A day of rest....

Today, my wonderful friend Jenn, came and got the kids to have a play date at her house with Jacob and Anna. She knows I haven't been feeling well and wanted me to have a quiet day. Gordon is at work, so I had the whole day to myself. I really appreciate Jenn for giving me this day to rest, but I will admit; other than sitting down for an hour and a half to watch last night's Survivor and CSI episodes, I haven't rested. I slept a lot yesterday and today I am tired, but not enough to lay down and rest.
Instead I have done 4 loads of laundry, a huge pile of dishes from last nights dinner, ran the dishwasher, fed animals, taken a walk to get the mail, talked to Holly on the phone for 57 minutes and 43 seconds (we almost made an hour, Holly. We haven't done that in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!), talked to Tiffani for a few minutes, made our March calendar, and am now working on decorating a gourd for a friend who wants to give it to her parents for their anniversary. Considering I have been a bump on the couch the last few days, I have accomplished a lot!!! Whew, maybe I CAN lay down and rest until the kiddos get home.
Now if I could only stop sneezing, get rid of my headache, and get my nose to stop running....
