Fire-engine Red

I just want to start off by saying that I feel like a lobster... My daughter had a birthday party to go to yesterday and it was loads of fun for her jumping on the bounce around and blowing bubbles, but us parents just sat out in the lawnchairs in the sun for 2 hours. I didn't feel any pain or burn while I was there but once I got in some shade and home, the burn was on. I am normally white as a ghost and have olive complexion so I'm sure that help contribute to my lobster-like sunburn. You can see the distinct line as my upper thigh is white as a sheet of paper and my lower thigh down is fire-engine red. Even my feet are burned and you can see my flip-flop shape.

What was I thinking? I guess I wasn't, we don't own sunscreen anymore because we don't have a pool and we never go to the lake or anywhere that requires it. Sleeping last night was the worst. If I could of slept on my back it would of made it easier because they really wouldn't have to touch much... but with the pregnancy, that is a no-no because it compresses the aorta and doesn't give you or the baby much blood flow, hence less O2. So I had to alternate from side to side because I get so stuffy I have to turn to relieve some of it and help me breathe. Once I was actually bearably comfy, I realized I couldn't breathe and once again the pain emerged when I had to switch sides again. The worst part is when the 2 hot legs touched each other. It is so hard to keep my thunder thighs from touching :) When I got up in the morning, I was in for another surprise. I couldn't hardly walk. My legs were so stiff and hurting down deep it actually felt like it burnt my muscles. As much as I wanted to call in from work, I pushed myself to not only get myself ready but to do the same for my daughter who is always slacking in the morning.

Do you remember what it is like to shower or bathe with a sunburn? It's HELL! My hubby and I shower together every morning to not only save water but to save time. I knew that couldn't happen this morning because he takes HOT HOT showers. Just thinking about it makes me hurt, OUCH! So I took a lonely shower last night and had it lukewarm or cooler. It was still too warm for my burns but too cold to almost stand it. The worst thing about taking a shower the night before is my hair is wild in the morning. That is another obstacle I had to tackle this morning, my wild short mane. Took me longer than usual.

I just want to say one last thing to everyone... don't be foolish like me, USE SUNSCREEN!

Queesy morning...

I was out of commission all day yesterday due to a sick child. I didn't even go to work. Evidently she has something viral that has been going around. She came home from school on Wednesday emotional and with a fever. She started throwing up in the middle of the night and spiked a fever of 103.4 which was hard to get down. Needless to say she proceeded to keep throwing up yesterday and even spiked a fever higher than that of 103.8 When I called the doctors office yesterday morning they said something viral has been going around and there was no need to bring her in. Just to give her some gatorade G2 since it has less sugar and they would call her in a prescription for vomiting (Zofran). The Zofran definitely helped and she never threw up after that. She has had a slight fever last night but it cleared up on it's own. I still kept her out of school today so she wouldn't risk getting any of the other kids sick... even though one of them evidently came to school and got her sick.

I just want to say I'm not feeling too well myself this morning. I'm sitting here at work waiting to leave for my OB appt. at 9 and I'm feeling a little queesy myself. I hope I don't get what she had.

MY NEW BLOG

I awoke this morning and had a great surprise waiting for me... My new blog design is finally done and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I just want to say thanks to Sweet Cheeky Designs for giving me a blog make-over and being so very patient with me and my crazy life and undecidedness.... the finished product was so worth the wait if I say so myself.

If you want a new blog look check out Traci @ Sweet Cheeky Designs. She will be more than willing to arrange that. I also have her button to the side of the blog. Feel free to check her out anytime.

Monday Morning Madness

Here's my two cents regarding my Monday Morning Madness... Just a few funny things that I seen this morning.

1. On my way to work I found myself snickering like a immature teenager... The truck next to me said HOLMES ERECTION Inc. I couldn't help but find that funny. Couldn't they somehow re-word Erection so it doesn't sound so perverted.

2. The next I was browsing Yahoo and it was talking about the Best and Worst paying jobs in US... #12 best paying jobs is for Psychiatrists and the best paid ones are in Nevada... I can only guess why. There are so many people living in or around Sin City Las Vegas that they go in debt or their husbands are cheating with hookers... I mean it is legal there after all. Who wouldn't be depressed and seeking medical help with all that going on?

Just my 2 cents...

Check out my new tattoo

I forgot to mention what I had to do today to make my daughter happy... She is a tattoo junkie, every couple of days she wants us to put a new washable tattoo on. Well she wanted both of us to have one today. I decided to put it on my belly as you can see. That probably wasn't the best idea though because it was all intact as I was sitting but once I stood up I guess my belly skin stretched to accomidate and now it has cracks all through it. The things mommys will do for their kids :)

My Mother's Day...

These top two pictures are from today... MOTHER'S DAY! Me and my baby girl... She actually acts like she loves me for once.... usually she is always saying she's mad at me and I can't come to her birthday party... She's definitely my drama queen.

This picture is me and my self portrait in the bathroom yesterday... I'm 16 weeks now. I really have a belly though, I was the same way with my daughter too... By 12 weeks I was showing and 16 weeks I really popped out. I know this is the first picture I have posted and I will continue to keep up with taking them and posting them. I try to take one every week to monitor my growth and document my pregnancy. I have been taking them every week until now but I always looked bad in the pictures, no make up, hair a mess... you know weekend look!

HOPE EVERYONE ELSE'S MOTHER'S DAY WENT AS GOOD AS MINE... we ate at Chili's and then went bowling and played some games...

Blessed

I am so excited today... Today seems to be full of good news. First of all, I got an email from Traci at Sweet Cheeky Designs who was going to design my blog... I won a free blog design awhile back. She stayed up working on it last night and then sent me the test site... it's great and it suits me to a T... I can't wait to share it with everyone.

I then checked my Scentsy workstation and it shows that I am now a lead consultant. This means thanks to my downline meeting our group quota I will finally make a percentage off of their orders. This is really a great business... not only do I sell Great products and make alot off my sales, I can make a percentage too off my downline. I feel truely blessed at this moment with my business and my growing family.
