Sickies + Days 23 & 24

"Concealing an illness is like keeping a beach ball under water." -Karen Duffy

Yep. You guess it. We have sick people in our house again. What is up with us the last 6 months? We've all gotten sick multiple times! Fortunately, the illness has only struck one of us this time (poor Andy-Pants) + me with a minor sore throat, and it involves no throw up. Hurray! Yes, that really is something to celebrate...

Day 23 - Something that you miss

Sometimes I miss my childhood. Having no one to answer to but myself. Having no one to take care of but myself. Knowing that if I messed up on something, it wouldn't have dire consequences for anyone but myself. Sometimes, being an adult and a parent sucks because everything matters so much MORE than it ever did when I was a child or when I was single. I have a husband to answer to. I have children that depend on me. Don't get me wrong; I LOVE my life. I wouldn't trade it for anything... it's just that I go to bed exhausted every night, but half the time I can't sleep because of worry.

Day 24 - Five words/phrases that make you laugh

1. Snogging. It just makes me giggle.
2. "Don't eat that - the cat licked it!" Oh, Uncle Bill. You used to make me laugh so much...

Oh man, I'm having a hard time coming up with these...

3. Jason once said, "Can you breathe out of your mouth better today?" He meant to say "nose". I was like, "Uhh... yes?"
4. Hubba Hubba!!!

5. "BAAZZOOOOOOOOMSSSSS!!" Thank you, Steve Urkel, for providing lots of laughter with that one!


Secret: I have dry eye, so my eyes water a lot (I know, it sounds like it shouldn't work that way, but it does). Whenever I yawn, sneeze, or laugh, my eyes water. I'm often afraid that when that happens, people are going to think I'm crying. I'm NOT! Although I do cry more now as an adult than I ever did when I was growing up...
