Pinewood Derby and a Bus!

On Wednesday, Andrew had his pinewood derby. Getting the car done this year was down to the last minute. We were a little crazy. He did really good. It is always fun to see the boys creativity come out. I have to admit, it is even funner to watch the Dad's. They get so into it. We have to remind then sometimes that this is the boys thing. I am in the Bear scout den so I got to help with the awards. Andrew's car looked great.
This last week was really a long one for me. The day of the derby, I started to feel a little yucky. I thought maybe it was a cold, but by that night I was so miserable I felt like I had been hit by a bus. So I switched my Dr, appt to thursday morning. Come to find out I have influenza. I had a lovely high fever, my ears and throat were so red and my chest and head were so full of green snot I could hardly breath. Thank heavens my doctor was able to give me some good stuff. I do not remember the last time I was slammed so hard. I think I slept for two day straight and could hardly get out of bed. I think my kids were orphans during the day. I was too stubborn to let Jeff stay home from work. Jeff has been really sweet. I am finally feeling better. The cough and snot are not wanting to go away, but hopefully soon. Yea for a new week.
