Having a cold...just plain sucks !

It's not Netflix...

I knew this was coming on...this cold. You might find it odd...like I do but if I sneeze like 3 times or less...it's a cold. If I sneeze 3+ times...it's allergies. So, last night I find out it's the cold. I am in my 24/7 air conditioned home as my children are downstairs causing destruction. I am upstairs in my room...texting friends, sending emails, watched a movie entitled " Fat Sick and Nearly Dead". Then I decide I need to count out box tops for education (because it requires no thought process what so ever) and blog a bit.

So, maybe this is where I got my cold ???

Yesterday, took the girls to Catch Air. I am talking another mother about my blog. She asks what I blog about. I tell her that lately it's been about Mubarak. She doesn't really know much about Mubarak. I just tell her that he is just one of many dictators walking the planet destroying people's lives. I also tell her I blog about what I do that day or things my kids do. I blog about being a sick anglophile. She gets the whole kids thing and does not get the whole being obsessed with all things English. Which is fine, because after all it's an illness or obsession and those things are not generally good to have. Unless, you are addicted to eating in moderation and exercising.

I think a fancy grey apron and a babushka on my head ...and I am set to go ! 

I also went to the neighbors house next door and had some chats about my plans for future travel and living in Georgia. It has been a few months of summer weather here...and I am miserable. Yes, I am quite miserable because I have a cold. It's the air conditioning and not being able to breath fresh air. It's having the windows open and the blinds and letting cold air in my lungs. I miss the cold air and fog of California. My neighbor asked if it was miserable...I don't think I ever got depressed about it. It eventually burned off into a summer day. So, if I could move where would I move ? Really ? When global warming just really takes off...where would I want to be ? I think that is why  I picked Canada. Geez....even the Russian Tundra might be good too.

Hi, my name is Gretchie...do you want to live here forever ?  I do...

We talked about London. Like should I stay or should I go ? I was talking to Rah about it. I told her...well most mothers do not leave their kids for long periods of time. Mothers are supposed to stay home and be miserable 24/7 until my kids turn 18 and I am what 78 ?? Like all of these stupid society written rules about parent travel.  There is nothing I can't stand more is someone telling me "Well, what you should do"....Rah Rah said " Now, Mom are you most mothers ?" I told her I was not most mothers. She thinks its perfectly fine if I am gone. It's just a matter of how long...? So, maybe I am 78 and I will regret traveling as much as I do, but for now I am not.
