Sicky Sick

I told Jeri we needed to see more pictures, to which she claimed I have not been reading her blog because she posts hundreds... so I checked and realized it has been a while.

Anton got sick last week, he was sick for like 5 days, all through General Conference and everything. I feel badly because I didn't think it was that bad for him... our thermometer broke and I didn't know all of his symptoms.
Then I woke up Thursday with a fever.  I had a dentist appointment and I still went.  Also, Anton was gone on a hunting trip so I had to ride my bike all over town for school and appointments. (I'm terribly out of shape!) So, the dentist shot me up several times AND gave me laughing gas.
By the time I got home, all the dental drugs combined with my fever and the hormones indicating the coming of a special time of month made me really weird.  The odd sensation of drool dripping down my right side and having no control over my facial expressions only contributed to how weird I was, and I started posting random things on people's Facebook walls.  Like how I wanted to cry for Shantal's baby duck, and something about Neemeepoo to Kallan...
Anyway, I was exhausted.  Every part of my body ached--even my eyes, it hurt to look at anything.  I felt shaky and weak and I didn't really eat because by the time I got home all I think about was sleep...and I really should have paid more attention to Anton when it happened to him.  Luckily for me, he's nicer and he took care of me when he got home from his hunting trip Friday night.

He didn't get anything on his trip, though.  That place is supposedly an area where trophy-sized bucks roam and it's only open for a week, but there were none.  He saw a lot of does but he only had a buck tag.  He was so disappointed.  : (  Maybe next time.

I've decided I want a sewing machine for Christmas.  Or my birthday.  I'm going to sew.  Since the school is giving me 76 credits for free to do whatever I want with, I am going to take sewing, cooking, piano lessons, and some outdoor recreation classes.  I think I'm more excited for these than I am to actually get my degree.

We got moved from teaching the Sunbeams to the CTR 7 class.  I'm going to miss the little munchkins.  Anton said he will miss them too! : )

It's a good thing Anton and I talk about child-rearing practices (mostly I make him talk about it) because we were definitely not on the same page three years ago.  So I come home and talk with him about what I learn in my classes.  Usually he listens to me.  We still differ on some issues, though.  I'll convert him to my ways soon enough.

My hair faded back to it's natural color.  Good thing, because I don't really feel like dyeing it all the time.
All the vegetables in our garden are gone... : (  We didn't get to harvest the watermelons.  We planted them too late and it's already started freezing.
I miss playing night games.  And camping.
I love vinegar.
