Whew!
I just spent the greatest weekend with my family.
Knowing that i got done with my summer class the Friday before July 4th, I still haven't had time to be by myself. That Sunday, my Mom and Brad came into town to do the DMA's Convention at the Opryland Hotel. I helped them out Sunday, Monday, and then on Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, they had left to go to Flordia to do a Tremaine's convention so I was left alone with the other vendors for those two days. TALK ABOUT STRESS!!!!! Needless to say, i didn't make too much. On Thursday, I had to pack up all the merchandise and take it to the loading dock. I was driving Justins' Dad's HUGE Ford F150...Down Briley pkwy where all the construction is, and the lanes are REALLY close together.
I finally got back to the Boro-My dad and the kids and Linda were waiting there. (For like 30 min, b/c i had to stop on the side of the road and put a cardboard box into a trashbag b/c i was getting ready to run into some major rain). The box got a little wet, but didn't soak through to the clothes (THANK GOD!)
Dad and Linda left shortly after the kids got there. Dad instructed me on giving Abbi her meds.
I must admit, i thought it would be harder to take care of the kids-but they weren't much of a problem. We all managed to keep ourselves busy doing things like going to the Greenway and playing with the 'waterfalls' and going to my apartment and getting most of my other belongings (Thanks kids!)
Abbi made dinner both Friday and Saturday night. I ended up not going to work b/c:
a). I felt like crap---i think i have a major ulcer or some kind of gastrointestinal problems
b). I felt even more like crap---I kept on breaking out into cold sweats and coughing.
c). The kids were here-and hey-how many times do i get to spend time with just them? Not their friends, or Mom and Dad and everyone else, just THEM.
I would post some pics that i took while we were at the Greenway, but unfortunately they are on my sisters camera, and well...She still hasn't sent me any.
All in all, i don't want to go to work today, b/c now my sickness has turned into a head cold or something like that. I'm waking up with no voice, or sounding like a really sick person, and coughing up phlegm.
Tomorrow, my Mom and Brad will be back from FL and coming here to p/u their merchandise.
I have a dentist appt. Tomorrow. They called this morning, a missed call, but didn't leave a message, so i'm glad that i called the # back, otherwise i wouldn't have known that i had a dentist appt. Tomorrow.
I think i'll go into work some tomorrow, to make up for my lost hours on work for Friday.
In the meantime, i have laundry to do, and a couple of boxes to unpack. I've got 97% of my things from the apartment. My room is totally clean, except for the white cable cord that i can't unscrew from the wall. (At the old apartment). I still have *some* food in the fridge, a couple of items in the laundry room, and then a couple of this and that in the kitchen/ living room.
I guess my SUMMER time for myself will start on Wednesday--even then, i'll probably be pressure washing Lona's house for some $$$$$$.
My mom's and aunts birthday is this Thursday, so i'll be in town then to spend it with them....I have NO idea how old my Mother is going to be.
