Right now I am in Tyler's bed typing this. I'm on his lap top. He has been really sick all week. When I took him to the doctor 2 days ago his fever was 103.7. This apparent urinary tract infection is kicking my ass. I have felt like complete shit all day. It finally started feeling like a UTI today. I guess maybe because I've been on Percocet all week I didn't feel as bad. I'm outta percs and now I feel like shit. I was supposed to work tonight, but they didn't need me. Maybe I need the rest. Easter was good for everyone else though. The kids had an easter egg and candy hunt at my mom's and we ate lunch there. They just played and got into trouble all day. I took a nap this afternoon. Royce put up his punching bag tonight in the garage. I'm glad the kids had fun today.

Everyone has just been so sick at our house this last week. We've all had it at varying strengths at various times throughout the week. Some worse than others. Tyler finally ate something. In fact he is still eating it - a burrito from Armandos. I'm really glad I have Royce. He's the kinda guy that will go out at night, or whenever, and get you something if you, or your kid in my case, isn't feeling well. He'll just stop what he's doing and go get us whatever we need. I'm lucky to have him.

I pierced my tongue yesterday. Wasn't as bad as I thought. But it has been sore since I did it. Having trouble eating. It looks so cool though. I keep playing with it in my mouth. I always thought they pierced things, like your tongue, with a gun like they do when they pierce your ears. Oh no, as I found out yesterday. They hold your tongue out with a pair of forceps and stick a 14 gauge needle right through it. It really doesn't feel as bad as it sounds though. Its really cool. I love it. Feeling better all the time.

Lately I haven't been thinking about the inner me. Its hard to do when you feel so rotten. This last week I've spent most of my time wanting to just crawl under the covers or taking care of everyone else, mostly Tyler. I just want to feel good again, and have everyone else feel good. I really want to concentrate on getting healthy but have felt so bad I can't even get out to exercise yet.

Nikki, how do I make you a friend on MySpace? I don't know how to do that. Help!!!!!

Deb, it was nice to hear you talk about Mr. Leukert. I would love to see him. He was like a father to me too. I have a feeling he was like I father to alot of people. I'm not sure he would want to see me after everything that has happened between Karl and I though. I hope that he is ok, and that everything goes ok with his back. If you do see him please tell him I said hi and that I hope he is ok. It makes me sad thinking about him. He meant so much to me. Please tell him I said hi.

I'm going to sign off. I'm cold and achy and tired.
