Thank goodness I'm at home and not at work so they can't make me stay!! (Am I traumatized??) I love looking out my windows and seeing the tall mounds of snow on the deck. I love having the fireplace going and sitting around in my jammies. I'm not sure whether to get on the treadmill today or not. I've come down with a UTI, and thought I could get out of calling the doctor by drinking cranberry juice all week. It worked until last night when I was up half the night in severe pain. I called the dr. exchange this morning and got an antibiotic. SO, I might wait until this evening and see if I'm feeling better before hopping on the treadmill. I did get a nice nap in since my mom took the girls to the library, out to breakfast and back to her house to make Valentine's. What a sweet grammie.
Today is the 4 month anniversary of Jennifer's passing :( I can't believe it's been 4 months already, yet it seems like forever... Whenever I think of her I tear up. Ok, more than tear up, I can downright bawl if no one is around. I wish things could have been different. I wish there was something more they could have done. She wasn't ready to give up. Just days before she passed, she held my hands, looked into my eyes and said she wasn't ready to go. She was afraid, and she wanted to fight. It haunts me.
My cousin, April, who is doing the 3 day walk with me is making some really CUTE things to sell to raise $$. She is making owls- for "Save the Hooters", and also fabric bookmark corners, which are really cute. If you are interested, e-mail me or comment below and I will hook you up. I think I need at least 3 of them, since I read 3 books at a time. Plus the girls are reading chapter books now, so they need one each.
My little Blackberry is getting kind of quiet with donation notices lately. If you can only do $10, that is great, it all adds up. I was thinking about making a t-shirt with all of my sponsors names on them. If you have a business, I could put your business name on it and a website or phone ##. There will be so many walkers and onlookers, I would make a great walking billboard!! I'm also walking for 3 days (therefore 3 t-shirts), so if you want to make a super-sized donation, I will design a shirt in honor of you, advertising your business. I'm already thinking about making a shirt in memory of Jennifer with her picture and name etc.
Have a great weekend!!
