A liddle stobbed ub

Christmas break is here, and that means one thing; I'll be getting sick. I don't know if it's allergies or a cold but my eyes feel like they are just about to pop out of my head. I've steamed, I've pressed, I've vaporised. It's just not working. Those sinuses are hurting! But I pressed on and went to run all the first day of break errands: bank, post office, craft store, department store, outlet mall. And did I mention I had two 8 yr old boys in tow? I'm pretty sure that by noon I was certifiable. But just in case I wasn't, the trip to the gym did the job!

I have all the shopping done, but not a single thing wrapped. If it weren't for the in-laws we wouldn't have anything under the tree. And yes, the tree is fully decorated, with a snazzy looking tree skirt/bedsheet. I even hung some garland and put a mini-tree in the loft. I will post pictures later this afternoon when I can think of where I've put the camera. Until then, I'll lay here in bed and watch the Regis & Kelly holiday pajama party.

Aw. I hope you feel better.

I haven't finished shopping yet. Nothing like shopping on Christmas Eve. Sigh.


Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!

I hope you are feeling better, I am all too familiar with "teacher flu" that arrives on the first day of vacation and miraculously disappears just before school starts up again! Drat. I hope it doesn't last. Stay in bed as long as you can.

Do you know what a neti-pot is? It was on Oprah, and I used one today. And it was gross. But it worked.

Just say Julie said...

Bliss- I have two things that I saw went on sale so I may trek back out to the toy store. Do you think many people are shopping at midnight?

CL- This sucks.

Saucy- I have a cousin who swears by the neti pot. I can't get over the gross factor to try it, but saw that I can purchase them at Wal-greens.
