So, I had plans this weekend, but plans were made to be broken, right? (Or is that 'rules' are made to be broken?) I'm wondering if I can get through two weeks without someone getting sick in our casa. The baby came down with a nasty cough, little fever that didn't last too long thankfully, runny nose, you know...the whole bit. Sleepless nights. This evening she seemed to be bouncing back. I could be bummed that all our plans for the weekend were nixed, but I have to admit that it was nice having the hubby home to help. Spending time together is always a blessing, even if sickness is in the air. Now, if only my hubby had tomorrow off like most of the country....
One of the things I was 'planning' on doing over the weekend was posting the fabulous giveaway I'm doing next, but I'm saving that for TOMORROW now. You'll want to tell all your friends about it...they'll be happy and just may take you out to lunch if they win. ;-)
Oh yeah, and about last Friday's random sale...I'm going to tr
y to find more random items for the future since a lot of you got a kick out of that! ;-)
