Hey, since you're done wrappin, ya wanna come do mine for me?? I haven't wrapped the first gift yet!!! I told DH that he was gonna have to take the kids to a movie on Saturday so I could do it!!

Nite superwoman!!

I'm not even close to being done wrapping yet. Tomorrow afternoon when the kids are at my mom's making cookies and DH goes in to work....then I'l wrap some more. (and hopefully finish that)

Gotta hit the grocery store after work again today, and I think we're taking the kids around to look at Christmas lights tonight. I want to get to bed earlier than midnight tonight. The lack of sleep is finally catching up to me.

I'm hopefully going to see g-mom tomorrow. My mom says she's eating more and sitting up in a chair and they're talking about starting up her physical therapy again. Maybe our goodbye talk scared her so much (and she saw how much it scared/upset me) that she's not ready to give up yet. We'll see...one day at a time!

OK guys...I'll talk to you later....I'm sure you've seen that the boards are going down tonight some time for a couple days. If I'm not back on -

HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!!!

I'm so glad Gmom is doing better. I'm with you on the lack of sleep. Good luck with the wrapping. Most years I'm still wrapping late into the night on Christmas eve. Hopefully, we can all avoid that this time. How about Christmas eve with the kids all tucked in to bed, quiet conversation with DH and a glass of champagne in front of the fire? Ok, a girl's gotta dream ...

Have a very merry Christmas!

Hi guys!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

What a whirlwind the past few days have been. And on top of all of the excitement I ended up sick. Christmas Eve I had a house full of DH's family and I just wanted to go to bed. DH didn't even realize it and said I played it off really well. It wasn't until the house cleared out and the kids went to bed (and we still had a million things to do) that it really hit me. I was achy all over and just felt like crap.

I woke up the next day feeling a little better - but I have this horribly annoying cough now.

I did run on Saturday. I tried a different route, and ran from my house to my sister's house. I figured it would take me about an hour, but it only took me 39 minutes...and that's with walking for 5 minutes in the middle to relieve a stitch in my side. Once I got to her house I realized I had overshot on how far away I thought it was (I was thinking about 5 miles). I had her drive me home and we clocked it as 3.5 miles. Not bad!

I planned on running again today and to go a different route that I knew was longer...but I knew when I woke up today that there's no way I could run with this cough. So I gotta wait it out. Hopefully it goes away quickly, but it's tough because I can't really take medication or else I get hives BAD. I took 1/2 dose of Robitussin DM today (DH is taking it for his cough) and I broke out almost immediately. Thank God I keep benadryl on hand, and also thank God I only took 1/2 dose. If I took the full dose, probably only IV benadryl & steroids would have helped me. (been there, done that). So anyway, not sure when the next run is coming....but I kinda knew the sickness would kick in since I pushed myself like I always do this time of year. Too much to do, and not enough rest. Plus this year was different that past years because I am running too now. So I just wore down. I'll bounce back.

OK guys...back to work for me tomorrow & Thursday, then off for another 4 days (I can live with this schedule!!). Have a great one, and thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hugs Kim,

I am sending you some get well prayers and pixie dust......... I hope you are able to get some rest and relaxation in before going back to work.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi. Thanks for stopping by my journal. Hope you start feeling better soon. Alot of people here are sick as well. Good job with your running.

 

[kmp1191]

Hope you feel better soon Kimmy!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

So are you feeling any better? (and before you ask, yes i am up at 4 am! ) Im sure ill talk to you tomorrow, well today
we must plan another hang out day soon, by the way

 

[ScoJo15]

Hiya Kim!!

Hope you are feeling better!! Make sure you get yourself well before going back out there to run. Running seems to break down those immune systems. Load up on the vitamin C too (morning smoothies with OJ in them have been doing well for me ). GREAT JOB though with all of the running you've been doing the past couple weeks!! How 'bout that 08 marathon?

Have a great day!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Kim

[Blueeyes101817]

I know you are busy this weekend but just saying hi
Hope you are feeling beetter...now come online and talk to me !!!!

 

[CJK]

Hope you're feeling better now and are in tiptop shape to ring in the new year. You're my idol for running even when not feeling well. I'm such a baby that I barely comb my hair when I'm sick let alone exercise! Happy New Year!!

 

[kmp1191]

Ya know kim....I can't come on here and make saracastic, snarky remarks if you don't post anything!!!!

Hope you're feeling better!
Have a great, fun, safe new year!!!

Hey all!! Happy (almost) New Year!! It's been a rough couple of days. Still not feeling well, but pushing through. I had a party at my house today for some of DH's family (40+ of them!!). It's always a fun one, so I don't mind it normally. But when I'm not feeling well - it wasn't as much fun. But it's over now, and now I can hopefully rest tomorrow and start to feel better. The doctor gave me some cough meds, but they knock me out, so I can only take them before bed. I really hope I can get back out there running this week. I've actually missed it this week!!!


Thanks so much, guys for stopping by. I love it when I'm away for a little bit and come back to find people have thought about me.

Oh, and Scott - no, I don't think the marathon in '08 is for me. BUT I really really really want to do the 1/2. So WISH me luck! I gotta get myself out there and going!!

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad you're on the mend, Kim! Sick is NOT a fun way to spend the Holidays!

Hope you have a Happy, Healthy New Year!

 

[ScoJo15]

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!! LOL

What? No marathon in '08?? just kidding....I think you are VERY capable of completing the half and will be encouraging you along the way!! Who knows...maybe I'll even see you down there next year

I hope you get to feeling better!

Have a safe and wonderful celebration tonight...great job on all of the running you've been doing and great job with what you've accomplished this year, you should be VERY proud of yourself...I know all of us are
