Yes, I’m feeling the love today…and the fever and phlegm. 
We’ve all been feeling a bit under the weather lately, but this morning I woke up feeling like I’ve hit the pinnacle of this cold. I’m weak and achey. While walking up to the gate when picking up Ashlyn from school, I suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. The ground beneath my feet felt as if it were sliding (similar to standing on a skateboard). Gosh, dropping to my knees would have been so embarrassing. 
It was scary, but luckily it passed quickly.
Last week Ashlyn and I decorated a shoe box to hold her collections of V-day cards and goodies. This afternoon, we emptied the box and read each card outloud. Over-commercialized holidays like Valentine’s becomes fresh and so sweet experiencing it through the eyes of a child. Ashlyn was beyond herself with giddiness as she went through her pile of cards…cherishing each and every one. Too cute!

I’m resting on the couch and taking it easy today. I’ve turned on the TV (which is strictly off limits M-Th) to keep the kiddies occupied. *tsk-tsk*, I know.

Oof. Sounds just like what I had a couple of weeks ago. Get better soon, Peg! Oh, and Happy Valentines Day to you guys too!

Feel better soon! I watched the news last night and instead of giving out cards and treats, one little girl gave everyone a flourescent lightbulb to help prevent global warming! Cool idea for next time.

i hope it passes soon, peg. it’s terrible being sick and still have to be responsible for things.
that’s so true about re-experiencing things through a child!
