Missing?!

I catch crap all the time about posting on my blog too much or posting pictures right away. Truth is, people love it. They can't deny it any longer. So, where are all the pictures? the posts? Last weekend, my friend Lauren turned 32. There was a little gathering Friday night to help her kick off the birthday weekend. Well, instead of taking myself and the camera to the party I sat my happy butt on the couch with a low grade fever and slept for 12 hours. I received several comments about missing me and most importantly my camera. See?!
Saturday I awoke with the fever still hanging around and took a morning nap. It was then I decided sleeping was not going to cure my ails. I showered, took myself to the grocery store and got items to make some homemade baked potato soup. Sunday I was pretty a-okay. Monday morning hit and with it some more germs. That day we sent home two children with 102 fevers adding to the already five other children that were out. I was trying to catch some chills during the day so it was decided I would take myself to kick boxing that night to kick the germs away. Not so sure it worked, but Tuesday I took myself back to the gym to attempt running. Again, still coughing but thankfully no chills. Surely sweating was the way to rid my body of the nasty germs floating around my classroom. Wednesday, my voice was trying to disappear. Funny because in 32 years I have only lost my voice once. Wednesday night I went to yoga and really focused on my moves when she said it helps the immune system. As I came out of yoga, it was spitting snow. Awoke today, Thursday, to school cancelled. That's right. It looked like sugar had been sprinkled over my yard but school was not in session; not even for teachers. Instead, we all get to gather on Saturday for school until 1:00. My thoughts on this are: if we can't handle driving in only a dusting to an ince of snow then maybe we shouldn't live in the mountains right?! Of course, if we hadn't already missed too much school I would probably be feeling differently.
However, here is how it's going down. I am working on being Balanced Bethany remember? So, I enjoyed my "Saturday" by sleeping in which is what I think my body needs. Sipping coffee in my pajamas was enjoyed before having lunch and a Goodwill trip before heading home. Now it's off to read and hopefully send these chills and cough germs packing for good! I would like to feel 100% again soon!

This was a lot of words, so I didn't read it all. Do you still have your camera?
