Home Sick

I stayed home from church today with snotty, coughy kids. Emily was the only totally healthy person in the family, so my husband stayed with her during Sacrament meeting and then left her there and then Primary president brought her home after church. (The Primary president lives in our neighborhood.) This morning in bed I realized that we totally forgot to attend the Primary activity on Friday night. It was supposed to be a good one too. Emily cried because we forgot. She was so looking forward to it. I told her it was her job to remember these things. I seem to be very forgetful lately.

I have a sore throat and aching body. However, the aching body is not from being sick. I did yard work yesterday and my body is paying the price for it. My body hasn't experienced that much exertion in a long time. The yard looks dang good though! We derednecked it a bit. Took the toys out of the yard, pulled some weeds, pulled the dead tomato plants, mowed the weeds in the grass, threw away the old newspapers on the walkway, and edged the sidewalks. I was looking forward to admiring it as we drove past it on our way to and from church today. It didn't happen. I admired it from my window instead.

I just finished watching a sappy Hallmark channel movie, The Flower Girl. I'm a sucker for Hallmark movies.
