Feeling better...

This week has been a bit trying to say the least.

Tuesday morning I started feeling a bit crummy with a scratchy throat.  But after I few shots of Zicam, that all went away.  The stuffy head and nose decided to hang out for a few days. Wonderful.  I haven't had a cold in so long that I forgot how awful they make you feel.  Wednesday absolutely nothing got accomplished around here.  Thanks goodness the laundry had been all caught up.  Dinner that night was just whatever one could find and throw together quickly.  One dose of Nyquil so I could sleep and Thursday was a better day.  Not that anything amazing got accomplished but I felt better.  Which was saying alot compared to the two days before.

My little helpers were wonderful to me while I wasn't feeling tip top.  They always want to help.  All of these veggies were gathered from the garden yesterday afternoon by them.

 The garden didn't do as well as last year.  We are going to have to 'rethink' a few things mainly because our neighbors have this tree that is starting to shade out our garden space.  

Is it bad to wish a tree would go away because it's ruining your garden?

I'm thinking not.

Sometime yesterday it hit me that I had not made any pumpkin hats for the little ones in the family for this year.  It's their 1st Fall you know.  How awful to go through life knowing that you were not properly accessorized for the season.  So I started on that yesterday evening and one is nearly finished already.  It's so darn cute and easy.  Itty Bitty Hats.  The best book for cute hats for little ones.

 I had made progress on my sweater before the 'lets feel like crap' thing started.  I finally made it to the point of holding the stitches for the sleeves and then connecting to finish the body.  I can't to finish it.  And the weather seems like it will finally start cooperating with sweater wearing by getting into the Fall temps next week with highs only getting into the 60's.  I'm excited.

Bring it on Mother Nature!  I'm ready!!!

 I'm trying not to overdue things today while feeling better.  I must pace myself so that I don't get worn out before I go the quilters preview party I was invited too.  I'm so excited that my friend Stephanie (who works at The Quilt Crossing, that is on Glenn's mail route) was kind enough to include me in on this.  It's my first time at an invitation only event.  Hopefully I won't embarrass myself too badly.  :)

My little invitation is patiently waiting for my to grab it and head out the door this evening.

Love that little ornament that was made to go with the invitations.

Must be off to the store.

I have been informed that we are at the danger level of running out of milk.

And that is not good around this house.  People wouldn't know how to function without it.

Here's to a much better weekend ahead!

I need it.
