Shopping, sickness, and sleep...oh my!

It feels like ages since the last time I felt well enough to post. This cold or whatever it is has drained me. It had been a week and it is still holding on. We were suppose to go to Kindermusik tonight but Henry is still coughing a lot and I don't want to spread it around. We made a quick trip to the grocery store and that pretty much did me in. Oh well.

Two weeks ago Mark was home and we finally got our Christmas/birthday gifts for each other. Although before we even did that we had to buy a new TV. Ours was in bad shape and I finally convinced him to let it go. We went to Sears and got a 40 inch flat panel Samsung at a very good price. It was actually two hundred dollars less than what I expected to pay. I was soooo pleased!

After purchasing the TV we drove to Traverse City. We stopped at Applebee's for lunch. I will never eat there again. We were seated in non-smoking but the smoking section was right next to us. No window separating us or any kind of barrier. Three tables were smoking. RIGHT NEXT TO US! What the heck is up with that? How can they call that non-smoking. I complained but still...that is ridiculous and I will not eat there again. And just to put the icing on the cake Irene peed on me while I was holding her. So I got to eat in wet pants.

After lunch we got Irene a new outfit at Wal-Mart. Then we went to AT&T. It took forever there and I took the kids and sat in the car. Mark and I both got new phones and he got a wireless thingy for his laptop so he can go online while on the road. I wasn't going to be too picky about phones. I had a blackberry through Sprint and I only really liked the calender function on it. I really didn't want another one since they are so finicky. Mark decided I should get an iPhone. And...I LOVE IT!!!! It is the greatest phone ever made. I love the calender function and can keep every appointment for the month up front. Plus getting on Facebook or into my email is as simple as pushing a button. But I'll stop going on and on about it.

We also purchased a new kitchen table at Art Van. It is very nice and we got a fabulous deal on it. So once again I was happy. After that we hit the mall. Mark finally got a new battery in his watch. While we were wandering around we bumped into Jennifer and her daughter Abby. I love seeing people I know when out of town ;-) Overall it was a great day with my hubby and the kids.

The kids started Kindermusik last week. Saw a lot of people that we've know for years now including Amy, Mason, and T. We also met a few new ones. Henry was really out of it at class and kept telling Ms. Melinda that his tummy hurt. He fell asleep in the car on the way home and was very pale. Turned out he had a fever and that was the start of our (so far) week long illness.
