Sick of Being Sick

Well the flu bug has bit me this time. I have been sick since Monday. There isn't a place on my body that doesn't hurt. Even the hair on my legs hurt. I worked on Monday and got up Tuesday and felt like I was dying. Went to the Dr. and got some meds. Ten pills cost me $50.00!! And that was with a drug card. I had to wait for 3 1/2 hours to see the dr. He said he had seen over 70 people that day. All with the flu or a virus similar to the flu. What do people without insurance do about being sick? Most people don't qualify for government help unless you have 5 kids by 5 different daddys. Anyway I feel a little better now. We had a little bit of freezing rain and sleet in North Alabama this morning. You would have thought that we were having a major winter storm. Wrecks everywhere because people wouldn't slow down or just stay off the bridges. And then they pre-empted The Young and The Restless for weather up-dates. Now get real people. After lunch everything melted off. No need to rearrange the tv shows. And just when I was waiting to see if Lauren would shoot Phyllis or Sheila. They look just alike since...........well you can tell I have been sick this week. But I will watch it tonight on the soap opera network. Really hated to see where Anna Nicole Smith died. I got tired of seeing her or hearing about her but she really died to soon. She was a very pretty girl who had a very dramatic life. Maybe she brought part of it on herself but she still had most of her life ahead of her.

NOT JUST FOR BOYS ANYMORE

My best friend Melody has a daughter named Devin. She races 4-wheelers. And I mean she races. We went Saturday nite to watch her. It was an indoor race. When you walk in and see the track you think "How can they race on that without killing someone?". They manage somehow. This girl can outrace the boys easily. She is well known in the racing group. Partly because she is a girl racing a 4-wheeler. But mostly because she can beat the boys. And the guys really respect her. I enjoy watching her race. My kid would love to try it. I don't have the money or nerve to put her out there. I video her races and Britt and I take pics for her. We have made her a pretty good collection. She has so many trophies and placques she has no where to hang them anymore. Her room is full and now they are going down the hall and in her bathroom. She was signing up for a race and a man with his little girl ask her was she going to race in the womens class (beginners). The man behind them looked at them and asked him "You don't know who this is do you?"
Don't you love it!! Her nickname is Smokey. My Britt thinks she is one of the coolest girls there is. You know, I think she is right.
