"Oh goodness, is it Friday yet?"

That's the phrase of the week people. This coming Friday is a little more special than your typical Fridays. Friday, March 11, 2011 begins Mallori's first big-girl vacation. That's right, my first big-girl vacation. What is a big-girl vacation?

Sunday: a little more Funday than last week

Today is so much better. 
I got some very much needed needed sleep after getting sick yesterday.
After the game, I came home and passed out for about 4 hours. I then was up for about an hour to watch the beginning of the Duke-Virginia Tech game (which VT WON. Awesome.). Then I went back to sleep (around 9 ish) until 3:30 this morning.
Once I woke up at 3:30, I stayed awake for about half an hour and then slept until 6:45. I was awake from about 6:45-7:30. Then I crashed until 10:30 this morning.

Now the only thing I'm feeling is groggy from too much sleep and starving. Good thing Mimi (my grandma) made spaghetti for after church. There's a big steaming plate waiting for me at the table!

I will be returning to Norman this afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to all my classes this week except for the work out ones.

Happy Sunday everyone! It's Comment Love Sunday at FTLOB. Hop on over and find some new blogs to read!

No one REALLY likes sitting at home...

I think I'm trying to do too much too soon. But I promise I'm resting friends.

I'm sleeping a lot, the pain meds help that out.

But yesterday I had to go watch the baby brother play basketball. With my Christmas break being away from home, I only got to watch 2 or 3 games the entire season. And I don't get to come home very often because of money issues, and the fact that it's my senior year as well.

Since I am home and have nothing better to do, I went along with the rest of my family to watch Edith, MacKenzie, and Jacob play basketball. It's playoff season, and they're in the games to where if they lose, they're done for the season. Unfortunately, the twins (yes, Edith and MacKenzie are twins) lost their game. They should have had it, they went into the locker room at half time up by about 20 points and ended up losing by 10-11. It was sad. Kenzie and Edie came out crying, which I can understand but I also wanted them to remember that they have two more years before it is completely over.

Picture of the kids' mugs again

Jacob's team won by 8 points. They will be playing again today at 3. I want to be there for him because I wasn't there in football.

So with that being said, I will be going again today to watch the brother play basketball. I will probably be too tired again once I'm done, but at least the pain meds help me out.

And all you readers who are saying "Mal, get some rest!" I know. But I don't know what to do when I have nothing to do. I don't know how to rest 24/7. I promise though, I'm going to take the week off next week, no work out classes for me!

Plus, I want to be healthy for spring break that's coming up March 11. I've been planning on this trip for a couple years now.

I have been blessed with so much more than I deserve

Follow my blog with bloglovin

I have never denied that I am blessed beyond measure. I haven't always known of how blessed I am, but as I am getting older I understand and prize my blessings more and more each day.

With that being said, if you ever want to find out how many people care about you, have something happen to you like an emergency appendectomy.

The house mother and Josalyn were stressed out trying to get me to the hospital. The roommate was so upset when she found out I had appendicitis that she couldn't go back to sleep, and it was roughly 4 in the morning after she had passed out from being so exhausted. I can't tell you how many people have called, texted, and written on my facebook wall since I went to the hospital on Sunday night. Even people who I've only thought of as people who are a little more than acquaintances have checked in with me almost daily to see how I am doing.

However, along with that you also have people who ask about you publicly, I guess to show others that they "care," but have never tried to contact me personally. These are people who I know have my number and who I thought were my friends. I guess that's part of what comes with it.

I can say though, that for those of you that have been calling/texting/e-mailing/tweeting/facebooking/skyping me to check in on me are amazing. I am blessed beyond measure to have each of you as my friend!

And yes, that even includes some of you blogging friends, as I have been getting get-well e-mails from some of you! My readers/bloggy friends are just as amazing and bless my life just as much as my real-life friends. Thank you all so much!

mundane routines

So my days are like this:

Wake up to use the bathroom. Eat. Take meds. Sleep for HOURS.

The cycle never ends. The pain meds they gave me knock me on my butt, so I've put off taking them for a few hours today so I can try to catch up on e-mails and various things I need to do with school.

I am at home with my family, and will be staying here until the end of the weekend. I am not allowed to climb stairs, and when I'm at school I live on the second floor. Hopefully I will be able to return to semi-normalcy once Sunday rolls around so that I am able to get stuff done before spring break for school.

Thanks for all the encouragement and well wishes guys! Hope you are having a great week!
