The flu - the never-ending strain of flu - that took over my two youngest boys and me all last week has left us ennervated. No, I can't even think about typing "la influenza" because it has too many letters in it and requires too much energy.
There is good news: The fevers are finally gone today!! We hope #3's asthma will be much-improved soon, too. That would make me smile, but then I look at the family calendar for this week, I think maybe I should just cry. Activities, school projects, work - more than one event per evening. In addition, I start TAKING not teaching an on-line class this week and it requires 15-20 hours per week. But no. I'm not going to whine or cry or run away. What I am going to do is meme all week. I may well find my blogging future in allowing other bloggers to do all the thinking while I coast. (No response to anyone who asks how this is any different from my past blogging.)
Onward and upward or maybe I should just say, "Next." Monday's meme: Give me 5 Monday ~5 fave or UNfave things for which I shop:
1. UNfave: school supplies - the list never ends; the emotions tied to returning to a schedule and school aren't always happy.
2. UNfave: groceries - the never-ending task
3. Fave: shoes - anytime; anywhere
4. UNfave: certain clothing items for husband or son #1- they find it easier to say they don't like something rather than describe what they do like.
5. Fave: furniture - we never buy, but I could actually shop in furniture stores every.single.day
What are your faves or UNfaves??

Feel better;)
Oh, I feel for you. I hope things get better and the work week ends up easier than it looks. If that is possible. I also hope I don't catch the flu via your blog.
I love to shop for furniture, sheets, towels and coolers.
I don't buy them, I just love looking. Well, I suppose I buy some, we have about 12 coolers. :)
I also love buying specialty oils and vinegars. Spices make me happy. Yes, I am a little strange. :)
I join you in your husband un-fave! That's number 5 on my list on http://www.mommysjoy.com. Why is it that they are so hard to shop for? They're human, mostly, therefore they need things too. I'm just glad I had a daughter so I have at least one person that will like what I buy her. Well, until she's a teenager of course and then she'll just hate everything. I think we are all better off just sticking to shoes.
Happy Monday!
Hope everyone gets back to healthy in your home soon!
Sorry to hear the flu news but glad everyone is on the mend. I am hoping and praying it does not turn up here.
My UNfav: groceries,gas,clothes,groceries and groceries.
Great new look!
<><
Yikes I hope the asthma clears up! We just got over the flu last week. Only my middle son had it. I forgot I don't like shopping for school supplies either. I don't like they have to have certain colors or certain things. When we were younger we could get what we wanted.
Glad you're feeling better. :) Once your hectic week starts wreaking havoc with your sanity think about shoe shopping. It'll help. Trust me! ;)
Unfave: household necessities like cleaning supplies
fave: groceries.
I heart furniture shopping too!!!! What is *that* all about? LOL Happy GM5 :)
I am praying hard for you all to feel better...hope this week is better for you and your family. You all have been hit hard.
Faves...fabric, wood, paint, any craft, fabric, or art store...oh, and Vera Bradley...and Yankee Candle Stores.
Unfaves...Bass Pro shops, toys stores, and anything I am not interested in.
glad sickness is leaving your household and hoping the asthma settles down; sounds like a busy busy week though! make sure you try to get as much rest as you can and take a few extra vitamin C to help the immune system
