Illness and Awards

Interesting combo, huh? I'm so behind on lots of things that I need to get done because I was totally out of commission this past week. I started with a cough on Monday. I woke up Tuesday with no voice and not feeling well but decided to go to work anyway. Bad decision. I ended up driving myself to the hospital after leaving work because I felt like I was going to pass out and didn't feel right. Being pregnant, I wanted to make sure my blood pressure was alright. It was, but my lungs didn't sound so good so they got a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. No pneumonia, but an acute bronchitis and sinus infection. I had to get a breathing treatment and then they sent me home. I was completely useless Wednesday and Thursday. Friday I felt better through the day and today I feel much better. I haven't been that sick in long time. I had a headache for 4 days straight and couldn't take any good drugs.

I've had several awards passed to me and wanted to express my appreciation and pass them on to others.

The first is the Lemonade Award. It was passed to me by the Garden Gnome at Mom's Cafe Home Cooking. I love her blog. She's got great recipes and tips for the kitchen. Please take a look around her blog. You're sure to find some useful information.

I also received several awards from Duni at Lovely Purses. She hails from Germany and her blog is really cute. She's too sweet and passed the following awards along to me:







I'm just going to pick out a couple of blogs to pass these last three on to because this post is getting a little lengthy to say the least.

1. The Story of a Princess and Her Hair gives me inspiration that maybe I can do more than put a ponytail in my daughter's hair.
2. Madre Gear has great posts about lots of products out there these days for out little ones.
