sick, Sick, SICK

Please leave me comments or emails telling me about your Christmas/New Year Holidays.

Please. I beg you.

I am presently sick. This is certainly not an unusual thing for me this time of year but also not something that I anticipate.

Just after I'd left a rather whiny Facebook status about how I don't like to "party all the time, party all the time, party all the time" I am on the road to missing THREE, count them, THREE parties.

Well. One wasn't a party, but a gathering of family to mourn the loss of a cousin who passed away tragically last week of a massive heart attack. So sad. So very very sad.

I also missed Son-in-law's surprise 30th birthday party. The surprise wasn't that he was turning 30, he knew that. But, Daughter planned a surprise party for him, and I do believe that he was surprised. I did not go, but stayed at home with the equally sick Kado. We cried a bit together, he and I.

Now today. Jonge turned four on New Year's Day. We plan to celebrate with a Spider Man themed party tonight. Thankfully, THGGM is extremely capable of putting on a party and doesn't consider domestic tasks to be beneath him (i just realized that, sometimes, i do). I'm going to see, if for nothing else but the sake of the four year old, if it will be possible to paint my face with 'artificial health' and attend the party anyway.

Oh, and just because life tends to work this way for me (insert a mournful sigh here) THGGM is ON VACATION this week.

Seriously. I AM a very hopeful person.

I hope I feel better tomorrow.

Now. Go ahead. Tell me about YOU!

Hey! Don't you know you're supposed to be getting *better*, not worse? :) Do get better soon, Judy, ok? And I would tell you about my Christmas and New Year, but I've already blabbed about both incessantly in my blog and at Facebook. So I will spare you the repeats, but I will say, thanks for always being in my amen corner at my blog! Hugs, Debra

I am sorry you are sick.What a way to start the New Year. Hey, things can only get better, right?
I live in Hamilton Michigan-always like reading fellow bloggers from Mi. We had a very scaled down Christmas-only 1 of 4 families was able to be here this year. It was actually ok. Lots of phone calls and skype. Love skype-with kids living as far away as Quebec.
Keep writing-love your blog.

My d-i-l and Cooper are sicker than dogs this weekend with fevers and flu-like symptoms. If I have any of them with me tomorrow, it'll be Dylan alone. Hope you get to feeling well soon, Judy.

Sorry you are starting the new year sick, and that you are missing parties. I hope you make it to your 4 yr olds birthday party....never want to miss a Spider Man party. One of my grandaughters turns 2 today, but the party (or at least one of them) will be next week since they were traveling today. I think they had one last night at grandparents in Albuquerque. Christmas was very good, but I'm sorta ready to get back to the humdrum of everyday life. Get better quick!

Oh no!! I'm so sorry you're sick! Please, do feel better soon, because I love reading about how you make stuff and we should make one, too...

My mom is visiting from S. Korea for the first time in we-can't-remember-when, it has made the holidays extra special. My husband rode on a float in the Rose Parade in Pasadena. We've been way too busy, all while being sick with a cold that stole my voice. Ack. *cough, cough*

Oh, I meant "my mom is visiting for Christmas in we-can't-remember-when" she was just here in July, but for Christmas makes it extra special.

Sorry you're not well. I have a few pretty recent posts if you haven't read them yet, and Cuppa is forever posting pictures.

Oh! Thanks so much for your nice comments!

I LOVE comments (sigh...).
