So it’s been like 2 weeks since my last post. A lot of things have been going on!!!! First, Saturday two weeks ago, my kids and I were almost in an accident – could have flipped, but didnt. My car ended up basically sideways and Sam could almost reach out and touch the grass without moving. This picture doesnt do it justice. Everyone was fine! The kids were fine, the car was fine and I was fine!!!!
Off the road and almost flipped in the ditch!
Second, Curt and I went to see The Dark Knight! with Synitta and her nephew! We loved it!!!
Rest in Peace, Heath!
Thirdly, I am STILL working on the baby blanket for Carmon’s baby that is due just about any day now!!!!!! It will be beautiful when I get it finished!!!! But, damn, I only have so much time to knit and do everything else!!!
- Baby blanket for Carmon!
Fourth, I have been doing really well so far with The Body Shop at Home! I have had 3 parties and met a few of the goals as a new consultant so I am excited!
Fifth, work has been quite interesting as well! I am doing quite a few different things these days as well as possibly getting a promotion into a completely new role for me!!!! I will keep you posted on that one!
Sixth, Big Brother 10 has started! I watch it faithfully three night a week although it has been quite boring other than two of the house guests who are banging each other constantly!!!! (The video link shows them in the house but all you see are movements and hear them. Nothing graphic.)
Seventh, Isabelle has been sick – mostly congestion and coughing. I took her to the doctor and they said – she doenst have bronchitis or asthma, but she did have some tightness in her check and some wheezing. So she had to do a breathing treatment Wednesday night. You would have thought we were trying to kill her!!! We finally got through it with a nurse holding her tight and me holding the mask to her face! What a nightmare! I am glad this is not a daily part of our life!!
Lastly, it is finally Friday! I stayed a bit late today because someone is with the kids so I dont have to run straight home. So, I opted to write a blog with an update on the past two weeks. Hopefully, I can sit by the pool some this weekend and finish my book and knit a little!!!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Well, I have been itching to knit for a while now since I put it down once I finished all of my Christmas projects. Either I have not had time, too tired or too sick. I finally was able to take a few minutes to cast on last night…I am going to knit a mindless pair of wrist warmers that won’t take up too many of my brain cells. I am basically making up a pattern as I go and I have no idea if it will look good or not but as least I have something on my needles. It sure if relaxing – as long as I dont have my almost 2 year old trying to run off with my ball of yarn!!!
As for the not breathing well ~~ I have been sick since the first week of January. I have had sinus infections, cough, chest congestion, etc. I have been on two antibiotics, 3 different rounds of cough medicine (the good stuff), a 5 day dose pack of steroids, a different blood pressure medicine (apparently the one I was on can cause a cough side effect – I dont think that is the problem) AND an inhaler that is doing nothing for the tightness in my chest or the wheezing or the truck sitting on my lungs!
I called my doc this morning – it will be about the 15th hundredth time I have talking to and/or seen him in the last 2 months. Hopefully today they will take a chest xray to see if anything is goign on in my chest since every time he listens to it is is clear. I know its not clear because I have proof when I cough up the nasty crap in my chest. His nurse of course made me feel better by saying — I hope its not pneumonia — but we’ll see when you come in today.
FUN FUN FUN!!!
That’s my update for 10 am today! More to follow – espeically if I end up with some crazy ass chest something or another!!
Ta ta for now!

Ok – for those of you who know me well – know that I have some serious nasal issues ~~ even after the nasal surgery (deviated septum) I had and the UPPP about 3 years ago! At least my snoring is gone! Anyway, I have been fighting a head cold, sinus infection, cough, chest cold and everything else that goes along with it for almost 2 weeks now. I have been taking an antibiotic and some GREAT cough medicine – but I am still blowing ~~ get your minds out of the gutter! Even though I am clearing up a bit, some folks at work (at different times) told me about SinuCleanse. This stuff if awesome! It sounds really gross when you first hear or see how it works. You mix this packet of stuff into lukewarm water in a neti pot. You put the end of the neti pot spout just inside one nostril, tilt your head to the opposite side and let the water mixture run through your sinus passages. Then you switch sides and do it again!
It sounds gross as hell, but damn if it is not working! I am still a bit stuffy – normal day for me – but the stuff is clearing out like crazy! I am going to keep this up daily!
If you have any sinus problems at all I definitely recommend this product! Now I just have to talk my husband into using it so he can get away from the Afrin that is killing his sinuses!
