Grumpy Old Woman

Mom Canuck always said if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all.

Which is why I'm not saying much this week.

I had to postpone Haddie's annual Halloween bash because this plague is still leveling me and I haven't slept in days.

Does bronchitis feel like death? If so, I think I'm suffering from both.

Speaking of death, we were sad to hear of the passing of our friend (and bishop) Darrin's grandfather. Of course, he was likely in his late 80s and such a passing is to be celebrated. Since Jamie and I have been so near death the past few weeks, we discussed our ideal age to meet the grave.

Me: "I want to live until I'm 89. Only if I'm healthy, of course."

Jamie: "No way. 85 tops."

Me: "Yeah, you're right. You're going to be a grumpy old man."

Jamie (glaring at me): "I wonder why."

========================

On another note: what do you do when you're bored out of your mind and can't sleep all night?

The Monster Mash, of course.

Note: Family Member #5 is the kitty that will be joining our family next week. That's blog fodder just waiting to happen.

Hope you feel better!
You are a brave woman to get a kitty.

Jamie said...

Hope you recover soon!!!

Amber said...

Thanks ladies. May be paying the doc a visit if I don't turn the corner soon!

Lavender Luz said...

Tessa and Reed say,

"WOW! That's really cool!"

And Tessa wants to come visit your kitty soon.

(Feel better!)

Amber said...

Let's hope we have better luck with our kitty than we did the fish. Still don't know how you kept your tank so clean!

Amanda D said...

I fully expect to live until I'm 100. I'm just afraid of the aches and pains I am feeling at 30. :)

A cat, huh? Good luck!

Shana said...

The video is cool.
Feel better soon

Wow, that's awesome! (the choreography that must have taken DAYS to prepare...not the plague. The Plague isn't awesome.)

:)

Amber said...

We also did JibJab's rhythmic gymnastics and disco sequences. Smoooooth.

Noelle said...

Awesome card! Hope you feel better soon. Congrats on your new family member - you're not allergic to cats, are you?;-)

kim @ mommyknows said...

Oh NO! I feel for you :(

I hope you all feel better soon. We're having a crafty soft of Halloween party on Friday. I'm kinda hoping I get sick and can cancel it.

Lizzie said...

I sure hope you feel better soon!

Yvonne said...

Amber--I'm so sorry you guys have been hit so hard. Hope you're doing better soon.

The little card is TOO CUTE.

Amber said...

After my fourth sleepless night in a row, I'm definitely making an appointment with the doc today. I am officially SICK. :-)

Lauren in GA said...

I am so sorry that you are still sick. I hate how draining it is.

I loved the video, though. Is that picture of Bode the one where his head was stuck in the chair?

Amber said...

Not the picture of Bode stuck in the chair. It was another funny one I took while we were at dinner in Beaver Creek!

Hang in there! This plague can't last forever.

Get well soon!

You and Jamie are so cute! LOL

Feel better soon!

Freckle Face Girl said...

I love JibJab. So cute! I hope you feel better soon!

Melissa said...

JibJab is awesome :) Love that stuff! Maybe you should go see a Dr. I'm one to talk though... I hate going to the doctor. It's frustrating to hear them say "It's a virus. Go home, get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids... now give me $200".

Holly at Tropic of Mom said...

Ack, I'm sorry you're sick. I'm still recovering from a cold/flu/whatever that leveled me a couple weeks ago, so I relate. Love Bode's monster hair!
