Carousel
Alive
I took the day off again because I had a 99.7 fever last night. I had to slam together some lesson plans....This morning no fever, still terrible cough.
Sunday night I slept 12 hours, then parked on the couch and watched ER and Grey's Anatomy. Today is a Veronica Mars marathon.
All day yesterday I just had one slice of pizza. Thought I'd have leftovers for lunch today - alas, no. Still not too hungry.

Happy Mother's Day and Goals
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!
Yesterday, I would be up two hours, sleep two hours. That medicine knocked me on my butt. I did finish reading Your, Mine and Ours? and started The Hollow, and got through most of my blogroll and read all my MJ email. Weirdly, I feel guilty about NOT writing, though I only missed the one day (I wrote Friday night!)
Woke coughing at 4, ready to go back to bed already.
This week is getting busier…
1) Still need to write that synopsis for StTA, send contest entry for PASIC
2) Send stuff to online critique
3) Guest blog on Allie’s blog
4) Fill out info sheet for Bull by the Horns (the new title for Texas Forever)
5) Promo at WRP
6) Newsletter
7) Field trip
8) Boy’s last AP test
9) Write 35 pages on StTA
10) Revise 35 pages on BD
11) Keep up house

...and the Boogie Woogie Flu

So I have pneumonia. At my son's insistence, I went to the minor emergency clinic yesterday and that's what they told me. The cough is horrible - Thursday night I coughed so hard I thought I broke something.
The dh picked up my meds - $70 for cough medicine and antibiotic WITH the insurance! Yow.
The bad (other than the coughing that makes me feel like I broke something) is that I put off Mother's Day shopping. My MIL, my mom and my SIL's birthday gifts all need to be bought. Not to mention food/drink for tomorrow's party. And my contract needs to be mailed. And I need to get to the library for some things on hold.
Then my brother's coming to put in the AC unit we bought LAST May (but remember, he hurt his back. He's doing better but is still too skinny.)
Busy day.
Thanks to Trish, I dreamed about cleaning my house and "culling," as she calls it. But whenever I dream about my house, I dream there's an extra room, and in that extra room there is ALWAYS a Rococo (sp?) sideboard. I've never opened this sideboard. Last night, I knew I wanted to keep it, even though it doesn't go with anything else I have, it's beautiful, but when I went to open it, I woke up.
Sigh.
I also dreamed a river ran under our house. Weird.
I watched SPN and Moonlight last night. Moonlight had the music up so loud I couldn't hear the dialogue. And SPN....I guess the medicine was working pretty good by then because I don't think I understood the ending. If Bella needed the gun, why sell it?
