How I'm Celebrating my Birthday

Well here it is.  The day that only comes around once a year... my birthday!

Sadly there is some kind of a stomach virus making it's rounds in my house.  My daughter got it Saturday night and didn't feel better until Monday afternoon when she handed it off to me.  I still this morning am left feeling less than stellar although happily I haven't had anymore GI distress since Monday night.  My son got that this morning and had to stay home from school.  He is very bummed about that since his class was reading to the kindergarten classes this morning and they were dressing up as pilgrims and Indians.  He was supposed to be an Indian and we worked really hard on his costume last night.

don't judge the mess, cleaning isn't a priority when I feel like harfing

You know I am not feeling good when my co workers bring me in maple bars and chocolate cake for my birthday yesterday and I can't even eat a whole piece of cake...  and I didn't even touch the maple bars.  It still doesn't sound good today either.  I went home from work yesterday early and took a three hour nap.

I am hoping to feel good enough to get out for a run this afternoon at least a short one.   Other than that I don't have any big plans for the day.  Take a nap, clean house and take care of my little man. Later tonight I plan to snuggle up on the couch with my kids and watch Survivor.  Yep pretty crazy around here.

Huge thank you to everyone who participated in my virtual run for my birthday to raise money for the South Dakota Ranchers Relief Fund.  I emailed the winners of the PRO Compression socks and sleeves and Swirlgear shirt.  I had three photo submitted and I will post the photos and the photo winner on Friday.  My kids are my co judges on this one and we are going to take it very serious.

  5. Oh, too bad! Whatever you do, don't run if you don't really feel like it. Sometimes, you just need to rest - especially on your birthday!
