Well my voice finally gave out completely yesterday. When we got home from church I was down to a whisper. Anything else caused coughing and pain in my chest. I had dh call in for my sub and I made the decision last night to rest the voice today.
Slept till 7:00, took ds to school, took his physical form to the coach so he could start track today. Came home and straightend up the house. The carpenters are working on the new garage. The cable company called to see if our cable was still out (and being Thurs. I was anxious to get it back). When we got home yesterday we had no cable and the contractor had dug a ditch for conduit and I was afraid he'd cut the cable. I was going to lay into the cable company if he had, because he dug nowhere near any of the lines marked by the cable, electric or water guys who'd been out last week. Anyway, it was still out, but they have since come out and we are back on. I've been called 3 times by telemarketers and I've decided not to answer any more calls since I can barely speak anyway. The phone has rung 2 other times and no one has left a message. Is that what it's like all day for you stay at home moms? That's annoying.
Thought I'd catch up here. Then I think I'll go ahead and defrost the freezer which is almost bare and then go get groceries. I love being off and not being sick enough to be in bed. I feel fine with the cough syrup, I just can't speak. I'm going to make some new throw pillows for the living room, write some cards out for a few people at church, and I'd like to strip a chair I want to refinish in the garage. I'm loving today. I so envy you moms who stay home. I love my job, but it has been stressful this year, and being a full time home manager sounds so good right now.
