I stayed home...all day. Why? mumps. day #6. face is getting less fat, less like Gwen Paltrow on Shallow Hal. Dry mouth is eminent. I drink and pee a lot. My bed has become where I eat, sleep, and watch lots of Lost. I am trying to catch up with my husband who watched up to season 4 all of a year and a half ago. I've seen bits and pieces of episodes. I'm really just trying to fit puzzle pieces together. I'm on the second season now, and I already started to get restless. It's not that Lost isn't fantastic, because it is, but... I've been home, resting for 4.5 days now. I'm starting to notice things in the house, like.... why is it that bugs always like to hover over you in the shower in that one specific corner... today it was just a mosquito eater, but nonetheless, it freaked me out. They always do.Todd is going thru beemp3 to find specific songs. We were enjoying flashbacks to our pubescent years when life seemed so hard, and no one knew how you felt except for Steven Patrick Morrissey, and the Smiths. Back to the mumps. How did I get them? no idea. could've been anywhere, 4h's family night outs, the demolition derby, education week, who knows. Why did I get them? God only knows, and I am sure he planned it somehow too for my benefit, in some strange twisted humorous way.
So, it was my parent's 35th anniversary, and I wake up with a fat face. Not good for the planned family pictures up in the canyons. But good for lowering high expectations from my sweet mom, who is a romantic. I get that trait from her. I think God was saying, "okay, Autumn , you played a major part for making your sister's wedding happen, helped with your cousins reception, hosted your sister in law's baby shower, helped your baby sister with her baby shower, come up with a ton of summer club activities, and 4h events, and now you want to have the perfect anniversary party for your parents, just chillax." and since i know you won't, I'll make it happen."and so... he did. I will admit, originally, I thought, brilliant. now, I'm ready to see the sun,but it's been good. I've been able to catch up on my data entry for work. House is a complete mess, and I missed the first week of school, but I'm happy sitting next to my hubby, and getting occassional phone calls from loved ones wishing me well:)
