Sick...but still truckin'

So why is it that as soon as I go back to work I get a cold??? Probably because I have a tendency to keep pushing myself past the point of exhaustion.  I Never know when to say WHEN!

I wasn't feeling that great on Thursday, but I had to work an extra- long day due to Open House.  I finally got my classroom unpacked and nearly-ready for the students who will start next Tuesday.  Took a short break in the afternoon to have lunch and ice cream with my friend Farrah....check out the size of these ice cream cones!

So, most normal people would go straight home and relax after working 11 hours and not feeling good, right?  Well I am not normal, I guess, because I met E and my friends Lanee, Roger and Sonja at Wildwood Pizza for dinner after work.  We hung out for awhile but I knew I needed to get home to get my house cleaned for E's cousin's from Chicago who were going to be arriving in the middle of the night.  So clean, clean, clean E and I did until about 11:30 pm....then off to bed for a few short hours.  Dana, Kevin and Jasmine arrived at 3:30am and I woke to greet them and give them a short tour of our home before we all went to bed, truly exhausted.

Woke up Friday feeling BAD.  Real bad!  Worked my normal day (dragging some major butt and surviving solely on Dayquil) and then went to dinner with E and his family......we went and had Vietnamese at Mai Village in St Paul.  I have talked about this place before....excellent food and service!  Later that night we all went to Maplewood Mall.  Got a cute new pair of sunglasses and hung out....here is a picture of the carosel that Jasmine and Boe took a ride on.....

We left when the mall closed, hung out at E's parents house for awhile  and then watched a movie when we got home.  Went to bed at 2am....no problem!!

You're such a trouper plagued with a ridiculously busy & exciting life. For just half of the excitement in your life, I'd take half the burden of your cold.
