Pitiful

Whenever I get sick, I am the most pitiful person and so wimpy. I feel helpless, like everyone does, and I hate having to stay in one place for longer than an hour. Comliments of having ADD. *giggle* Well Zac is sick with Bronchitis from what the doctor said this morning. I came home from spending a couple of hours with Red last night, and I see my cute and adorable hubby at the computer. I ask him how he is feeling, and he tells me, "awful". I walked over to him and put my hand on his head and he is burning up. At this point, I'm like, "oh crap" because I don't know what he may have. Munchkin had a fever the day before and had a little fever when I left Red's house last night. I felt really shaky and kind of nauseous, so I went home. But getting home to a hubby who isn't feeling well, just kind of sent my stomach for a turn. When he doesn't feel good, my mercy gift goes into overdrive and starts to worry. Well he took some Tylenol, and he still had a high fever, and then a massive headache, and the cold chill from the fever. Needless to say, he looked a little pitiful. I started to get a little scared because his mom told me when he gets sick, he gets sick fast. I thought he had the beginnings of the Flu and I was not about to get myself into that. He put himself in the spare bed in the office and I took our bed because he didn't want to get me sick. I fell asleep for an hour at a time, woke up every hour to check on him, see how his fever was doing, it hadn't gone down, took more tylenol, and I went back to bed as soon as my stomach started hurting again. I did this from 10:30pm until about 12:30am. Once my stomach finally stopped playing tricks, I told Zac to come to bed with me. I hate sleeping in our bed by myself. I didn't care if I got sick at that point. I just wanted him to be in the same room with me, so that way I could monitor him and his breathing.
Well 10:50 this morning, we were able to get to the doctor. And of course the doctor said that it didn't sound like the flu, but he was going to treat him for Bronchitis. I'm thankful it wasn't the flu. yuck. So Zac and I are at home, and I am trying to convince him to stay in bed...yep, that will never happen. lol.

Our First Christmas and New Years as a Married Couple

This year Zac and I stayed home for our First Christmas as a married couple. It was fantastic. His Mom kept saying, "if you want us to come up before or after Christmas, just let us know, and we'll come up!" Umm...NO!!!!! What part of we want to be by ourselves don't they understand?!?! Everyone keeps saying, "you won't be able to pull that off with any of your family as a newly married couple. At least not until you have kids." Great! Notice the sarcasm. But I made it perfectly clear to his family, that we were staying home for Christmas and New Years. My parents flew in to see us and stayed with me and Zac for a couple of days. It was great seeing my parents. Since they live in a different state, it is hard being able to see them anytime we want. Zac and I both with they lived closer, but that isn't an option right now. Maybe when we move out of state, we can live closer to them.
But Christmas and New Years was quiet, peaceful and just the two of us. YEAH! It was really wonderful. Maybe we can pull this off again next year? LOL. Yeah right, but hey, I can dream can't I?

The Oddballs of the Family

I am sure everyone thinks that their family is so bizarre and that you are the only one that is normal. Yep, I would have to think the same as well. My immediate family, of course are normal, but relatives, like grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. are so strange. This year everyone in our whole family, had to draw a family members name out of a hat (which of course is always the grandparents that do the drawing and just assigns and tells everyone who they got) and to buy a Christmas gift for said chosen person. The limit was $30 per person. That is reasonable. We did that for both sides of the family, my mom's side, and my dad's side. I had my Uncle on my Dad's side and my cousin on my Mom's side. Well it got them something normal, and that appealed to their interests. My cousin, who drew my name out as well, got me a Christmas card with a bunch of scratch off lottery tickets....ummm...thanks??? I don't buy scratch offs, I think they are a waste of time and money, and it is not being a good steward of what God entrusted us with, meaning not being responsible for the money God entrusted us to have. Anyways, so not knowing what I had to do with a scratch off, except of course to scratch on them (duh). I had to actually read the instructions to make sure I didn't screw it up or anything. lol. Well I scratched them all, and behold, what did I win?!?! $30!!! The same amount as the one we were instructed to get for each other. Duh, I should have just been given the $30. That would have been so much easier and smarter. lol. Oh well. At least I got the the value of all the tickets purchased, lol.
Well, enough about me and my weird family, lol. I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!
