Hi-ya!

Kiera and I found this adorable Bath Robe (we've had since our baby shower, and was too big) in her closet, she loved it and promptly named it her "Hi-ya!".

We tried to get video of it but our videocam was out of tape and had a dead battery. :(

Ho Ho Ho...Merry *cough, hack, snif, moan* Christmas?

Just when I thought we were over the sickies, from Dec. 14th to the 18th, with the stomach flu for Kiera and a huge head cold for me, leaving us bed-ridden for days, we find out on Christmas eve that she has pink eye! After a trip to the hospital for medicine and a diagnosis, we have a lovely, if not swollen Christmas day. Only to find out the next morning that I have woken up with a fever and body aches...will it never end?

I sucessfully manage to get dressed and in the car, no small feat, since I feel like death. Only to arrive 8 hours later at my grandmothers house feeling no better. Another day of fever and body aches, then another, until I finally feel a sore throat, to which I must go to the hospital again (on my VACATION!) to get a diagnosis of strep thraot and an antibiotic Rx. I feel a little better the next day, but manage to feel crappy until Dec. 31st, just in time to celebrate the new year with friends.

I have a few drinks and a good time at home laughing with friends and eating good food while playing a fun game before watching the ball drop and bring in the new year with health! Finally!!!

Ucky Sickness

Friday afternoon I was starting to feel run down and yucky, but I had x-mas shopping to do, so I sucked it up and got it done. G&G DePew picked up Kiera from daycare so she could see them for the first time since they went on their 10 week trip across the country with Ford Racing. We picked Kiera up on the way home, with her presents hidden in the trunk, and went straight to bed.

We decided to stay home Saturday, plus I wasn't feeling that great, but we had lots of baking to get done. I had purchased a Gingerbread House Kit, and Kiera and I had a great time putting it together. Then I started baking Christmas Wreath Cookies, after dinner. While I was forming them into wreaths, Kiera puked all over the living room floor...YUCK!

That night, Jeremy decided to sleep on the floor next to Kiera's bed in case she had to puke again. Which she did, again and again and again, but with big gaps in between...7pm on Saturday, 9 am on Sunday, 3am on Monday, 9 am on Monday, 7pm on Monday, and again at 9 am on Tuesday!!!!

Now back to me...I got really sick too with a severe cold. Headache, congestion, aches, cough, and sore throat, not to mention that wonderful run down feeling that makes you feel useless. All this while cleaning up buckets and buckets of puke...UUGGHHH

I'm not certain yet, but I think Kiera and I are on the mend finally...time will tell.

Hope you and yours are healthy and happy!
