I said I'd never... but I did.

I did it. Something I said I was never going to do.

I have been sick for the past five days, fever, nasty cough and congestion and a sore throat. I feel miserable. Well, I am one of those that believes if you're sick - stay home, don't spread the sickness. Well, I went against my own rule. I seem to be over the fever part and my fridge and kitchen cupboards are screaming for some food in them. I very well could have sent my husband grocery shopping if I wanted to wait, but I didn't. I went myself, I've spent several days doing nothing but blow my nose and watch movies, so I wanted to step out of the house. But I totally shouldn't have gone, by the end of the trip I was twice as miserable and now feel worse than I did before I left. The whole time I felt like people were staring at me like they knew that I was sick and I shouldn't be out. Oops.

I did something else too.

I am also one of those people that believes that when you go to the grocery store you should buy something before you consume it. Anything - a bottle of pop/water, chips, etc. I have firmly stuck by this rule, until today. Twice I broke it. One, I was so incredibly thirsty I literally couldn't stand it, I drank a bottle of water before I bought it. Oops. Two, my lips are like the Arabian desert, they have never been so chapped before in my life, they look terrible and feel terrible. The only thing that I find ever works for my lips when they get this chapped is Vaseline - I also used that that today too before I bought it- several times. Oops, again.

Haha!! You will break that second rule again so many more times now that you will have a kid. I can't even tell you the amount of times that I have opened a cracker box in the grocery store to keep my kids from freaking out. :)

Well, I have to honestly say, that I don't ever remember breaking that rule, untill Thursday night. Rod and I were at Wal-mart at 9pm shopping and I felt like I was going to pass out, simply not good at all. I turned to Rod and said GET THE PEANUTS NOW HONEY, NOW! When he brought them I ripped open the container and started eating. The look on Rod's face was like, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, he knows I never consume before I buy. It helped a little but I haven't been feeling all that well either lately, I think I really needed SLEEP. : ) : ) : ) : ) : )

I can't say that I have done that either but I did yesterday when I was at walmart with the boys! I picked up cheese at the deli and they were pretty ancy and wanted to go so I gave them a piece of cheese each and didn't hear a peep out of them! But I did think of you when I did it :)
