I have a cold. I'm 99% sure Cole gave it to me, which means he loses some of his awesomeness. For whatever reason, in the last year or so whenever I get a cold it isn't just a cold. It's a COLD. Remember my last year and my 2 blown ear drums? I do. (How could I forget?) So my ENT (because I have one now) said that any time I get a cold with lots of congestion I should just go for the heavy over-the-counter stuff. I don't really like the heavy over-the-counter stuff because it makes me loopy, but that's better than blown ear drums with heavy meds and antibiotics that make me nauseous. Lesser of two evils and all.
So I'm at the Wal-Mart pharmacy this morning and I ask the pharmacist what she recommends. And good heavens, trying to by Sudafed over the counter is like buying uranium or something. I was pretty much given the 3rd degree and had to sign my 1st born away. (And given his latest antics with homework, I'm okay with that.) Seriously, do I really look like a meth addict, in my blue polo shirt, mom jeans, polka dot purse, and two little kids in the cart?
Apparently I do.
I blame "Breaking Bad". I must have a Walter White look about me.

Last week my friend Carri let me pick a ton of apples from her tree. I canned 18 quarts of applesauce today and I still have a rather large laundry basket full of apples.
I am tired.
And the thought of all those other apples makes me tired
And the fact that 2 of my quarts didn't seal properly makes me mad. Not because it'll go to waste - my kids'll eat it in a heartbeat. But it's the principle of the matter.

I forgot to mention that I have been released as the 2nd counselor in YW and am now the 2nd counselor in Relief Society. I really miss being with those cute girls, but there's something extra great about being with the women in RS. I love it. It's a bit overwhelming and a bit tiring, but when I feel that way I just remind myself that I could be RS president, and then I'm not so tired anymore.
