• Because I Need Some ME Time

    I have to admit that this has been a REALLY hard week for me.  I am on edge, cranky and just plain exhausted.  I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a week and it is wearing on me.

    I was planning on going to a baby shower this afternoon, but it turns out that we may all have some type of streptococcal thingy (obviously, I am not in the medical field) as we recently came in contact with a child who has had and may again have scarlet fever.  The sore throats, Punky’s fever and rashes on the kids worried the after hours doctor at my pediatrician’s office; so the kids will be going to the doctor first thing in the morning.

    My hubby has also come down with it and will be going to see his doctor tomorrow as well.

    I called my midwife, and she immediately prescriped antibiotics for me- having strep and being pregnant is never a good thing.

    Spunky is napping.  Daddy is resting.  Punky has his usual crazy amount of energy.  And all I want to do right now is sit.  So I am going to do it, and to fill my time is something fun I saw over on Lora’s blog:
