The Looooong Weekend

Not a long weekend as in, I've got an extra day off...

but as in, I have a cold and threw up all night Friday into the wee hours Saturday morning and felt like crap all day Saturday.

Yeah...

Friday the 13th was not nice to me.

I'm not really superstitous about that type of thing, but it is coincidental.

I'm pretty sure I have those lovely kiddos in the nursery to thank for the cold (maybe the stomach bug) and my niece to thank for the stomach bug (she had it a couple days before I got it). Or my body was was just so out of it that it just wanted the junk all out asap. And I guess in it's thinking, asap means having me throw up twice an hour from 9:30 Friday night to 4:30 Saturday morning.

Longest night of my life. I wanted to sleep so bad but my body kept waking me up to empty itself. (I sure am being gross in this post aren't I) I was practically falling asleep in the bathroom. Maybe it would've been easier to stay in there now that I think about it.

Saturday I obviously didn't go to work but stayed home drinking ginger ale and eating crackers and toast and sleeping on and off. My Dad wasn't feeling good either so us sickies stayed home while my Mom and bro went to a hockey game. We watched this show about the Holocaust and I was instantly thankful that at least I get to get better from my illness in a comfy setting. All of those Jews who were in the concentration camps who got sick most likely died because of poor conditions and the Nazis working them constantly.

Okay, anyway....

Lots of my Mom's flowers have bloomed already. :) 

Here's some shots I took:

So this post started off as disgusting but ended beautiful :)

Hope y'all have a great week! Enjoy the weather...as for us in the Wallace house, we will start thinking about what to put in our garden. so excited!

Song of the day: "Stronger" by Hillsong

You have saved me.

It is written,

Christ is risen!

Jesus, You are Lord of all!"

-Hillsong

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. My Uncle Vince is in the hospital from a mild stroke. much of the left side is paralyzed, though he has feeling. Doctors anticipate him making a full recovery, but now its up to how long physical therapy will take.

2. Adrienne Twombly is not doing well at all health-wise. Doctors have done all they can, but can't find any more treatments for her. This family covets your prayers and is hoping for a miracle that she would get better and not leave her husband and 3 children.

Hey! Happy Bir--

Oh, sorry, it's just that I've said "Happy Birthday" so much over the past 3 days that sometimes I say it to people it doesn't even apply to. haha

These past few days have been, for lack of a better word, INSANE!

  

 

My niece, Elise, turned 1 on the 29th of March :) We had a small family party for her on her actual birthday and then a big blowout on Saturday with all of her friends she doesn't even know she's friends with yet. :p Of course, nowadays we all know that you're not really friends with someone until you're friends on facebook ;)

 

On Friday night, my family celebrated my 2nd cousin, Madeline's birthday. She turned 3! She seriously needs to stop eating Miracle Gro! She was absolutely adorable when opening her gifts! She was excited about everything she got, even the clothes. You can tell, she's a girl if she's excited about clothes. When her brothers get clothes on their birthday, they just toss them aside. hehe

And to end the weekend, my brother-in-law and his cousins particpated in the Anything That Floats competition. It's part of this kayaking derby my town holds every year.

And they actually won 1st place! what an epic end to a crazy fun weekend :)

Oh, and Happy April Fool's Day! I never do anything for this, but it's funny seeing other people do stuff. I had a friend who did the popular fake engagement with a picture of her hand with an "engagement" ring on it. Can't believe people actually fell for it! haha
