This morning after I dropped Kaylee off at school, I came home and was just overwhelmed by fatigue. I laid down on the couch, and I hesitate to admit, I fell back asleep. And I STAYED asleep for 3 hours!! I woke up just in time to get Kaylee home from school! I have N E V E R done that, not even when I felt sicker than I did today. Never! Apparently I needed the rest, because I had all these grand plans, and instead I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was kind of weird. I was just wiped.

Got Kaylee, fixed her a good lunch of chicken noodle soup, and then started in on my house. I finished all the laundry loads, and even got all of mine put away. Kaylee got all of her jammies, undies, socks, and ballet outfits put away, and all her stuffed animals and toys. I swept the kitchen floor, vacuumed the living room, did two loads of dishes, went through my paperwork, cleaned off the hot spots that collect things, got Kaylee's Christmas school thing signed and done, checks written, the whole ball of wax. It was a very productive day! If I could skip the whole coughing thing (which is getting on Kaylee and Steve's nerves as much as it is mine), I'd feel much better!

Got Kaylee some cheese pizza, fresh and raw snap peas, and a small bowl of grapes for supper, along with milk. I had some of the pizza, a Diet Coke and later a bowl of egg nog ice cream. What can I say, she didn't see me. ;)

We studied her Awanas verses for awhile, and then I started playing Crazy 8's with her. She's pretty good! She won one of the games we played, I won the rest (I tried to lose after I'd won a few in a row but I had lucky cards I guess!) Then Steve came home and he played two rounds with us and won both times. She was a little put out that she didn't win, but I basically told her "such is life, you won't always win." Which is of course quite true!

She handed me the card for the game and said "Here Mommy, here are the destructions." Of course it was the INstructions, but I let her say 'destructions' several times just because I thought it was so cute. There were a couple others like that. Oh, I know. When she put down a card once, she started dancing in her seat and sing-songing "I'm so bad! Oh yeah, you know it!" I cracked up, I have no idea where she got that either, but it was pretty funny! She's such a good girl about going to bed these days, too. She's growing up too fast!

Tomorrow's Friday, and I'm going to be venturing out for the first time since I think Monday, to go to the airport for lunch. I shall try to medicate so that I'm not hacking too much in public and scaring people. The temp I had two days ago has been gone for 24 hours, the coughing is down, the stamina seems to be up considering what I got done today, so I'll give it a whirl.

Thoughts go out to a friend who is having a medical procedure done tomorrow. Anybody who'd like to say a prayer for a speedy recovery and an as easy as possible procedure (and good results) for this lovely lady would be much appreciated!
