I guess I should start this off in a way anyone would on a day like this--in remembrance. I cannot believe 11 years has passed already since 9.11.01. I can still remember that day vividly. Though it didn't affect me greatly personally, it was devastating to think of how many peoples mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, daughters, sons, etc were killed or in some way broken because of a few people. I was going up the stairs in my highschool between periods of class when they were announcing it, so I missed the first half of the announcement and wasn't really sure what had happened until we sat down in next period and the teacher explained. A guy in my class, his uncle worked in the building that was first hit--his mom picked him up from school shortly after he told us that. It was hard to really imagine the outcome--a plane crashing into a building was such a foreign concept to me--it wasn't until I got home and turned on the tv did it really even make sense. I even video taped some of the live news coverage (god only knows where that tape is now). Anyways--this is a day that will forever be remembered but also tainted with a memory of pain, blood, loss, and suffering of thousands.
Anyways--onto a little less depressing stuff!
Last night, I got home a bit early and was feeling a little more energetic than usual--I started whipping up some chicken a la king when Ty called--saying his stomach was not feeling 100% and he would be home soon as he was just picking up stuff he needed at Home Depot and heading home. When he got home, we sat down to eat and he said he still wasnt feeling good but he was starving (guess it's good I didn't make anythign too heavy!). Very shortly after, we went up to bed and he started...We are certain it was some sort of food poisoning from the day, though everything he ate sounded pretty safe--but unless he had a flu come on that quickly, I dont see what else it could have been. I kept getting him water to keep hydrated and gave him a few pepto pills to take hoping it would allow him to get some rest at least--nope! It was hopeless--100% restless night for both of us. I can't sleep when he's sick because I worry too much, so I stayed up and rubbed his back and kept checking his temperature and whatnot. He was having pretty severe stomach pains too so I kept trying to convince him to let me take him to the hospital. Finally around 3am his stomach settled enough to allow him to fall asleep. So I got about 2 hours of sleep anyways lol..I woke up this morning, felt his forehead and woke him up to make sure he would be ok if I left for work--he said yes and that he just really needed sleep, so off I went! Hope he feels better soon :)!
I think tonight I will do some online shopping :) I need some more winter clothes, I need to order the rug I found for the nursery and this cute little book holder thing that I want to put beside the chair and this weekend I will likely go out and buy some more clothes--I just need to make sure I have warm clothes/coats, etc for baby when he comes home from the hospital or taking him around wherever I need to go for the first few months! Also going to start looking around for new winter tires for my new car now since the other ones went with the monte! ...There is so much to do on my "to-do" list, I am starting to feel overwhelmed! PLUS, I really have to take Christmas gifts seriously--September is going quick and my goal was to have it all done by October! eeek!!
Saturday, Tyler is playing at the Richmond fair, but I am undecided if I will go--depends on the weather and whatnot! It would be nice to get out to a fair this year, but at the same time, there is so many other things I could be doing as well around the house and everything, so we'll see!
I can't say I'm sad to see the 40 degree temperatures go, but I will also admit this 5 degrees in the morning is a bit too chilly! I would like around 22 degrees all the time...is that too much to ask? lol...I am looking forward to sweater weather, hot chocolate, turning the heat on and getting cozy in the house, opening the windows and having crisp, fresh breezes running through the house, fall cleaning, the smell of more savoury scents in the house, comfort food, etc---sad to see the warm sunshine and sitting out on the patio days come to an end though :( Definitely NOT looking forward to scraping windows and brushing off snow from the car, slippery roads, finding out your new boots leak (lol), feeling like my nose will fall off it's so cold out, etc--but bring on the christmas tree/music!! lol
Anyways--so random..not much else to talk about though! So everyone have a wonderful Tuesday full of love and appreciation of life! :)
