Sick

How do you go from doing Zumba to being curled in the bed within 24 hours??


BP (low for me)90/60 - I have always had 120/80

Chills
Hot Flashes
Body Aches
Flushed cheeks/ skin
Burning Eyes
Swollen Right Gland
Hurts to Swallow
Fever

Doctor thinks its either Mono or Pharyngitis... Uhhh seriously Mono?? That was my first thought, but as I lie here with all the symptoms rushing over me , I believe it.

So I'm in the bed trying to let the antibiotic shot I was given work.

Why am I not sleeping right now you ask? Maybe because I can't when my body is on fire.

Why am I blogging you ask?? Well I am confined to our bedroom with no TV soo my iPhone will be my trusty companion during this time.

I'm finally starting to get hungry ... Is it ok to eat with a fever?

Oh and here are the silk curtains I made (ahem lined) 

                                                             

Do you see my IKEA acrylic chair sitting there all lonely? ... 

Yes a desk will go there one day.... hopefully soon ... *sigh*

I am going to sew tabs on the back of the panels but for now I did the faux pinch pleat trick as seen here. (She has a really great tutorial on sewing curtains)

I have plenty of things still left to do in this room but it has come along nicely!

Haircuts and Mustaches

How soon or often do your kids get haircuts? 

Brett is 17 months and had his hair cut for the first time this evening

(that's if you don't count me barely trimming his bangs) 

Boy that kid has some hair and I love it. 

Mallie had her bangs trimmed and her hair chopped off and I LOVE it. 

Once I found out that she won't need her hair to be in a bun for her recital this Sunday I immediately called my hair cutter lady?? ... hairdresser?... hairstylist?? whatever my friend. 

anywho.. 

I will leave you with Pedro... 

I mustache you a question...

But I'm shaving it for later...

Olé!
