Do you ever....

get scared of the unknown? Two classes starting tomorrow is terrifying me. I dont know why. I guess its because I have always had atleast ONE person I knew in the class from previous classes. This time because I took that break EVERYONE is new to me. I dont know anyone at all. My stomach is in knots. Anyways, I think part of it is I have been sick since yesterday. Yeah it finally hit the parents. GRRR! Hubby got it like Thursday maybe but mine hit full force friday night and hasnt let go. I was watching hubby play some stupid war game and next thing I know I was running for the bathroom. So I didnt toss the cookies but I did get a pan and leave it by my bed. I fell asleep and woke up sick as a dog. I stayed in bed ALL DAY yesterday. Good thing hubby loves me so much and bought me a book friday huh? Well I finished the whole book yesterday. It was actually quite good. It was a suspense one.... It was a good read at over 450 pages. HAHA yes like I said I really barely left the bed. running to the bathroom. and watching a few shows like previous Project Runways and Portions of other shows along with a cat nap here and there and I finished the book around midnight.

Anyways I am back to my bed as my stomach is thinking of revolting again. I guess I can read my assigned chapters for this week eh? (seeing as between the two classes thats 6 chapters. haha.)

Wow...

I had a pathetic 2 wks off. I do not feel ready to go back to school. Can I take one more week??? Then maybe all the kids stomach buggies will have gone and I will get a break??

Anyways I did have fun yesterday. I bought the tinkerbell wall paper border and wall stickers and started my two younger daughters room. Its looking cute. Now they want tinkerbell bedding though.... hmmm I am using this....


Then I am going for this look kinda minus the purple walls as we cannot paint....


I also bought 4 pieces of fabric one different one for each monkey to make liners for their sock baskets. There were two blue gingham and two pink gingham but now we will have 1 strawberry shortcake, one tweety bird one, one cute cartoonie puppy one, and a monkey on a heart one.

Anyways... I did have fun shopping. I got lots of new glasses for me and hubby and a few plastic water bottles for the kids and soccer. Plus storage bins because of the GROSS ants that love to invade twice a year.

I really dont know if I can make it through this.
