i have

an infection in the bronchial tree. Lovely. I finally went to get checked out by a doctor, after keeping myself awake for nights coughing, and coughing and coughing {well, really I went to the doctor for Miss S's coughing - turns out she is fine, I am not}. I just have not been able to kick this bug and it is driving me crazy.

When I get a cough it always seems to linger, so I was given an inhaler to use and some seriously strong prescription cough medicine. I am looking forward to a wonderful drug induced sleep tonight...

I think the kiddies and I will be staying in, today. It seems like a good day to snuggle in and watch a Disney movie, and watch the snow fall on the trees in our new yard. I love our new view. It makes me feel like we are in a cottage in the woods, and it looks so pretty with all the snow.

One last thing, that I am thinking about today, is how another one of my favorite magazines is ceasing publication. Simple Scrapbooks. I find this so sad. Renee mentioned it to me when we were out for coffee the other day, and I couldn't believe it, but here is the official announcement.

I have been a subscriber for years now, and I look forward to getting each new issue in the mail. They are now going to combine Simple Scrapbooks with Creating Keepsakes {another scrapbooking magazine by the same publisher}, however they usually feature two different styles of scrapbooking, so I am not sure what the new magazine will be like... And what will I be reading soon if more of my favorite magazines can't survive this economy...???
