The sick monster speaks..

Blogging while watching Ellen. 
It's a good morning. 

But, it's been kind of a crazy week.

This past friday, we took our kids to the vet.
What. A. Nightmare.
Seriously, how could these cute, sweet, adorable little faces...
Become such monsters!
It was so awful, the vet actually suggested that we "pre-medicate" next time.
As in drug them.
Yeah, that bad.
Minnie (yes, my 5 lb. baby) had to be muzzled, and they had to hold Emma down with a towel over her head. Awful.
But, at least they have their shots, and we don't have to do it again, for a year.
Thank goodness.

On a different note, my husband is an awesome handyman.
We have been wanting to put another counter in our kitchen, so I had more counter space. 
Because I have little to none. When I baked, I would use the stools of our breakfast table to mix on.
So, a few nights ago, Jamie put in our new counter! 
It's awesome, because we can use it like a bar as well, so we still have kitchen seating.
Yes, it's missing a stool in these pictures, I was using it as a table in the living room.

Also, he picked out our new washer and dryer, (because i work ALL the time) and he did a fabulous job. And, they came yesterday!
They are amazing and wonderful
They are high-efficiency, so good for the environment, and are practically twice as big as our old ones.
They have digital selection screens,
My dryer has a light in it, 
And it has lots of fun features, like spinning the washer once every hour to keep your clothes from mildewing if you can't get them out right away. 
Wonderful. Absolutely awesome.

On an crummy note, I have been sick.
Really really sick, again. I got a cold on Saturday night, and then yesterday, it was hideously awful.
My nose was running, I couldn't breathe, and it had moved into my eyes, so they were constantly running, and my nose was rudolph red, and painful.
And I still had to go in for a 9 hour shift. 
But, I was working so slow, and my boss, lord love him, came to help, and while he had good intentions, he added about 1 & 1/2 hours worth of things to do. 
It became an 11 hour shift. 
I was absolutely miserable. And then I got in trouble this morning by my other boss(ish), we're technically equals, but she has 4 years seniority, for having help come in.
Well great. Thanks for that.
Anyway, I didn't take a picture of myself, because it was hideous, but this is the sign I made for Jamie as I was falling asleep, hopped up on Nyquil.
We often make signs for each other, as we miss each other due to work, school, or sleep.
And yes, ladies and gentlemen. 
This is how I looked yesterday. At work, and at home.
It was so horrible.
But, today is a new day, and I slept for 12 hours, so I am feeling quite a bit better.
Thank goodness.

One last thing, I got my bridesmaid dress for Amanda's wedding!
It was a lot of fun.
She did what I did, picked color, length, and fabric, and then we picked the style. Here is the dress I picked!
I was the only one who picked a non-strapless dress. This is the sample, so it was a size to big, and was clipped in the back. 
Here is the dress in the right color, on the size 2 (barf) DB model.
I'm excited.

School starts next week.
Trying to enjoy my time as much as possible before that. 
Here we go.

  1. Your new counter is awesome-- props to Jamie! I'm blessed that Dan is quite handy that way too. The new washer/dryer looks sweet too. I'm sure you are loving it...one disadvantage about apartment living ours in the basement.

    I hope you get over your cold before starting back to school...being sick is never comes at a good time, but at least you can be through with it before student teaching. And hopefully the kids won't give you their germs too much (especially since they are 5/6 grade)! Where will you be teaching at?

    Also, you look better than the model in that dress--nice choice!
