Insta-Friday: The sickness edition

We started the week of with a very early morning visit to the Emergency Room with Angry Kid.  My husband took the time to put on jeans and a t-shirt.  Of course, I was wearing my fancy pants, you know, Victoria’s Secret, and my chucks.

My wardrobe in the ER earlier this morning. Angry Kid is doing much better now. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone!

While I was home sick with the kid for three days….plus one extra for me, our family excelled in Draw Something.  Angry Husband was nice enough to bring us our very own stylus’ to use. It improves my drawing by 360%.

Sick kid and his iPad. Husband brought home stylus' for each of us this weekend. He only uses the stylus now.

Angry Husband also went to the store and picked up this little care package for Angry Kid and me. The Dr. Pepper was for survival reasons, of course…

Husband went to the store to get me supplies to survive the day. Dr. Pepper for sanity. Dayquil for my awful cough. @MuscleMilk for protein for me since I can barely taste anything. Mucinex for the kid. Day 3 of sickness!

Hungry Hungry Hippos…Why do their heads always get stuck?

A blast from my past. Playing Hungry Hungry Hippos with the kid.

Since I was home and had so much free time, I actually got to finishing a project. The fabric had been sitting on my desk for three months. Don’t judge…

Since I've been stuck in the house for the past three days, I started and finished a project that has been sitting on my desk.

And finally, sickness has somewhat gone away. I am headed to the gym now.  I got some new running shoes for my over-pronating boxy feet.  I had to get men’s because the toe box is better for me.

My brand new @newbalance running shoes. Not very girly but unfortunately I have to wear men's shoes because they fit me better. #running #runoc cc: @runTeamSparkle

Spring Break starts at 1:15pm today! Wish me luck! Angry Kid is going to AYSO camp for four days next week, yippee!!

Hello Monday-The Fun, Food, and Fever Edition

Hello Monday!

Hell to a busy, yet crazy weekend. So many stories from this weekend, there’s not enough time.

Hello to Bubblefest at The Discovery Science Center. We got a sneak preview last Friday night. It was amazing!

We got a sneak preview of #Bubblefest @DiscoveryCube tonight. All the kids had a blast.
Hello to an early Saturday morning with Sharon. We headed off to Knott’s Berry Farm for a behind-the-scenes photo walk before they opened.

Hello to GhostRider Coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm.  The older I get, the scarier roller coasters look.

Love how the Ghost Rider coaster looks so eclectic and worn @Knotts. #knottsphotos

Hello to the bakery inside Knott’s Berry Farm and their famous boysenberry pies being assembled.

Watching boysenberry pies being made. #knottsphotos

Hello to Roscoe’s House of Chicken’ n Waffles with the girls.

Hello to a long 2-hour wait to get a table.

Roscoe's Chicken and WafflesHello to an unexpected febrile seizure at almost one in the morning on Sunday.

It has been three years since Angry Kid had a febrile seizure. We thought that he had outgrown them.

Angry Kid had a 102 degree temperature. After checking him out, some Tylenol and Motrin, we were released from the hospital a few hours later.

Sigh....the kid had a seizure tonight. In the ER tonight. Most likely a febrile seizure. It has been almost three years since the last one. Not a good way to end the night.

Hello to Angry Kid still sick, and possibly me too.

Hello to a day of doctor’s appointments and cleaning.

Hello to no work.

Hopefully Angry Kid will feel better soon.

Hello Monday and one week till Spring Break.

I’m linking up with Lisa Leonard and her Hello Monday Series.

Million Moms Challenge, Being Prepared

As a mother, I have all sorts of advice to give.  Whether it be good or bad.  I have being participating in the Million Moms Challenge for the past three months as a contributor.  This month’s topic is about “Tips For Raising A Healthy Baby”.

I wrote about my son, Angry Kid, having several febrile seizures starting at sixteen months old.  As parents, Angry Husband and I learned to be prepared for the worst, and being keen observants of our son’s behaviors.
