Well, after I thought my laryngitis was gone, I felt a cold coming on and by yeaterday afternoon I was really stuffed up, coughing and sneezing! No fever or aches, so I don't think it is the "swine" flu. I feel a little better today after taking many different drugs to relieve my symptoms. Maybe I will be back to normal soon!
Even with my cold, I had a very nice Mother's Day. Church was nice, though I couldn't sing with the choir as I had a bass voice yesterday. We went to Cory's for lunch. My chicken was very good, but the service was very slow. I got some nice cards from the kids and a box of chocolate from Jeff. Discovered a voice message on my cell phone and Mary's friend, Brandon, surprised me with Mother's Day wishes. How thoughtful! We took naps as always on Sunday, and then watched some TV and ate pizza.
Mary is helping Matthew with a huge english assignment. We hope that he can get it done. Mary had her own project that she finished. It was quite impressive english assignment. They have less than 3 weeks of school left. Time really flies by. Mary turns 17 on Saturday. She wants to go out to dinner together. Not sure what else she'd like to do. Probably spend time with her friends. I just want her to be happy!
Tonight is our first church softball game. It is also choir awards night. Jeff and Sarah are going to play ball, and I am going to the awards banquet. I need to bake brownies and cupcakes for the event. Last week of HS baseball and there are two concerts this week. I am looking forward to both of them. Next week Matthew starts driver's education! I can't believe it! Look out world!
Sarah needs to work on unpacking her stuff, apply for a scholarship and consider other job opportunities. The only problem with a summer job would be trying to go on a family vacation. Are they a thing of the past for us???
That is all for now... Better get baking and start the laundry, again!
