First off I wanted to update everyone on how I’m doing with my pneumonia. I’m feeling a bit better, but I have found that simply going down stairs to change laundry, or vacuuming is enough for me to over due it! I get weak and shaky and cough my lungs up after trying those simple chores. Its SO frustrating! Grrrr! I feel like such a useless ‘gimp-a-zoid’! I have a hole new respect for anyone who has been through this! I always thought of pneumonia as a flue like thing that just came and went, but after this I really know what its like! And man, I feel for ANYONE who’s had this Nasty, icky, craptastic crud!
Thankfully I have had some Wonderful people helping me out! Mark has taken the job of Daddy and Mommy for the past 2 weeks!!! He does better at it then I do!!!! ;) Mark has been such a trooper! I totally am the luckiest woman in the world! (Mark YOU ROCK! Thanks Sugar!!!)
And my WONDERFUL sister in law Rachael was here for almost a week, and she graciously helped with feeding the kids, doing cleaning, and being good company for me!
One of the Most frustrating things for me is I can’t laugh at all!!!!!!!!!! And for those of you who know me well, you’ll know how bad that is! I’m like the guy on Mary Poppins “I Love to laugh He he ha ha! Loud and long and clear.” Its TERRIBLE for me! If I even let a giggle escape I start coughing so fiercely that it drains my whole body of energy!!!!!! So basically I haven’t been able to enjoy a good laugh for 2 weeks!!!!! And its Really hard when Rachael and Mark get slap-happy at night! They are hillarious! I really had coughing fits with those two around!! But what even worse was Rachael and her twin Erin! Those two just have to sit together and they start giggling! Their brain waves are connected and they are just a giggly pair!!! I love those two! But man, I just couldnt hold back the giggles and that would start me coughing up a lung again! Then they started saying that they were killing me! LOL sigh Ahh well, it was worth it! ;)
(Thats just been totally ‘Sucktastic’ for me!!!)

I also wanted to send out a HUGE thank you to Everyone who has brought in dinners, or picked up the kids to go play at their house!!! I really have a great neighborhood and ward!
My friends are the most ‘Fantabulous’ bunch of people I could have ever wished for!!! Thanks Everyone!

I also wanted to post the pictures of my more recent crochet projects I’ve done. I was so sick there for a while that I couldn’t even do that, but now that I’m not sleeping all day, I have been able to pick that up for something to do. So here are some that I have finished:

I also finished a dragon, but didn’t get a good picture of that, I’ll have to do that and post it, he was cute!

Also, in other news, 4 of our puppies have been reserved for a new home when they are able to leave mommy. I’m shocked because I haven’t placed an add or anything, its just been ‘through the grape vine’ that people call and ask to see them. Crazy! But they are all going to Great homes! I’m just Thrilled for them!
