for those days

when you're super crazy busy working, facebooking, blogging, photographing cans of baby formula, feeling deeply sorry for yourself and pretending  to "forget" that you're hosting dinner for your husband's boss and family and come down with a nasty case of procrastination. for those days...

i give you this:

borderline harassment

hey, so, guess what i got in the mail yesterday? as if all the recent spam "pregnancy updates" which, oh by the way are impossible to be removed from, aren't painful enough, yeah, why not mail me some infant baby formula?!

funk alert

so i've been trying to fight the "i was supposed to have a baby in three weeks" funk! but it's hard, everywhere I turn there are babies popping out, and while i'm so extremely happy and joyful for those babies popping out, i'm reminded, and well, that just sucks.

but this, too, shall pass, right?!

sick

last week adam came down with the horrific cold/flu bug going around and bless his little heart, gave it to me. monday morning i woke with a teeny tiny sore throat and rushed to the store to purchase zicam (because everyone tells me it works!). i was faithful, zicaming every three hours, for 48 hours and then some (for good measure ya know), and feeling certain i was going to beat the nasty bug.

that was until late this morning...

after tracking up to todd lake, in a dress, in like 25 degree weather, to get our christmas staff pictures taken. (i can't tell you the theme, you'll just have to wait, so don't ask, unless you beg and then i'll probably cave.) thankfully, the stop at the westside cafe for coffee helped warm our poor frozen fingers and toes before heading back to the office.

where was i? oh yeah! and now i'm sick(er). and now i'm home. and now i'm cozy by the fireplace. and now i'm resting.

p.s. zicam sucks.
