sick and tired of being sick and tired

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't posted for a while. Well that's because a full blown sinus bug has taken over my head and is impairing me from making any cognizant thoughts. The only thing I can come up w/is to gripe about the situation which is going on a week, yes I know a week is nothing. Doctors wont even let you in the door until a full 14 days have passed at which point I will be in jail for the disappearance of my entire family. Not by my hand mind you, I'm pretty sure they're all ready to jump ship. The old saying "if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" definitely fits. When I was working full time if I had a cold/debilitating disease I could stay home w/husband at work and the kids in daycare and get some rest. Drink some tea, have some crackers and dream of a place w/o Kleenex and the chirping of the birds isn't a muffled question mark in my brain. Staying home presents a new situation. Laying down only invites being ridden like a rodeo bronco and any box of tissue is quickly turned into a craft project hopefully not including glue or staples. Taking any medication that would actually offer any relief is out of the question since I would probably take Elaina up on her demands to cut her apple and cheddar snack herself and that girl should never wield a chef's knife. ever. Play dates have been cancelled to stave off a full blown epidemic in my circle but the lack of outside communication leaves me even crabbier (if possible). Forced solitary confinement w/2 small children would break even the most harden criminal. Stop sending the nun's into the prisons send pre-schooler's!!!! Luckily I'm still cooking. yesterday 2 loaves of bread (3c bread flour, 2c whole wheat, 1tbl salt blended, heated: 2c milk, 6tbl butter, 1tbl honey to about 110-degrees then add 2 packets yeast to bloom. blend together, knead about 8 min let rise till double, turn out and shape into 2 loaf pans let rise again about an hour, bake 350 about 40 min.) and a killer meatloaf which I hadn't done for a while I made 3 loaves cooking 1 last night and now 2 are in the freezer! Don't have a real recipe per se for the meatloaf but ingredients are as follows (ground sirloin, ground pork sausage, onion, garlic, celery, carrot, 6in stalk rosemary removed after cooking, sauteed and added to meats, smoked paprika, eggs and bread crumbs) bake till done. serve w/mushroom gravy, accompanied by blue and gold roasted potato's and green beans from the garden!!! If only I could've had a glass of wine w/it, oh well maybe tonight.
