Cold, cold go away...

So we've been dealing with sickness at our house. I have been in bed with the flu for over a week. Joseph has been sick too (not that you would know with the energy he has), Josh has even started coughing the last couple days.

Speaking of my wonderful husband. Here are his graduation pics I've been promising.



His graduation was a busy day. I wish I could have had a better seat to get pictures of when he got his diploma. But I was wrestling with a two year old who wanted to go home and see his daddy. So he's all graduated and we are excited. Although, we are hoping for two more graduations in the next five years. I will graduate with my bachelor's (hopefully before my 40th birthday) and Josh will graduate with his master's in Social Work. Then we can work on getting Joseph to high school.

But back to being sick. So I have been incapacitated for the last week. I've gone to church to teach my lesson, and we had New Beginnings last week so I went to that. But other than that I've been in bed. (okay, so I took Joseph to the doctor last week but whatever). We keep our house at 69 degrees (trying to cut costs on that dreadful gas bill) but it's felt about 49 degrees to me. In our bathroom we have a "dream wall". It has pics of tropical areas, nice rooms, etc. We got the idea from "The Secret" (about the only thing I liked from that show). Every time I'm in the bathroom (been downing water to get me over my flu) I look at those pictures and imagine I'm sitting on the beach there. I need a tropical vacation. We are planning on going to California this summer, but man oh man, I need heat right now.

Josh took Joseph to run some errands with him today (thank you MLK for giving us a holiday today) So I can rest and relax a little. I love my boys, and I love where I live (not the house, but the area), but I would give almost anything to be alone on a beach with a good book right now. I'd also need someone who would bring me food and virgin daiquiris. I can't wait for summer to come. Usually I don't mind the winter. But this year I need spring. Maybe because my parents come home this summer. I don't know. Maybe I'm getting old.

Anyone know how I can get to the Caribbean on $10?
