SUPER BOWL SUNDAY & GIVEAWAY'S

Good Sunday Mornin' Yall,

I do hope that everyone has had a great weekend so far and ready to start a new day. It is currently 38 degrees with a windchill of 34 degrees. The winds are currently out of the Northeast at 5 mph. I think there may be some Fog outside as well. It is suppose to be a cloudy day with rain moving in later tonight. We even have a chance for some Severe Thunderstorms Monday night into Tuesday. Yesterday was a beautiful day. The Sun was shining and it got up to 55 degrees here. It was a little windy, but nothing too bad. Just enough to make the temperature feel a tad bit chilly.

My DH finally made it home Friday night around 7:00p.m. I was so glad to see him. As I told on my Friday's post they had to shut down up in Illinois because they couldn't see the roads. Well, around noon, my DH called to let me know that they had just made it thru St. Louis, MO. Then, around 2:30p.m. he called to let me know that they had just gone thru Cap Girarduea, MO. He did say that the load in Memphis was ready and they were going to go ahead and go to Memphis to pick it up. He said the further South they came, the better the roads were and there wasn't much Snow. I sure hope this week is alot better on them than this past week was. Since they picked up that load Friday, they won't be leaving till 5:00a.m. this morning. I got up around 2:45a.m. and started some coffee. My DH had requested last night that he would like to have some Bacon and Cheese Sandwiches for his breakfast this morning. So, I fried some Bacon and made him 2 Sandwiches. He is drinking some coffee now and will start getting ready in a little while.

As you noticed, I didn't post yesterday. Friday afternoon when our girls came home from School, our youngest daughter wasn't feeling too good. Both girls were staying all night with my Sister on Friday night. She came and picked the girls up around 4:15p.m. on Friday afternoon and she said she had to stop by the Dollar Store. I didn't know she was going to stop here at the Dollar Store here where we live. They have a Dollar Store in my hometown where she lives so I was just assuming she would be stopping there. Anyway, I had to go to the Dollar Store as well to get my DH some minutes for his phone. When I got up there and was walking in, I saw my Sister and our oldest daughter standing at the Cash Register waiting to be checked out. I asked where our youngest daughter was at and they said she was in the bathroom. A few minutes later, she came out and said she had thrown up. My Sister asked her if she needed to stay home and she said no. So, both girls went ahead and went home with my Sister. After I had run the errands that I had to run, I came back home. I was so sleepy and I had layed down on the couch and waiting for DH to get home. About 5:30p.m. I started getting hungry. I went up to Backwood's BBQ and got me a BBQ Sandwich and some Tater Tots. While I was eating, our oldest daughter called and said our youngest daughter had been throwing up some more and that I needed to come and get her. I had called DH to see if he wanted anything for his supper and he wanted some BBQ Ribs and Slaw. I hurried and finished eating and got DH his supper to bring home and I dropped them off here at the house. I went and got our youngest daughter and I had taken a syringe with some Phynagrin to let her rub on her wrist for her nauseau. When we got home, DH had just gotten home and our youngest daughter went to lay down. I had to go and buy her some Sprite and get some more Saltine Crackers. She hadn't had anything to eat since lunch at School. While I was gone, she had thrown up some more. When I got back, I gave her some more of the Phynagrin to rub on her wrist. She finally went to sleep. She had a bad night which caused me not to sleep good. But that's okay because it's my job to take care of her when she is sick. I kept checking her temperature from time to time because she felt a little warm at times, but she never had any fever. She was just so restless. It was like she was in and out of a Coma for a good while. Finally around 3:00a.m. she went to sleep and slept good. I didn't get up till around 9:00a.m. Saturday morning. She got up a little after that and ate a few crackers and drunk some Sprite. I had also made some Sprite Cicles for her to eat on as well. She ate part of one and then went and layed back down. She layed around off and on all day. Finally in the middle of the afternoon, I asked her if she wanted me to fix her some Potato Soup and she said yes. So, I fixed a small pot of Potato Soup and gave her a little of it and she ate it and was able to keep it down. Later on she had some more of it and was able to keep it down as well. I had fixed me a bowl of some of the Soup for my supper and DH ate a can of Sirloin Beef Vegetable Soup for his supper. Our oldest daughter fixed her a microwavable beef-a-roni for her supper. I went to bed around 6:30p.m. and fell asleep, but our youngest daughter woke me up around 8:30p.m. playing with my hair. I can't stand anyone playing with my hair because I am tender headed. I got back up for a while and finally went back to sleep around 11:00p.m. I had had one of my headaches yesterday as well and I wasn't feeling that good myself. I did visit a few of you while I had a chance to yesterday. "THANK YOU" to all who I left comments to and praying for our youngest daughter. I really do appreciate it very much. Before she went to sleep last night, she did eat a couple of donuts that my Parents had sent up here yesterday and she seemed to be feeling better. She did complain with a headache yesterday as well. I gave her some Children's Ibuprofren before she went to bed last night. Hopefully today she will be all better and will be able to go to School tomorrow. I had heard Friday night while I was at the Dollar Store that this kind of stuff was going around. I sure hope our oldest daughter and none of us get it. The girls did tell me this last week tho that there were several students and teachers out with sickness. Usually in School all kinds of things go around and kids are easy to get stuff like that. But, I guess it's that time of the year for these things tho.

I would like to tell yall about some Giveaways. It's called the One World-One Heart Event.

I was over visiting Pea@ http://peascorner.blogspot.com/ Friday and she was telling about this. Here is some information that Pea gave about this Event.

What IS ONE World-ONE Heart?It is a blog-wide giveaway event. The original idea behind this was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. Last years event had nearly 100 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.Lisa at Heart of the Nest is once again hosting the One World One Heart event.

Well, today is the big day. It's Super Bowl Sunday. Now, I'm not a big Football Fan myself and probably won't be watching the big game, but I'm sure many of you will be watching the big game.

This is a picture that I borrowed from MSN. All I know is that the New England Patriots are playing. LOL. Told yall I don't watch College Football. I do hope that everyone who will be watching the big game to have a good time and enjoy yourselves. I know there will be lot's of good food to be had during the big game. So, if your having something good, be sure to eat a bit for me. LOL.

Guess I'll go for now. My DH is about to leave here in a bit and I need to see him off. Yall take care my friends and have a Blessed Sunday. May God Bless Each and Everyone of you.

LOVE & HUGS,
