Vacation Time!

We are skipping town and getting away from it all for a few days. I desperately need a break. I'm sick of work, work and more work all the time. I haven't had more than a couple of days of vacation time off since last summer and it's getting to me. Winter is getting to me, too. Now I just need to win that Powerball and move to an island somewhere! Have a great weekend, I hope to be a better blogger next week.

How do they know?

I just took another one of those little online quizzes and I have to say for something no more than six questions long, it sure pegged me!

You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

What Temperment Are You?

Is there a doctor or a cleaning fairy in the house?

I guess I'm falling a little behind on this blogging thing. I have been so sick the past week I haven't felt like doing much of anything except watching TV, sleeping and sitting in front of this computer. So you would think I would manage to update, but if all you're doing is sleeping and watching TV, what is there to update?

My Scrap Addict "Secret Sweetie" had someone make me an awesome blog banner but do you think I'm smart enough to get it into my blog? Of course not. I don't feel up to fighting with it and/or trying to outsmart this thing, so it'll just have to wait a while longer. I'm getting to it, though, and I really do love it, gals!

This is the one month of the year it's good to work for the state of Missouri. Two three day weekends in a row. Ahhhhhh nice. :) I guess that's to get us ready for the two month haul with zero holidays coming up. Oh, but did I mention I love my boss? I had to miss Wednesday and Thursday because I was two shades from death. I went back Friday because they really needed me, but she sent me home an hour early and insisted I use sick time and not vacation time even though I felt OK at that point. I got home and had a major relapse. I hate the flu. So much for that flu shot I had last year.

And in other news....I really need the cleaning fairy to clean my house. I'm not up to it other than keeping up with laundry. (Even sick I have to have clean clothing!) John either fractured his foot or severely sprained it in an altercation at the high school last week, so he's not up to it, and the kids only work so well. Shona attempted to clean the bathroom floor for me by splashing half her bathwater out (but mom, there was a bug on the floor, I was trying to drown it!), so at least that part is finished. I'll take what I can get for now, but whoever is holding that cleaning fairy hostage...I'd sure like to borrow her for a while.
