I need a break. Plain and simple! The stomach flu is making a run through our house. Hopefully Justin and I will avoid it but you have to wonder how many buckets you can empty and not get sick too! La-La was sick Wed -Fri and Care Bear and Jaco started it last night. Then you add a kitty who is very much so in heat and a rat with a tumor and life is a little crazy!
I have never been around a cat in heat and in a way it is amusing but it is work to make sure she isn't let outside. We are planning to get her fixed in February so if she gets pregnant now I am going to be quite frustrated.
Then on to our poor old rat. She is over 2 which is really old for a rat and has had a giant tumor (about the size of a golf ball) between her front two legs. I guess this is a common problem with rats especially ones as old as she is. Well now the tumor has disappeared and has left a small hole on her chest so who knows where it went and what will happen to her now.
The other reason I need a break is my nose. It has been stuffy for at least 6 weeks now and is driving me crazy. The left nostril is blocked 90% of the time and right now both sides are blocked to the point that almost no air is passing through at all because I am pretty sure I have caught a new cold on top of whatever else is going on.
One cool thing has come from my stuffy nose. I was asked weeks ago to sing at a ward conference today. All morning long my nose was 100% stuffed. As I am sitting in the meeting waiting to sing, my nose was 100% stuffed. I said a prayer in my heart that my nose would not affect my singing and as I walked to the podium, I was able to pass air through my nose. Not a lot of air, but enough that I was able to sing clearly and without hindrance from my cold and it was wonderful. Then as soon as I sat back down in my seat my nose was even stuffier than before. The Lord heard my prayer and allowed me to share a message with the congregation through song. It was a pretty cool experience but I wish my nose was still clear right now so I can sleep tonight. I am planning to take myself to the Dr on Tuesday after the kids are done with the stomach flu.
Ok, I am done complaining. But as I have said before, this blog is my journal so you get the good, the bad and the ugly!

wow, neat experience. glad you were able to sing... what did you sing? maybe the flu flee from your house soon!!
Hi Melissa, I just ready your birthday wish to me back in November. Thanks for thinking of me. I remember you when you were just sooo tiny on your mom's lap. You were so dilicate and fragile I wondered if you would ever survive and you have grown into such a great talented person. I think of your wonderful family often. We love it in St. George but miss our Idaho friends very much. Hope you have great success in your weight loss goals. Remember to love yourself and know that our bodies are ever changing and will probably never be happy being skinny teenager size again. Keep trying to be healthy and happy. So good to hear from you.
I'm sorry you're family has been so sick! I hope you're nose clears up soon, could it be alergies since this is your first winter in your new state? Good luck with it all!
Do you have allergies? This sounds very similar to my mom's problem and she is working with an allergist to help.
Ok a nurse's advice
Flu..... santizer, Lysol and prayer!!
Nasak Congestion... sounds like allergies. Try a neti pot first. It's gross but works!! and is a lot cheaper then Dr visits and Zyrtec!
Kitty.... It will end soon, just love her and play, play, play.
Rat.... Well you know what I think of him!!! Sorry :-), and I do feel bad for the kids.
