"Wakey Wakey! Time for Bed!"

Wow I think this may have been the longest I've gone without posting. I think I even posted more while on our trip up here.

As I mentioned I've been really really sick. This may not make sense but the last two days I've done fine during the day- minus the lack of energy and nothing really tasting normal that is present 24/7. Then it seems like as soon as I get into to bed and try to sleep that something turns back on and I start coughing. I've never caughed so hard before. Its been painful. Last night was the worst I didn't fall asleep until about 6am and that was after taking a hot bath. I kind of turned our bathroom into a steam room and that seemed to help. I wanted to try the salt solution that Momma Tammi suggested. I still don't really know what it is but mom does and she went to the store today and got whatever it was we need. *shrugs shoulders* If I have another bad night I'm for sure going to try that.

Last night Matthew, Mom, Jessa and I played a game of Monopoly. I hadn't played a real game of it sense the brutal beating by Bekah Dorn when they lived in IL- man that was along time ago. I don't believe Alana was born even yet. Anyway Matthew took out Mom rather quick. Then it seemed that the game was going to be between Jessa and Matthew because they both had twice what I had. Well I seemed to pass up Matthews property for several go arounds and Jessa got stuck on his and mine a few times and got whipped out. By then I had more then enough money that not even landing on Boardwalk with a hotel on would take me out. But landing on Park Place and Boardwalk one right after the other pretty much did me in. I could have turned everything over and still had some left but there was no point continuing on. I'm one not to give up on a game if I think I can win but I know when I don't have a chance under the sun to win that its just time to stop. Plus I was starting to fill very spent.

I don't know what Micah, Josh and Joleesa were doing during this time but once Matthew left I join the 3 in the living room and laughed it up with them for awhile. Micah was curled up in the love seat resting and by this time it was probably after 12am and Joleesa decides its time for them to go and she goes up to him and starts shaking him and saying "Wakey Wakey! Time for Bed!" my wonderfully smart sister :P They left and we went off to bed and then the horrible night of coughing started which I already told you about.

Well today was our first real youth event. It seems like every day is a youth event becuase pretty much they are all over here on a daily basis. Actually no not really. The only one that came over Thursday was Matthew and that was a good thing because I was really sick and it would be horrible to get everyone sick.

Anyway today was our first real youth event. Codi's dad is an artist and so when he dropped her off he brought over a bunch of his paintings that he's done. Wow he is super talented. He had this one black-and- white picture of the mountains reflecting into the Cook Inlet here in Anchorage that if he still has when I've got money to spare I really want to buy it. I love black and white photos and so thus it should not be a suprise that I love a black and white painting. It comes in this really nice silver frame...ohh how I would love to have it. Oh well in due time. His paintings are very reasonably priced well for someone with money LOL. After awhile of fellowship the adults left (minus mom and dad) and Jessa did a wonderful devotion on love and then we all pitched in and made pizzas. Matthew got this brillent *rolls eyes* to make a deep dish pizza without a deep dish pan. It was a hillerious looking pizza once it was done. The pizza's were sooo goood. I think we had something of everything. Well there were no fishys on the pizza and no fruit :P :P :P

Then we played Catch phrase and my team one twice!! Oh Yeah!! My team was made up of Mom, Jacob, Josh, Matthew and myself. The other team was Joleesa, Jessa, Larry, Codi and Micah both games were close but my team won :-D

Then we played spoons. I had never played it before but managed to win- cool huh- the biggest glory wasn't winning but beating out Matthew. I got put in a head lock for that one :oP

That been my last couple days. I finished one blog template for someone. I'm creating a special background for someone else and then I'm gonna work on someting for myself. No Jared its not my OCD problem in full gear it. I really do love doing this kind of stuff. Each person brings a new sepurate challenge to the same thing. Makes me think outside the box. I love it. Plus I'm learning to not only do it but be able to explain to people how to do it. Thats a challenge I'm conquering all on its own.

Well I don't think its going to let me post pictures tonight. Not to mention I need to get to bed and get some sleep theres church in the morning.

Hope you all have had a good couple days

God Bless
and Good Night
