This week and weekend, I've battled this cough/cold, coupled with sporadic fever. For my birthday, Shawn and I had planned on going to The Melting Pot. Well, Shawn called to make sure they would have room for us but they were all booked. Obviously my birthday is a little too close to Valentine's Day (February 13th). So, we settled for Shogun, although I really wanted to branch away from being a creature of habit, hence the reason why I wanted Melting Pot so bad. I didn't think much about my cough/cold until I took my first bite of fried rice. I COULDN'T taste it at all....none of it...not the veggies, chicken, shrimp, etc. UGH! It was as if I had been popping zinc tablets to purposely loose my taste...it was pretty sad! Shawn even asked me if I wanted dessert and I even had to turn that down...if you know me, that doesn't happen very often. Saturday morning (Valentine's Day), I had UIL competition with my Editorial Writing students. They provided us with breakfast and lunch...still no sense of taste. Shawn wanted to take us out for a Valentine's dinner, but I sadly declined. We just stayed in and watched love movies all night long. I gave Shawn an Admiration Journal that I had been writing in for him. For two nights in a row, I quarantined myself to the couch so I wouldn't get anyone sick. So, all in all, the weekend has been a bummer. I don't really like to be a Debbie Downer so I'll start talking about some positive things:
-I'm thankful I've just had this small sickness and not the flu or some strange virus.
-I'm thankful my family is not sick and it was just me for the most part (Faith was constipated all day yesterday, probably because she ate too much junk at her V-Day party). This morning she said, "Mommy, my poop doesn't hurt anymore."
-In Editorial Writing for the District UIL competition we landed the first place spot-I'm so proud of my students!
-We are going to the Melting Pot for Shawn's birthday next month and I plan on tasting every bite of fondue!
Here are some pics from Friday and Saturday:
