Good morning ladies! I guess you could say I am recuperating as the stuff is coming up, but durn it gives you a headache to cough all the time and my ribcage and such are sore so it is as bad as having the cold in the first place.
Jack was a hit last night at the Cub Scout party. Jack didn't have any black shoes for the "boot covers" to go over so wore his New Balance. Kelly teased him about it and he said he was going to tell the kids he needed running shoes because he had so much to do!
Jean: I always loved it when the kids would shout out to their parents or ham it up. It made the show just that much more cute and you weren't bored to tears if the show they presented was boring. Thomas is playing his violin in the show tonight so I am anxious to hear him play. The are doing the nutcracker in some variety I guess. Gets my goat as they are lazy and don't set up chairs, they make the parents sit on the lunch table benches, which kills my back besides being difficult for me to get in and out of. I usually just sit sideways on the bench. Hope your weather has improved and you are able to get around. Nothing worse than slippery surfaces. It is sad that they don't feel they can trust people to bring in homemade baked goods. I know T's school is pretty picky about that kind of stuff too.
Susan: I didn't get the H1N1 because for one thing availability was being limited here. I did get the regular flu shot and this cold is definitely not bad enough to be
H1N1. I probably got it from a kid at school that was sick. You clean things the best you can, but when they cough into the air, you can't do much about that. I am going to start carrying lysol spray with me since they don't provide it and spray the room I think.
I have all the decorations up except for the tree and we will go and get it tomorrow after Jack's dr appt. I can then get it decorated and we are done. I still have cookies to bake Friday and Saturday that I promised Kelly, gifts to wrap and bring downstairs and cleaning to do, so I am by no means going to be able to laze around.
You gals have a nice day today. It was in the 60's here yesterday and quite balmy.

I have many things to do today so will need to get started; I certainly didn't get much done over the weekend. Guess I'll make a list, get dressed, and get started! 
Thank you for sharing the potato soup recipe. I have not tried that one; in fact, I don't ever remember seeing it. 
Today will be a good soup day! 
Knock on wood I haven't had a real 'cold' in several years. Once in awhile my throat is scratchy but I think that is from the air being so dry. I see where the H1N1 shots is now available to anyone who wants one. I'd laugh if they have way too many doses and people aren't lined up to get them. I don't plan to get one. 
from Iowa!
