Next Subject

Well, my last post, about a cute and funny thing my daughter said, degenerated into an argument about who owns a women's unmentionables. I won't even theorize who's fault it was, but I thought a fresh topic was in order. (mainly to spare my sister-in-law who I know is lurking and who's face is turning redder with every new comment)
So, my week so far; I'm sick. Again. Not as bad this time, but all the same enormously frustrating. We took a trip to the doctor today, who is running more tests, and might put me on more antibiotics (in addition to not instead of the ones I'm already taking. I'm starting to feel like I should be glowing in the dark or something) depending on what the tests reveal. Ugh.
Other than that though, life is absolutely grand. I just cannot convey how awesome it is to be living where we are. Close (but not too close!) to family, in a great neighborhood, in a great house! My dear old friend from last week came over again yesterday to keep me company, and we had another wonderful visit.
Now, if I could just get all the way well....
The Almighty Liz

So sorry to hear that your ill again. Although I can still "hear" that spark of joy in your post. That's wonderful!

Renae said...

feel better soon! (I hate that dumb letter verification! It keeps making my type things in over and over again.)

timpani76 said...

Liz, e-mail me your new address too and a time we can come visit your new digs!

Bruce said...

are you still getting to play, or at least watch you kids play in the back yard dayly? being out side is good great and the weather has been rocking.

lizS said...

yeah dana, i'm way happy. that's actually the most frustrating thing; i'm enormously happy with my and my family and life in general, and i'm too exhausted to really enjoy it, lol! OI! and yeah, we still totally go outside. i can sit and let the kids run and they love it still. they are getting a little bored, but i'm going to walmart today to get some inexpensive things to do outside. like this really cool thing i saw that's an attachment for your hose that has all kinds of wiggly extensions so it's like a sprinkler on crack for about five bucks. and we are still going to the pool, in fact we're going tonight. the doctor hasn't banned going out in public again (yet) so as long as john takes the brunt of children watching when we go, it's no big deal. and as long as it's not banned, and i don't overdo it, i'm not staying in my house. i had two months of that, and it SUCKED. so. and yeah, timpani, i'll email you that address (and your other request too, lol!) thanks for the well wishes, and i'm feeling better today. the fever finally broke about 1am, so that always helps. keep your fingers crossed everybody, that it stays away this time!!!

timpani76 said...

You have to get better by your birthday! It's important for the fate of the universe as we know it that you have a happy birthday!

lizS said...

you betcha timpani. like i said, the fever broke, so i think as long as i can get some good sleep, i should be okay for my birthday. cause your right; if i don't have a good birthday, life, the universe, and everything as we know will be DESTROYED!

I'm afraid that may be my fault, Liz. Our colds hadn't manifested yet when we visited you, but let me tell you- they sure are here in full force now. Sorry. I hope it wasn't Launa that got you sick- though maybe it's payback for my son's broken toe. ;P

lizS said...

yeah, or it could've been erik who was sick a couple of days before you came over. who the flip knows. or it could have been hanging out with my friend last week, or my grandparents and family, or that short trip to the grocery store.....the list goes on darn it. my immune system isn't worth jack. how is daniel's toe?

Dana Cheryl said...

Liz when is your birthday?! I didn't know there was an upcoming birthday.

Hey I'm planning to maybe come out that way at the end of the summer. I'll keep ya'll updated. We've got a movie night/haircoloring extravaganza to plan. LOL!

lizS said...

my birthday is a week from monday, the thirtieth of june. my birthday soiree is the twenty-eighth, on saturday. if anyone is interested in coming, saving the psychos, perverts and otherwise wierdos, then you are certainly welcome. mearly express your interest, and i will give more details. and heck yeah, the movie/haircoloring party is ON!! my house!! unless someone else wants it at their house. really, i'm pretty flexible.

timpani76 said...

Yeah, Liz, if you want the mess of hair coloring at your house, I'm more than willing to "let" you take that on. Sounds like a great girls night, or day.

Renae said...

Well, on the subject of birthdays, I think your birthday is probably safe from being duplicated. (You did seem genuinely concerned. So selfish!! ;) ) It looks like I will probably go in for induction next Thursday night, so birthday will be Friday most likely. So, sorry, but I won't be at the fiesta. Why do I always seem to miss these? Where was I last year? I don't remember. One year I was in Alabama.

lizS said...

last year i had the party at my house in peoria, and most of john's side of the family didn't come. hmmm, i don't think any of you actually. not that i'm mad, that's just a wierd coincidence. and i could be wrong, it was a whole year ago. and you know, i know i'm selfish about my birthday. i'm not sure why, but i have some theories that i won't go into here. but my friend from highschool that i've recently reunioned with, her husband has my birthday, and there's a lady in my new ward too. but i'm hoping that this won't mess up my friends' focus on ME. and don't sweat missing the dinner thingy, i wasn't counting you in. it IS on your due date and all, lol!!

His toe is fine. He doesn't even notice it anymore. About your birthday...Jeremy just got a job interview in Cartersville, and he's going to do a marathon turn-around trip Monday-Tuesday for his interview. Needless to say, this will be expensive, so I don't know about the party thing. Maybe just I can go, then we won't need to hire a babysitter, and we will only be purchasing one movie ticket...also I have a student ID. Yay! That could get me a discount! Maybe I can make it after all! Woohoo! Lemme talk to Jer and see what he says.

Renae said...

Glad to know I'll be missed. ;)

Bruce said...

Anonymous said...

Dana Cheryl said...

lizS said...

Bruce said...

lizS said...

Ondrea Mariah said...

SORRY YOURE ILL LIZ, THAT STINKS LIKE A WET DOG ON A RAINY DAY! IF YOU DO START TO GLOW IN THE DARK I WANT PICTURES!! FEEL BETTER :)

lizS said...

you'll be the first one to get pics of the amazing glowing liz, ondrea, lol!

Anonymous said...

Liz- Good, cuz I just found out they're making Jeremy work 7 days this week, and with his out o' town trip plus an extra-long workweek, I dunno if asking him to watch the kids alone on a Saturday night would be much appreciated. (Plus I accidentally double-booked, my sister's coming over to help with the packing, and she would come, but probably won't have sitting either.) Oh man! I'm the worst friend ever!

Trisha said...

I'll be there in spirit Liz. I know all about bad birthdays... I'll tell you about my 26th sometime!
I hope that you feel better and that your party is amazing!
