So I would have to admit that my day to day life is fairly free of excessive scheduling. Which is a fancy way of admitting that I don't usually have a lot going on. This month has been quite the exception. This weekend was a definite exception. Friday I was lucky to have my cousin Joe, his wife Teriney, and their three adorable children come up an visit from Little Rock. (Now for those of my readers who happen to think that Little Rock is close by, that would be like saying St. George is close to Odgen.) So visits usually only happen once a year. Teriney and I had a super fun day just hanging with the kids and then everyone came over for dinner. Now Saturday I had quite a day planned. I was supposed to teach two classes at Super Saturday. One class on gift wrapping, (I used to do this at Dillards, so I know how to make really big bows.) and the other on pie making. After that we were going to take my family up to Tanyard Creek, a really pretty little hike and waterfall and then get some Thai food. BIG BIG DAY! I was excited though. So here comes 4:30 a.m and well to save you the gruesome details I was in the bathroom the rest of the morning. (Poor Jeff probably had legal grounds for divorce after that night.) So all my fun plans were dashed. I did get a bit of relief when I found out that it was not my cooking that made me sick, and no one else got sick. So not only did I not get to have another great day with my cousin and his family, but I had to bail on the Relief Society and look like a total loser/flake! Why did this happen? Like I said, I am not a busy person, so I kinda feel like maybe there was a reason why this happened. But what could it be? Humility? Maybe, but I am not sure about that cause it wasn't so much embarrassing as much as I just felt like I let everyone down and now they either think ill of me or have their prior ill feeling once again confirmed. I don't want to be the shining star of my ward, I just kinda wanna fade into the background. It is hard for me to tone myself down. Believe it or not, I have been trying for a bit, but I feel like life keeps throwing me into situations where I have less of a chance to fade. Maybe it was just really bad timing. It was funny being at church today cause I kept seeing all these people I let down and on the one hand I wanted to say I was sorry, but on the other hand, why should I apologize for being sick. I was actually torn about apologizing, cause then I would have been admitting that there was something I could have done about it. Which there wasn't. I am sorry that things turned out the way they did. I'm not really responsible, (right now I am placing the blame on the Taco Bell by the Promenade,) but I am sorry things didn't turn out. Hell I am sorry that my day was screwed. I was gonna have fun. Next weekend is kinda big too; I wonder how it will turn out?

Bella has puked three times today. One of them was at church and all over me. I think the stomach thing is just going around. I am scared who else in my house is going to get sick. I am just praying it isn't me.
we had the puke hit our house already. It was bad when it hit, but went away really quickly...like a 12 hour flu.
Sympathy. =( Sickness seems to time itself for when we're least able to accommodate it. Glad it didn't last any longer.u2&me3
I am glad that you are feeling well. If it makes you feel any better you can always come over and teach me how you make your awesome pie crust and tie really cute bows on my packages this year for christmas. I stocked up on ribbon at the Associate store and now I just need to learn what to do with it.
I am sorry that you were so sick. There's really nothing worse. No apology necessary to anyone! Don't we all get sick? It never seems like a convenient time, no matter what's going on in life. I think getting sick is sometimes a reminder that really nothing in my life is more important than my own well-being...anything else can be put on the back burner if I'm not healthy.
I had no idea you were a professionally trained gift wrapper. Jimmie has actually hired some girls in the ward to wrap my gifts the past 3 or 4 years, because he knows how much I love to have a pretty package under the tree.
I wanted to scoop Mae up and take her home with me today, btw. ;)
Snap! I'm sorry you were sick but I'm glad it didn't last very long. You'll have to teach me how to make those big bows sometime!
@Kasey, let Jimmie know that I would be happy to wrap all your presents in exchange for some babysitting.
I am thinking of hosting a lunch bunch in a few weeks and showing the bow trick. it is pretty simple once you see how to do it. Or if anyone wants to do a playdate I would totally come over and help them wrap/make pies.
I think it was Taco Bell! Hazie and I had some issues later and we were the only ones who ate it! That will show me to pass on chic fil a! Thanks again for everything!!!!
