What the Friday?!

{Just a reminder:}

..and now on with the show...

They're all over my house.
They are driving Mojo insane.
They are hors d'oeuvres for LB.
They are:

Asian Lady Beetle Bugs.

what the friday?!

I just don't get why they have to invade homes!
My mom told me that putting a dryer sheet in the window will keep them away.
Last year, my bedroom was swarming with them, and so I put one in the window.. I don't have any in my room... Guess I'll have to put one in every window...
::sigh::
Just when I thought my house was over it's high class and fancy ways...


Jerk Face came home with a cold last week.
I thought LB and I were going to successfully resist it.
unfortunately, LB fell to it's demise about Tuesday-ish, and now I'm getting it.
{just in time for the weekend}
what the friday?!
{the only good thing is that it is the weekend, and Jerk Face will be the one getting up with LB}
{however, she always seems to sleep pretty well on the weekends.}
what the friday?!
(is it wrong that I want Jerk Face to get a little dose of what I go through?)

This Is How We Like To Spend Our Vacations...

I'm linking up with Kim today!

Hello Blog-o-verse!
I'm starting to feel a little better... I had my wisdom teeth pulled Friday.
Not a great way to spend your weekend.
And further more.. Not a great way to spend the end of a "vacation"...

I was drugged up for a while. I haven't taken anything since 3:30 this afternoon.. so my head is clear and I can try to write a post before the pain gets too awful again...
I did try to read and comment on your posts over the last few days. If I didn't leave a comment.. I'm sorry -- there's a chance I fell asleep. If I did leave a comment.. I'm sorry -- there's a chance it doesn't make sense.. or it was 1/2 hearted or something like that.

As I mentioned above, this is the end of a "vacation". I use quotations, because Jerk Face and I didn't do anything. I wanted to get some painting done last weekend, and was off to a good start... until I decided to use a stencil.

You should never think that you can stencil a room in one day.

I'll save all of that for another day.

I was working on my pantry, and although it is mostly done..

It's not complete.

And I want to show you all the finished product.

Aside from painting, we went to the zoo. 

LB's a few months older this time, and enjoyed the animals much more.

I didn't take any photos this time.

We just enjoyed it.

Our Zoo just had a baby elephant, and LB loved it!

She makes elephant sounds. 

I should try to find the video I took of her and post it on here.

I know I told my parents I would send it to them...

Sorry!

I never did, in case you were wondering...

We got our new front door on Wednesday.

That took forever for them to install!

The guy called and said they would be there between 1-2p.

A little after 2:30 they finally showed up, and were there until just about 5p.

So much for THAT day.

Thursday, we purchased some new outside lights 

(and a new pantry light - Jerk Face said that was my reward-

- he really knows how to treat me right, you know? HA!)

And that brings me to Friday.

(That is my blankie from when I was little -- I'm letting LB borrow it for a while... when I'm not using it, of course!)

I was on the couch ALL weekend.

I still feel like crap.

I think it's the oxycodone.

It makes me really nauseous. And drowsy.

I don't know why people would take that to get high.

It sucks. BAD.

This afternoon, I thought I would take Tylenol 3.

I was hoping I would be less drowsy...

yeah.

I just slept for 3 hours.

Jerk Face was jealous.

I'm sure he's jealous of my new diet for the week too:

Some of it looks good...

but I just want crunchy!

Jerk Face has been munching on tortilla chips and salsa!

What a jerk...face!!!

*smile*

Sorry this was a bit long and boring!

I hope to have better posts soon!!!

Sicko

My poor sweets!
Do you remember that I told you that LB was being extra fussy this past week? I wasn't sure if she was sick or teething... The symptoms of teething are:  'cold like symptoms'   ....How a useful!

She is not feeling well, but she'll STILL smile for the camera!

Well, by Sunday, I was pretty certain that it wasn't teething and that she was indeed sick.  Her nose was running nonstop, sneezing, coughing, she was tired all day - almost fell asleep in her eating chair!  And she was crying.. not just fussing anymore! She would only sleep when she was held.. Makes it a long night for mom! She was so congested! Jerk Face helped her by steaming up the bath room and hanging out in  there with her -- That really helped her! I felt like she could at least breath for a little while!
Monday morning, Jerk Face called the doctor and we got the only open appointment they had left! Thank Goodness!
Turns out, My Poor Tweets has RSV.  It's a very contagious respiratory virus. It can even cause pneumonia! ..but that's rare...
I was very happy with our Nurse Practitioner! Evangeline :)  She took her time with us and explained to me what RSV was -- -- -- because I'm a medical idiot! She prescribed a nebulizer to help her breathe.. We get to strap this mask to her face and have her breathe in medicine infused fog...  


It's not AS sad as it looks!  ..but it IS sad :(   

We had to take off the strap & hold it,
because she tries to eat it!

just checking it out 

Smiling for the camera :) 

I have to hold her still with this mask on for 10 minutes every 4 hours!  She doesn't mind it for a little while, I think she's fascinated by the smoke at first, but then she gets bored and want to put something in her mouth!!

Have you had to care for a sick baby? What did you do to try to help soothe baby?

She does really good, though... And I reward her with a girl scout cookie for me! :)  YAY! They came in!  I love the lemon cookies! Mmmm! 

What are your favorite GSCookies?  I think I will make that a new quiz -- It's on the sideline of my page! Take the time and vote!  :)
