Oh good, another cold

Suffering today from an awful head cold (break off for sneezing, coughing and nose blowing)!

If I believed in higher beings, at this point, I would think it/they had it in for me this year.

So far in 2008:

chicken pox x 2 small children
flu x 2 big grown ups, x 1 small child
operations x 1
shitty head colds x 8 (that's spread over 4 people)
various other kinds of colds - at least 15

also
boiler (packs up regularly at Christmas)
flooding
1 fox, killing, so far, total of 5 chickens
and, just this week, a bloody great big tick on one of the cats - yuck!

On the other hand, the sun came out today, so it was warm, and we made flowery crowns, and then wore our winter hats - maybe the shitty head cold had some influence here! All I ask is that it stops right now! It's my birthday next month and I'd like to enjoy it, some.

Do something creative every day

Hello

Me and the small ones made flowers today (thanks to an idea from kidscraftweekly.com) and continued the theme by planting sunflower seeds - we're hoping for GIANTS !!!!

I would highly recommend that you try a creative activity for yourself, your partner, or your other family members - we always really enjoy making stuff, even if things don't turn out how you expect them to! Personally, I find myself more settled if I have made something during the day - even if it's something I cooked - not necessarily one of my crafty interests.

Check out some of my web spots for ideas, ask your friends what they do, or just work up your own ideas.

Good luck, and happy creating!
