Yesterday, I was sick.
I think I like Chelsey’s the best! Knock a girl when she’s down, why dontcha? ;) Actually, it WAS hilarious ….I’m all for laughing at irony..and myself!
Let’s just say that I didn’t get a whole lot done yesterday. And I’m perfectly ok with that.
Instead of writing today’s post during the kid’s naptime – I joined them in on their fun. Two hours of sleep helped the headache and nausea. My inbox, not so much.
Instead of teaching Step and Aqua Power – I had to cancel the classes. :( What will my adoring students do without me?!?! Don’t answer that! I kind of need them to like me!
Instead of vacuuming up the 58 pine needles that fell – I layed on the couch and admired the tree. THEN, when I couldn’t stand it anymore, I vacuumed.
Instead of eating nutritious meals that would provide me with energy and vitamins and minerals and stuff – I ate air …and tiny bits of the Dark Chocolate M&M’s that Danica sent me. I feel pretty good today, so I’m thinking there was some science to all that.
Instead of spending my time productively and responding back to your (VERY) sweet comments yesterday – I pinned this giant patio ball:
And these pretty braids:
And this owl made out of coffee:
I also found out that these were the searches that led people to my blog yesterday.
BY FAR, my weirdest search day! I can’t decide which is best – the “old people drinking” or the “crazy funny sound” one.
Instead of brushing Clara’s hair – I let it look like this all afternoon and night.
I can’t say enough about the merits of keeping your kids out of preschool. You can let them look like vagabonds and it’s totally ok. In fact, sometimes EXPECTED!
Instead of cooking dinner – we had Sonic, complete with grilled cheeses and tator tots. Probably the 2nd time my kids have ever had fast-food. And I’m perfectly ok with that. We ate it straight out of the bag. And we laughed and talked and played with the toys that they gave us.
Instead of wasting time on the internet – I went to bed at 9pm. After spooning with Travis for a good 30 minutes.
Like I said, I didn’t get a whole lot done yesterday. Just all of the important stuff.
QUESTION: What are your “go-to’s” for comfort when you’re sick? For me, I need my glasses, a robe, and Love Actually.
splendid…lindsay
Those braids are awesome. I wish I was capable of braiding. lol.
Lindsay- I am a lame friend. I didn’t even know you were sick. Poor thing. I hope you’re feeling better. Sorry, yes though, kind of funny that you wrote about throwing up and then got sick. Isn’t that how life works?
Clara should rock that harido more often. :)
Hugs friend! So sorry I’ve been a lamo lately about commenting. I need to get back on it. Have a great weekend!
pft…I know where you are. And I know how busy you are!
I love vagabond children! Especially if they look like Clara!!!! So sweet. :)
Thanks, Abigail!! I didn’t know you were a reader! YAY!
Sounds like the perfect sick day to me! Have you ever actually met a Lindsay who spelled her name Lyndsay like in your search. I still have yet to meet one.
hmmm…I’m not sure. I DO know that spelling it Lindsay is the best. In fact, I think it’s a law or something.
Awwwww…hope you’re feeling better. Being sick sucks. :(
Agreed! Does suck! I feel much better now! Lots of sleep and water!
Sounds like a perfect day to me! All of the important things were done. Hope you’re feeling better. We’ve had a sick house this week too! Hopefully we’re on the mends now.
P.S. PB and Clara are dating in my mind. He doesn’t know it yet, but I’ve found him a wife!
lol..they’re destined for each other! She’ll be his cougar! ;)
omg her hair!! is awesome. Such a cutie.
Hope you feel better, linda!
lol..is it ok that I laughed at “Linda”? That’s a good name. ;)
Where’d my comment go, lol?? I hope I’m not going to spam again! :)
Funny… this one made it, but the one I though I sent didn’t… maybe I’m losing my mind! I was saying I’m sorry you’re not feeling well and that I had a Sonic milkshake the other day that was pure divinity! :)
Sorry you’re not feeling well, friend! I had a Sonic milkshake the other day that was pure divinity. :)
laughed at all THREE of your comments, Christin! :) What flavor of milkshake? Want to try their Pumpkin Pie!
I feel ya! I had a sore throat and a fever yesterday. But thankfully my amazing immune system (and Fatz’s Tuscan Tomato soup) fought it off and I’m feeling great today. *Btdubs your blog is in my blog as a horcrux (7 things I’m super into right now. :)
Alex, what’s your blog URL?
that coffee owl was my desktop wallpaper for months!! i just changed it yesterday!
did you have it pinned? maybe i got it off of your boards? can’t remember.
Getting Clara’s hair to look that awesome definitely qualifies as a productive day :-)
Also, the dance-off continues. Consider it brung/broughten.
oh no you didn’t! ;)
Hope you’re continuously on the upswing!
When I’m sick, I want a warm blanket, lots of tea, I Love Lucy reruns, and saltine crackers with copious amounts of ginger ale and strawberry flavored dole popsicles. I’m very needy when I’m sick. ;)
lol…I’m needy too!
And I LOVE Lucy! Vintage classic!
sitting on my butt all day is all i want when i’m sick. hope you are 100% back to normal soon!!
That’s basically all I did yesterday! It was lovely! And thanks!
i wanted to tell you yesterday but i couldn’t because i got too busy at work but i wanted to tell you that i love you haha
today i want to tell you that i love you and i think you’re the greatest old drunk i’ve ever known.
lol…how do people get here by searching for that?!?! I’m always amused.
I want to snuggle up with Clara under that quilt and let my hair get all ratty, too. That sounds comforting. And I eat sugar when I’m feeling yucky, too. It has healing powers. Hope you are feeling better today!
sugar = God’s gift. Having some now actually, in the form of a Peanut Butter Rolo Cookie!
hey, gotta do watcha gotta do! I can’t believe bonnie got you sick. BONNIE!! haha, just kidding. Hope its moving east and not west. Feel better soon. I think more chocolate and sugar helps.
;)
It is SO Bonnie’s fault!!
I am currently trying to convince myself that drinking copious amounts of coffee is going to get rid of my cold. Maybe it’ll work!
Yes!! I think coffee is supposed to be a natural remedy. ;) But you have to drink like 4 cups. That’s the rule.
I needed this post. Sometimes I forget to enjoy my life because I am so wrapped up in what I should be doing and really what I should be doing is enjoying my life. hmmm…
It was definitely the chocolate : ) Hope you continue to feel better!
All thanks to you!!
sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well yesterday! a good bowl of chicken noodle and saltines, my favorite blanket while curled up on the couch watching Gossip Girl, along with major pampering from my husband usually helps me. ;)
Haven’t gotten into GG..is it really good?
I love the end of the post…didn’t get a lot done but the important stuff. Glad you’re feeling better. But not glad you passed it on to me. I’m feeling very blah this morning.
oh no! Hope the afternoon was better than this morning!!
Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants – obviously that was the miracle cure for you. :) I hate being sick, but I always eat miso soup, lots of water & hot tea, and pound vitamin C. And I definitely stay in my PJs all day! I LOVE those braids – I’m going repin them now and then try to recreate them at some point over vacation at the end of the month!
So glad you are feeling better now!
I wish I could do cute things to my hair…I just don’t have that gene.
Chelsey can always be counted on for “best comment” usually. I mean, you two tore up my yesterday’s post together.
lol…did you ever answer the part about him being your boyfriend? I’ll have to go look.
