I Miss School!

So I didn't go to school all week.  I really was sick.  Not as much these past few days, but my mom kept me home, rather for my own good.  I'm actually glad that she did, because otherwise I would probably already be sick again.  I miss school, but this is a lot of what I did, if not all, while I wasn't at school this week.

Monday-So I woke up and puked my guts out.  Then I went to the doctor who was very insensitive (I hate that!) and didn't even remember when we had called the day before.  It made my mom maaaaaaaaaad.  So for the rest of the day I slept.  And took a miserable shower.  And puked my guts out some more. 

Tuesday-I really don't remember.  That's weird.  I think I got my days mixed up.  But I do remember that I felt much better that day and my parents made fun of me because I slept for like 20 hours straight the day before.  Hee hee hee!

Wednesday-That day my mom was really feeling the cabin fever since we couldn't go anywhere because of the snow and ice, and when she gets like that, she moves furniture!  We had like a bedroom party and organized and threw away and moved shelves and I feel so much better about my organization now because me and Abigail's room was a mess!

Thursday-My dad was off and he and I played some MarioKart and it was fun.  Then he ran some errands and I played MarioKart and it was just fun.  This was kind of a more relax-y fun day.  We (mom, Esther, and I) went to Target because she needed diapers for Esther and I had some money that was burning a hole in my pocket.  $40 in Target gift cards, baby!  I bought some birthday gifts for Abigail (she was almost a Valentine baby), Valentines to give out at school, and some SillyBandz for myself.

Friday (today)-I organized some more while listening to the radio in my room.  Played with Esther all day.  She is so adorable!  The only thing is, she forgot how to sleep or something.  Not good.  She keeps waking everybody (my mom [poor mom {and Esther}]) up in the middle of the night and getting up early.  I also finished a scarf that I was knitting (my first real project) for Abigail for her upcoming birthday.  Shhhhhh!

That was my week.  Little bit of everything, but no sledding still.  Understandable but disappointing. 

S is for Sick. And Snow. And School. And Scouts.

And Seriously.  I don't wanna be sick anymore.  I don't think my throat can take much more strep.  And I wanta go to school!  I miss it.

Sick sick sick sick.

Doing better.  So on Monday I woke up, breathed in, coughed once, and vomited (thank fully in the toilet), went to the doctor, and slept, and then took a miserable shower, and slept all day and all night.  Some well needed sleep!  20 hours!  My dad said that I played video games in my sleep with him but I think that was his sarcasm coming out.  I'm sure.  Right?!  People don't play video games in their sleep!  Or do they?

Snow snow snow snow.

It snowed.  Again.  I really didn't think we'd ever get this much in one year, living in Saint Louis!  We still didn't get to go sledding... ah, the disappointment.  But it's okay.  It snowed, and that in itself is enough for me.  But since it snowed and freezing-rained and sleeted and hailed, we didn't have any

School school school school.

I wouldn't have gone anyway so that's good because it didn't count against my absence.  But darn it, now we have to go to school into June!  My mom probably won't make us go, though.  (Smirk.)

And, to top it off, I sold 135 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  Yay me!  Last year I sold 160, but I sold less this year because I had to give a lot of my customers to my sister this year.  Still, that's alotta cookies!  Enough for me.

Ucky

Today at school the sewage system backed up.  I guess I timed this cold just right because my nose is so stuffy I couldn't smell it!  Everyone was like, "Emma, you're so lucky you couldn't smell it!"  "This is so gross"  "It smells so bad!"  It was nice and funny because Mr. Rouse moved the trash can by me because I used so many tissues! 

I even tried the Neti Pot and it didn't work!  If you don't know what a Neti Pot is, it's this thing that looks like a little teapot.  You fill it with warm distilled water and this special packet and you put it up your nose.  You lean over and put the end spout thingy in one nostril and all of the junk is supposed to come out the other nostril.  I can't believe this.  How does it not work?!?

I want my nose to be un-stuffed and this nasty cough to be gone.  Pleez?

Oh, let me know if you want Girl Scout cookies by FRIDAY because the form is due this weekend.  Thank you!

Again?!?

Sick?  Again?  Really?  Already!  This is an outrage!

So we went to doctor Winnie-the-Pooh-Bear again yesterday and he said that I had strep again.  More yucky penicillin. 

So that means I couldn't go to school.  I got a-let's see.  1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and possibly 6-day weekend.... but I don't really want it anymore!

I also feel really bad cause this means I could have all of the Girl Scouts who went to camp, and my Grandpa who has cancer sick.  This is horrible!

New Blog

Okay, so I haven't written in two days.  Nothing much has happened.  But, I have recently created a new blog ONLY FOR GIRLS.

http://www.emma-girlsonly.blogspot.com/

So if you're a girl, check it out!

(I would make one for boys but I don't think that would turn out so well.  Sorry!)

My dad is much better, by the way.  (Arrgh, not by the way again!) 

Poor Daddy

Today my dad finally went to the doctor.  He has been feeling under-the-weather since Thanksgiving and it won't get better.  My mom went with him so my aunt Jenny came to babysit us. 

Esther was sleeping the whole time so me and Abigail had her all to ourselves!  We played Guess Who a TON.  Then uncle Greg came and we played it with him too.  When my mom and dad came home uncle Greg took me, Abigail, and aunt Jenny out to eat.  We were going to go to Crown Candy, but there was a really long line that went out the door and down the street.  So we went to the Fountain on Locust.  I had a grilled cheese sandwich with apples and fancy cheese on it and it was sooooooooooooo yummy.  They also had these really good, home-made potato chips instead of french fries.  For dessert me and Abigail both had ice cream cones and after that I was really full. 

My dad has been sleeping all day and I really hope he gets better soon.  He had to miss work today and this is only the second time in like 18 years!  Poor daddy.....

Right now my mom is making bread and it smells heavenly.  I better go taste-test.

A Funny Story

Today we got presents in the mail from my aunt and uncle.  My mom put them under the tree and went in the room.  At this point, my baby-toddler-adorable-cute-sister was probably thinking, Ohhh.  Jackpot.  So she ran over and started ripping them all open!  It was hilarious!

Oh, by the way, (actually, not by the way.  I don't know why I said it that way, it has nothing to do with that. Funny.) we went to the doctor's office today and found out that I have strep-throat.  At least that's good because doctor Winnie-the-Pooh-Bear prescribed me some penicillin to make it better by Christmas... Yay!

You may be wondering why I said doctor "Winnie-the-Pooh-Bear."  Well, that's because he totally reminds me of Winnie-the-Pooh-Bear.  In a good way.   I totally love Winnie-the-Pooh-Bear.  Tigger is awesome too.  And, yes, you Eeyore.

Well, only 3 more days untill Christmas!

Sick Sucks

I couldn't get on the computer yesterday because it was Sunday, I was SICK, and we had family Christmas #2.  I got a Sing-A-Ma-Jig, a latch-hook project, new pajamas, a Spirograph and a scarf.

I think this is the sickest I've ever been.  It started out in the morning when I got up, I threw up a stomach-full of snot.  Then I had a bad fever and continued to throw up all day.  Now my throat really hurts but I think the throwing up was the worst part.

I can't think of anything else to write now.  Merry Sickmas!
