Recovering, Slowly

We have been sick, sick and then sick some more over here. We are in the running for the the official "House of Sickness" award from our local hospital. The worst part about it is that there is nothing that helps, no magic antiviral bullet that we can take. It's just trying to take it easy and not relapse, which is what happened to me the day after Christmas.

Oh yeah, my husband was a bit extravagant and got me a gift certificat to here. Whaddaya think, should I get a body massage, a mani and pedi, or a facial? I'm having a hard time choosing.

Get a massage and that's an order....hehehe..should make you feel better overall! I was the only
one in the house who got the sickness full force. Lucky me, but i am glad the kids weren't too bad. This virus lingers and lingers to no end. Now I only have a nasty cough much better than an aching body and all that mess

I'm thinking a snot-ectomy or perhaps a good anti viral scrubbing.

Hope you are feeling better soon babe. Being sick sucks.

It complete sucks to be sick. I'm so sorry!!! Especially at the holidays :( I hope you guys are feeling much better soon. I would get a massage. That would make me feel wonderful. My son got me a gift certificate for a massage so I plan on using it soon!

Happy New Year Gina!!

In our house, everyone finally got healthy (after a month of sickies) and then the snotty nieces and nephew came and 3 out of 4 of us are sick again! :( I hope you all feel better soon!!!

And, I vote for a massage. That's always my spa pampering choice. Enjoy!!!

Hope you all get better real soon! Glen Ivy is the BEST! My husband & I used to ditch work just to lay around the pool, float in the champagne pool & go in the mud bath - all that's free with the price of admission. But if you have a GC get a hot stone massage, you won't regret it!

Being sick sucks.

Get a full body massage. Then have someone carry you out and drive you home.

Ditto what Nance said, that's the ticket!

I hope you all start feeling better soon. There is something pretty nasty going around. Great gift from your hubs. I received something similar for Christmas. I can't wait to indulge!

Sorry you've all been so sick! I guess a lot of folks came down with the crap. Bummer.

I think I would go for the body massage ;)

Love your new look. LOVE IT!

Hope you feel better...don't send your germies here, ok?

And...get a massage. If you have enough for a body wrap/scrub, I HIGHLY recomend it. I had one once where they wrapped me up like a baked potato after a body scrub. Heaven. Pure heaven.

Massage all the way!

I hope y'all feel better soon. We've been sick here too.

Happy New Year.

So sorry you are sick, dear.

Great gift certificate, however. Get the works if it stretches that far.

Oh no! I hope you are all well soon. Sickness during the holidays is the worst. I absolutely loved massages when I used to get them every week. I would go for it. It's amazing to realize just how tensed up we are when we're going through the day. Either/or, enjoy it. You deserve it.

MASSSAGE! Though facials are marvelous as well. I liken pedis to Chinese torture....

P.S. FEEL BETTA!

May the curse be lifted from the House of Sickness.

I'd definitely go for the massage. You can get a mani/pedi anytime for cheap, facials involve a lot of rubbing on and off of mysterious creams that all feel and smell the same, but a massage...feels oh-so-goooood.

Definitely the massage.

Sorry you're sick. Us too. It must be making the rounds.

How odd, Gina. I just saw the above in my email (I get copies of comments sometimes when I remember to ask for them).

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
