Exhausted!

What a week!! Aubrey has been sick all week, well, basically ever since she got pink eye! She started getting better then totally went downhill again. This past weekend she was just soo fussy, off-and-on temp (nothing real high though) just not herself so took her to the doc this past monday- lots of congestion and a slight ear infection in one ear. Got some meds and started her on them. Tuesday picked her up from school- broke out in some crazy rash all over her back and stomach/chest! Back to the doc. Tells me its probably viral or a reaction to the antibiotic, so we stop the antibiotic and give her a steroid. By the next day the rash is gone. Goes back to school wednesday, things seem to be a little better. Until that night. About 2 am I hear her crying in her bed, a cry I had never heard before! I rushed in there and went to pick her up when I felt it. Throw up.. everywhere. Here we go. As soon as I pick her up she just lays down on me. Poor kid. I take her to the bathroom to clean her up while my mom so wonderfully stripped her bed. Put some new pajamas on her and try to get her to drink some pedilyte. She lays down with me for a while then I put her back in her bed. (Makes me too nervous to have her sleep with me) Meanwhile, all day wednesday I'm not feeling so hot either. So, we both stay home Thursday. I was pretty excited because Aubrey decided to sleep in- which meant momma got to sleep in! So, about 10ish (oh yeah!) I go in there to check on her, shes just laying there with her eyes open so I sneak out real fast to go the bathroom before I get her up. Go back in there.. reach for her.. feel it. BUT, not our familiar friend from the night, this time it came out the other end- everywhere again. Take a deep breath and start the process all over again. And a good bath! She just keeps being kinda clingy and whiney. That ended up being the only traces of either of those, thank goodness! The rest of the day went on fairly smoothly, well, as smooth as all things considering. Friday, my mom stayed home with her (just to be safe) and I went to work.. for a few hours. I felt so nauseous the whole time. And, apparently my mom was having the same issues. Thanks Aubrey. :) We were a pitiful bunch on friday!! But, I'm good to go today and Aubrey is getting there. She is napping now.. hopefully she'll wake up happy!
Ready to be out of house arrest.
And, for my happy, giggly baby to be back!

On a completely unrelated topic..
Today while driving down 635, I hit some traffic. Well, in the lane next to me is this guy in a new Honda Civic, he looks over at me.. I avert my eyes! He gets a little ahead of me when I notice him dangling something out his window.. A KNIFE!! Like a switch blade! At least a 6 inch blade- what the heck! He's just swinging it around and pointing at peoples cars! He's being totally crazy! So, I write down his license plate and call 911. Tell the lady what was going on, she asked if he was "white, black or hispanic"? Aren't there other races? Odd. I tell her "white with red hair" lol. Anyway, I could tell some of the other cars were a little weirded out by him too, so hopefully they got some more calls on this crazy person. I mean, who swings a knife out of their car?! He could have easily scraped someones car! Scary...

Also, a sweet bonus for myself: I ordered about 200 pictures to be printed, and 190 of them were FREE!! I signed up as a new member to some sites and they both gave free prints, plus one was also offering an additional 100 prints free! Yayay! Although, I did have to pay shipping, which together was about $12, which come to about .06 cents each, cheaper than anywhere else! The two places I went were Snapfish and clarkcolor. These print tips and my canvas picture I got were both great tips from themomcreative blog- check it out!
Now, I have lots of scrapbooking to do!!

Well, I haven't really taken many pictures this week, but I'll put up what I got :)

Ok, these aren't pics of her brushing her teeth again, ok they are, but, they are to point out how curly her hair is!! I love it! Some days it gets really curly.. some days not so much. I hope it keeps!

And, then these were from this past weekend (before it all went bad!) This girl was in desperate need of some shoes, so we went shopping! Bigfoot is now in a size 5! Sheesh :)What a cutie ;)Can't end without a sleeping pic. heehee.. :)Ok.. I think I'm going to fix some coffee and relax till little bit wakes!!
