colds

Last Sat Austin called me at 11 AM saying that he was afraid to drive home in the snow. (Which was falling really good.) So, when mom and I showed up he said "Mom do you mind driving your car I don't feel good."

Then later that afternoon mom, dad, Ashley, Austin, Aaron, Chris, grandma and I had planned on going to Red Lobster for my dad's Birthday. Well, about 2 or so dad asked if it was ok if I drove Ashley and Austin there so he can go get grandma. Okay, so I wasn't too thrilled about driving in sleet, but I agreed.

After we ate I could tell that Austin really wasn't feeling well, so instead of joining the rest of the family, I took Austin and Ashley on home.

So, as of right now I have a full blown head cold. Now granted I don't get colds often, but when I do they're usually bad ones. So I ran to Walmart and picked up some NEED to have stuff..... Dayquil, NyQuil, cough drops, vitamin c, zinc, orange juice, and tissues.... I keep myself drugged up when I'm sick.

I found the most AMAZING tissue EVER. It's puffs with VICKS lotion. Each tissue smells like vapor rub. Talk about clearing your nose. It's the most amazing tissue I ever seen.

Not exactly sure how strong the scent is considering my nose is runny half the time and clogged the rest. I can smell it with my nose stuffed up, so it's probably really strong. PERFECT for colds...

A bad situation that could've turned really UGLY.

I went to Meijer Friday night after work with Lois and Marlo. We were clear at the back of the store when it happened.... That uncontrollable urge to use the bathroom. So, I left my cart with them and walked all the way to the front of the store to the bathroom.
Afterwards I met up with my friends and 20 mins later and by the checkouts I realized I didn't have my wallet. I checked the carts, and took off running to the bathrooms. I frantically searched but didn't find my wallet. I went up to the nearest checkout clerk and asked if anyone turned it in. After shaking her head I ran back to my friends.
Lois took one look and said "First of all, don't start crying. I'll retrace our steps, Marlo check out around the clothes." They took off and I decided to check the bathroom one last time. I prayed harder than I ever did in my life. I was praying let either a honest person find it, or to please put blinders on dishonest people's eyes.

Went back in and sure enough laying on the sink was my wallet. I grabbed it and checked. ALL my money, checks, and debit card was STILL there. I immediately thanked the Lord for His help and went to find my friends. I found Marlo first and she said "I was praying that you would find it." I then sent a text to Lois telling her I found it.
Lois and I both had to be up and an unearthly hour Sat morning, so we checked out and left Marlo behind to finish her shopping. As we were walking to our Jeeps, Lois said "I was praying that you would find it. I kept repeating over and over 'please let her find it, please let her find it.'" So with my prayers and the prayers of my two friends I found my wallet intact.
However it took over an hour to get my heart rate back to normal.
