Coughing, Oh & Coughing

Okay so last night pretty much sucked complete ass because I was woken up about every 20 minutes coughing. My back is actually sore as is the rest of my body from clinching it while coughing all night what a total pain in the ass. I can't wait for this cold to go away.

Hopefully it will only be a few more days or less and this thing will start tapering off and not be so miserable.it's not really that I am in that much pain it's more that I am weak and tired all of the time plus the sore throat and coughing is very annoying.

Dads

This morning we got up early and farted around for a little while and then headed over to dads house to help him change the furnace filter. Normally this is a total pain because it's so high up. Now with with the new telescoping ladder that I bought last night at Home Depot it was a breeze and we still had one or two rungs we could have extended. This means another one or two feet.

All said and done and compared to the other ladders I have used when helping him, the new ladder worked awesome and I am SUPER stoked that that I got it and not to forget, for only $48!

Lunch

We stayed over at dads house for a little while after changing the filter and chatted with him and my step mom for a couple hours. Even though we planned on only staying for a few minutes it's always nice to visit.

By the time we left it was already time to eat based on our stomachs rumbling and gurgling loudly.

This meant we had to either heat up and eat some of our left over pizza from last night or get something else entirely.

We opted for the something else entirely route and made a run for the border to Taco Bell. Not the best thing to be eating honestly but will hit the spot and I need some more comfort food while I am sick, that is my excuse anyway.

Back Home

We headed back home to eat, change Zoey's diaper and let her enjoy the cheese quesadilla that we picked up for her at Taco Bell.

Soon after it was time to rest and relax a little bit more before heading back out into the world and getting all of our dam errands taken care of. Running to BabiesRus, Target and several other places would take up a good part of the rest of the afternoon more than likely so the sooner we get it done the sooner we are back, comfortable at home.

Napping

Once back home, Cicely and I ate our Taco Bell and fed Zoey some lunch as well as a nice warm bottle after. I decided that this was a great opportunity to lay down and close my eyes on the couch for a few minutes while she did this.

Well once Cicely was done she decided to lay down as well with Zoey to get her to go to sleep for her afternoon nap. Once she was out she'd move her to her crib or the car seat and we would head out and get the things done we had planned to get done.

After laying down Zoey, Cicely came back out to the living room and laid down on the couch with a plan of only resting for a few minutes, snuggled up with Oggy. Next thing we know all of us were waking up, it was dark out and just after 5:30 PM. Looks like that plan did not work out so well now did it?

On the positive side we are all refreshed so once we get Zoey some dinner in her belly and as long as we don't all lay down again, we plan on heading out and getting as much done as we can. I think we should be okay if we focus and get outta here. The only place we will not be able to go is the specialty pet store that we get Oggy's food at. I think they are close by now and they may not be open on Sunday.

Alright, off to the races - let's see how this plan works out this time compared to our earlier one, ha! Hey in reality this is what holidays and vacation days are all about in my book!
