What it is like to be sick the weekend of Christmas

Well I have an answer to that one. It stinks very badly. That's right I got hit with some sort of big yesterday. Angel and I fought the crowds at the mall while I was beginning to feel crummy. We finally got home and I slept for 3 hours. I got my self dressed and to my Grandma's to help set up for the big Van Hofwegen Christmas. I didn't last more then 30 minutes. I came home and slept the rest of the night. I realized how much I wanted to be there while lying in my bed trying to get warm. I'm not sure if I had the flu or if it was side effects from my shots. But I do know I have little energy and a lot of laundry. Normally today would be filled with helPing my mom bake, and doing other Christmasy things. But for now I'm going to color with my box of 24 crayons Christmas color pages. I'll watch my mom maneuver the kitchen with her great domestic skills, and I'll listen to the Cardinals game with my dad. And once the washer buzzer goes off I'll get my weak body up and fix my laundry.
