Monday Musings

• Well, I thought I was better after resting yesterday.  Then I couldn't sleep last night, so today I'm tired and my throat is trying to hurt.  Urrghh!!!  Have I mentioned how I hate being sick????  I hope tomorrow will be a major turning point.  I will keep this short and sweet so I can rest.  I haven't done much today except read and enjoy snuggling with the kids on a rainy day.  I'm not even cooking dinner because we luckily have stew and a few other things in the fridge that will work. 
• Has anyone else been Christmas shopping or am I the only one who starts planning in like....July?  Toys'RUs has some good sales this week, I hope to get down there on Friday and do a bit more shopping.  I am practically done with the kids, halfway done with everyone else.  I prefer to do it early and enjoy the church services and magic of the season.  I also like to really think about what to get people, instead of feeling rushed.  I also have Kohl's cash to use and Rewards $, so I'm really hoping I can get my mom to babysit. 
• Soccer, is going.  My kid is a ball hog.  I have no idea what to do.  We got her getting the ball, and now she takes it from everyone.  This includes her own team.  The coach doesn't seem bothered by it, but Dustin and I are a bit embarrassed.  I've talked to her and talked to her.  There are only two actual games left I think, so hopefully we'll get through it. 
• I really need to be pricing my consignment items, and I don't feel like it.  I hope that changes!  I could use the money for Christmas or something else I've got up my sleeve.  We'll see. 
• I made my first potato salad yesterday to take to my grandma's.  We gotta eat even when sick, right?  It turned out great!  If you're from the south, it's essential to make a good potato salad.  I'll have to share the recipe on here soon.  I was rather proud of myself!

I think that's all for now.  I'm going to rest.  I will post more later.
