should help some. I had to use my albuteral this morning. It always gives me the jitters. But at least I can breath easier. I am just shaking like a spastic now.

On to more interesting things. Went to my nephew's 15th birthday party BBQ Saturday. 15 teenage boys playing football. Sweat and testosterone, what a combination. Sweet kids but boy do they smell! I wish I could bottle their energy. It was a great gathering the boys playing football, the men playing football and us girls just sitting and visiting. 11 to 4 and the boys still were going strong. Not just the odor.

I cooked 48 hotdogs and maybe 12 were left. That is in addition to 2 cases of pop a case of chips, the single bags, and 2 cases of water. Oh and cake and cupcakes. How they can eat like that remains a mystery to every mom the world over.

It can really make one feel old to see that the cute little baby boy that one used to change their diapers are now becoming young men. They grow up so fast. But they are a lot more fun now. More work but more fun.

I love kids. My mom alway told me, " If you make a child your friend you will have a friend for life". My grandmother passed it to her. I find it is true. Some of my dearest friends are children. They see you for who you are and like you anyway.
