Germies, Cooties and Boogies

Yup, I'm sick AGAIN... grrrrr. I finally get to feeling better, after almost two weeks of being sick, so I went out in service yesterday. It was cold and windy; however, in my defense, I did layer my clothes to be very very warm and wore boots, scarf, the works....

And yet here I am looking like a Nyquil commercial - red runny nose, cough, congestion, YUCKY AWFUL FEELING SO YOU CANT REST GERMIES....

Anyhoo, I thought since we've been eating so much better, I wouldn't get sick so often, ... but my system (and my thin blood) are no match for the super bugs in NC (personally I think these germs are on steroids to be completely honest). Talking about eating better, I'm so proud of Ciara! She's loving some of the new organic foods we've been eating, like this yummy bowl of cereal she had this morning!
It looks yummy enough to have another bowl! No, seriously, she had like two bowls! MMMMMMM Yummies in my tummies!

Anyway, that's why I haven't blogged in a while,. . . having a hard time breathing, much less typing!

Before I got sick we went to a place in Asheville to watch a "discounted movie" called the Asheville Pizza & Brewery Company. Pretty cool place. Movie's are $3.00, and you can order pizza, snacks and they have an open bar.... the only thing I worry about is the aliens that have invaded their building:
No one seemed to notice their invasion; however, I send these picture for proper documentation of this historical event. Here are a few more pics, it truly was a unique experience!
Oh my goodness this picture makes me laugh so hard! Meet Austin, he's one of the pre-teens from our kingdom hall. He's having issues with his beer belly, but we have been trying to slowly bring this to his attention. Too bad he always makes a joke of it! (Then again he looks a little afraid, maybe he doesn't own a mirror at home?!?)
We truly appreciate him in our hall, along with their family. They have been quite an inspiration to our family.... they may not have much, but they always have something to share. And just having someone to kick back with and laugh with you is always a good thing!

After a long day going to work, picking up my glasses, going to the movies and tackling the Asheville traffic I'm no longer used to, it was a relief to get home.... only to be sick for two weeks after that (ick), . . . but fun nonetheless.
So Kim and I packed the kids up in the Jeep and off we went (btw - I know, my Jeep is filthy, but I swear I had gone thru the carwash the day before -- the joy of road salt!)

Ok, time for a hot bath, nyquil, so I can rest medicine!

Miss you all!
