Triad of Stupor

You know that you are sick when you are expelling more bodily fluids than the nursing home residents that you are working with. I finally drug my butt to the dr yesterday... yeah, I've got a lovely little cocktail of bronchitis, sinuitis, and run amuck allergies.To say this week that I feel like poo is an understatement, and the fact that I look like h*ll just tops everything off.

Yesterday I also had a yuck dr apt, blchhh. I go for an ultrasound today to see if there are any reasons to be found for my out of control aunt visiting, or anything that is keeping us from getting prego. Seriously, I'm ok w/ waiting for God, but I kind of imagine Him laughing his head off, asking me if Mikey isn't the equivalant of 2 children energy wise!?!?

We received our Bush Money last night, and I almost hit the floor when I saw the balance in our bank account! It hasn't looked that good ever in a looong time!We've already ordered replacement cavas for the camper from h*ll, but hmmm, what to use the rest on?!? What are you planning on spending yours on?

Hey Hey Hey

Ok, so I haven't had the mental energy lately to write anything remotely coherant... much less anything else. My house is more put together now and I'm functioning so much better, so here's to a new bloggy beginning :)

Some random things that I've thought about lately, just remember that you have been warned!!

~I secretly think that Avon and MaryKay are some secret sect of a obscure cult. Have you ever tried to get away from these ladies after purchasing something from them?

~I'm starting to do some really cool photography :) which makes me very happy!

~The Cherry trees, Magnolas, and Dogwoods are in the midst of their blooming extravaganza right now- beautiful.

~My office manager and I have been passing croup (yeah, that nasty beast that usually only kids get) back and forth to each other. Now that I'm out of the office on the road every stinkin day we are both getting better. Finally.

~I'm resigned to wearing capris and dresses this summer. My upper legs are not summer ready.at.all.

~My white legs could serve as a beacon in the dark. Some tanning bed therapy is in order.

~My hubby almost had a heart attack when I opted out of MommyWear for date night last week. I forgot how it felt to dress it up, and make him swoon.
~hmmmmm....when did my boobs get so lopsided?

~My best friend had a miscarriage earlier this month. I hope that I never have to deal with what she and her family are dealing with (and I hope that I won't have any more friends walking this path). I can not even imagine.

~Running out of gas stinks.

Is There an Amen in the House?

The Doc that I work w/ told me about what I missed on Idol Gives Back, and I couldn't believe it. But it's true, and it rocked. So, I have to post it here. Enjoy!! DISCLAIMER: I don't know why Ben Stiller's act was included in the clip, but it was-- so just turn your ears off after the music ends.



Whether it was done in sincerety or a publicity stunt, I really don't know nor do I really want to. Watching some of them actually worshiping blessed me tremendously, and hopefully it touched someone else... maybe someone who would never normally enter a church.

Prayer Needed

Please be in prayer for one of my closest friends. She and her family lost a baby (whom we had nicknamed 'Simey') today. She was in her second trimester, and already had a 'belly bump'. Please, Please keep them in your prayers.

WFMW! I'm Back :)

I thought that I had run out of ideas that really worked for me, so I've been on hiatus. Something simple that I've been doing has really been a lifesaver at times, so I wanted to share. If you already do this, you can shut up humor me ;). Just playing. Sort of!

You know those mini m&m's that come in a tube? Instead of throwing them away they make the perfect size crayon holder. I think that I have one in every purse, as well as each vehicle that we have. Each one holds 3-4 crayons, and keeps them nicely in one conveniant spot (and doesn't add splashes of color over everything that you own).

The crayons come in very handy in places like restaurants (our fave mexican joint has paper placemats, and one Italian Cafe has butcher paper on the table),at the DR's office (Mikey loves to color on the table paper), grocery lines, friends houses, etc...!

So that's my brillant tip for this week. For more (even better ideas) go visit the uber-real and hillarious Shannon!

I hate mornins!

Have you ever searched your house high and low for a while looking for your keys? Yeah, I just did. Finally I decided to just snag Hub's keys.... yeah guess where mine were. Locked in the vehicle. Great. I hope that this isn't an idication of how my day is going to go.

Blaahhh

So here's a quick update of the past week:
*Nieces and nephews got sick...pediatrician said the flu
*Mikey got sick... trip to pediatrician... dx: virus
*Got called home from Maunday Thursday... Mikey had temp of 103.5
*Left Good Friday services for trip to urgent care..dx:flu (did you know that they can actually test for this?)
*Saturday, sil got letter from County Health Dept... her daughter had salmonella which the pediatrician did not tell them... so probably not the flu had been going around, but salmonella in that household.
*Trip back to dr to get speciman bowl to test Mikey for Salmonella
*Trip to Dr for me for severe sinus infection and strep throat last night.
*Leaving for Tennessee today w/ in-laws.
