Weekly Menu Plan

Well I meant to get this posted yesterday but i cam down with a nasty bug and a day filled with the thought "Why did I even get out of bed?" You know those days.. When nothing could possibly go right and everything that could go wrong will go wrong. That was my entire day!

A doodle I did in Sketchbook Pro
on the Ipad while bored..

I woke up nice and early. Think 5 am. Way earlier than I wanted to get up. As soon as I was awake I noticed my throat kinda had a little itchy tickle to it. I went down stairs poured my coffee and grabbed my usual morning pills.. Multi-Vitamin, Calcium and Allergy med. Then figured well if I'm getting sick I should take a vitamin C just in case. Sat down to do my morning quiet time only to stop half way through with a massive sinus headache and the starts of a migraine. GREAT! Poured my morning granola with yogurt took a bite and though I was going to be sick. Went and immediately laid down on the couch. All i could think of was.. "I can't be getting sick? Who gave this bug to me? NOOOO! I can't get sick. I have a gazillion things to do!" I spent the day laid out on the couch with a box of tissues for a nose that couldn't decide between being runny or stuffy, a water bottle and my trusty friend netflix. lol

Half way through my netflix-athon I decided that I really should try to eat something. I remembered that I had picked up a baguette from the store and figured a slice or two of whole wheat bread might do me some good. I grabbed the bread knife and started cutting. I got 2 slices ready before WHAM! I slice open my index finger. Blood is everywhere.. on my sweet precious bread that I so wanted to eat. I grabbed some paper towels and applied pressure and raised my hand to stop the bleeding all while trying to figure out how on earth I could cut more bread to eat. lol Dang it! I wanted that bread and I was determined to have it! After a few minutes of trying to find a way to cut the loaf I gave up on the notion that bread was going to be in my future and asked my son to heat up some water for a cup of tea instead. A nice hot cup of tea.. soothing tea... that is exactly what I needed.

I laid back down on the couch to notice that once again my nose was runny and I needed tissues. Only this time.. It wasn't a runny nose. I had gotten a bloody nose! Seriously? I haven't had one of those in forever!

So there I was, sitting on the couch with a finger wrapped in paper towels raised above my head. My other hand with tissue and pressure applied to my nose to stop that bleeding. My wonderful husband then gets home from work and asks... "How was your day?" I didn't know if I wanted to respond with "How does it look like my day was?" or to cry. lol So there is my day in a nutshell and why my menu plan didn't get posted soon. Hope you will all be able to forgive me.. lol
