Photo Project 12-22-09
Okay so I've been kinda scattered with this whole photo project thing...but I've been sick, so I'm using that as an excuse. Finally went to the doctor yesterday and was diagnosed with what they originally thought was strep - but ended up being "just a really nasty sore throat and some laryngitis (or however you spell that)"...which of course made me feel like kind of a schmuck for going to the doctor in the first place. But he hooked me up with some killer steroids that knocked out my sore throat and now I'm stuck with the "sexy phlegm" voice which comes and goes. This morning I was whispering, but now I just sound like a heavy smoker.
I snapped this picture this morning when my friend Kelli and her daughter Addison met up with Adam and I at a local coffee house that happens to have a big ole playyard in the back, which was awesome because we could sit and chat and our kids were running around having a ball and burning off energy together. It's great to be able to let the kids do that and still be able to have our coffee and chatty time out of the house and in the fresh air. Although it was kinda chilly today, even if it was sunny and pretty out. Here are some other pictures I snapped from this morning...

Yup, now I'm worried....
This is my favorite picture of today...probably the best one I've captured of them together - so stinking cute!

Since we were out of town and been sick and all that, we've really lagged on Christmas decorations this year. I mean, I suck at this part anyway - but we usually at least have a decorated tree. So today, we finally headed out and got a tree, a small one to be put on a table since hub's mom tree was half nekkid after our visit. The boy is a mischievous little thing! 
I also got a bit more creative this year and instead of just pasting Christmas cards on the fridge, I made a little decorative wall ribbon thing that I can clip them onto. (and check out that engagement picture on the wall, back when hubs had hair and I was... smaller)
We get a bunch of hand-me-downs from our friends who have a little boy about 9 months older that Adam, and there's always alot of cute stuff in there - but these striped jammies take the cake with me. Stinking adorable I say...it's starting to look more like Christmas around here!

For those of you who don't recognize her, this is Debbie Reynolds...
Hubs actually met her recently when he did a delivery to her place...a local dwelling where she keeps alot of memoribilia, and where her son lives. He walked in and saw a big model of the Titanic, and a sign that said "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" and he went on and on to the secretary about how he has many childhood memories of watching that movie on the couch with his mom and sister. Lo and behold, Ms. Debbie Reynolds herself was standing behind him as he was telling the story, so he turned around and was pretty dumbfounded that she was actually standing right there. They gave him two signed pictures before he left and he gave one to his mom for Christmas.
She's not the only famous person he's met either, he's also delivered to Josh Brolin and Diane Lane...and Ted Levine (the famous "tuck and pose" guy from Silence of the Lambs - ew). I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting. Maybe hubs will chime in on the comments :)

Yesterday sucked...there's just no other way to say it. Wednesday night I started to get a sore throat, which periodically got worse and worse and by nightfall, I was sucking down chloroseptic and drinking tea with honey to try and fend off the pain. Yesterday morning I woke up feeling just awful...I reluctantly turned on PBS for Adam and let him spend WAAAY too much time watching tv, but at the time, I really didn't care because I didn't want to move. I had a mild fever, so I was all shivery - my bones actually ached, and still a horrible sore throat. I just wanted to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over my head.
BUT as any of you mothers out there know...you still have to suck it up and take care of the kid. TV only interests Adam for so long - so I was counting the minutes until naptime. Only, of course - even though he was yawning and rubbing his eyes...when naptime came, he decided to stand up in his crib and scream instead. Scream to the point of puking. Awesome. Doesn't happen very often anymore - but once in a while when he wants to manipulate us, he still pulls the throwing up card.
So I cleaned him up - changed the sheets...scrubbed the carpet - and put him right back in there for naptime. At this point, it was almost 2pm and he usually is ready for a nap at 1pm. So of course he cried about being put down again - even though while I was cleaning the mess, he was laying on one of his pillows on the floor...acting like he could fall asleep. But NOOOOO - apparantly putting him in the crib was evil or something. He cried, but I left him in there thinking to myself "well, he just threw up, so he should be okay to cry it out for a while" but then I heard that same ole cough, cough, GAG sound and ran in there to find him throwing up again...and who knew that much could come out of a kid so small??? This time, he nailed all his pillows in the process. Ay-yi-yi. Let that be a lesson to me...even when I think he's on empty - there will always be more!
SO I stripped the kid, stripped the bed...added to my previous pile of puke laundry, now grown to mass proportions...and proceeded once again with the cleaning. I don't care how many times I've done that - it's still gross.
By this time, it was almost 3pm - and I was thinking he might skip a nap altogether which sucked because I was counting on him sleeping so I could lay on the couch and rest.
After cleaning everything up, I put him back in his crib and he rolled around for quite a while - finally falling asleep at 3:30pm.
Which is when I grabbed my phone (cause I still have to answer my work phones - grrr) and headed for the couch with a soft fuzzy blanket.
Luckily, the phones were slow and I was able to catch some zzzz's. At one point, my boss called and said he was back home, so he took over the phones for me. Thankyajesus.
I haven't felt like that in SO LONG...I was amazed and how wiped out I was. I've had some pretty nasty colds, but I'm still able to function - this time, all I wanted to do was sleep. The only thing I ate all day was some frozen yogurt...I forced myself to drink tons of emergen-c and kept sucking on cough drops. I literally went to bed right after Adam did last night...and man, did it feel good to crawl into bed!
Adam woke up early this morning, and it took me a while to wake up and snap out of it - but I feel SO MUCH BETTER. Amazing what good sleep will do...and maybe I'm wrong, but I swear that emergen-c stuff usually does a good job of kicking the crap out of whatever I'm fighting. I'm not back to 100%, but I'm so much better than yesterday - and SO THANKFUL. Not sure what it was, but keep your fingers crossed that the boy doesn't get it!

CAUGHT...standing and jumping on the chair. And when I said "what are you doing???" he shrieked "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy". Hubs denies any allowance of chair jumping, hmmmm.
