Sick....and Tired

What do you do when you're sick?  Last weekend is when it started.  I got sick first.  For some reason the dreaded sick always seems to come for me first.  Then yesterday it came for Audrey too.  We've spent a lot of hours laying on the couch together with tissues near by watching old movies.  I had no idea there was such a selection on Netflix.  I've watched a few terrible ones but mostly good ones.  When the dreaded sick comes to you, you might want to consider: Sabrina (with Audrey Hepburn), How to Steal a Million, Arsenic and Old Lace (a Halloween party must!), and Top o' the Morning.  When Audrey gets sick of watching old shows we switch to Sesame Street.  I don't know why but she loves it.  Unfortunately watching movies can get boring really fast, so we've read a lot of books.

I guess Heavenly Father knew I would be lonely, and the only way I could live away from my family was to have good friends. He has blessed me with the greatest friends in the world.  Merian (my Mom away from home) brought me some Chicken Noodle Soup.  It was perfect...Paul and I kept looking at each other saying, "this is SO GOOD!".  It disappeared so fast that I'm thinking about making another pot today for Audrey.  Then a couple of days ago one of my new friends brought me a potted flower.  It was a beautiful sight after being cooped up in the house for several days.

I hope Paul escapes the grasp of the dreaded sick this season.  He's worried about work enough without adding a couple days of absence.
Well I'm off to make soup. Looking at this picture is making me want a bowl for lunch.
