I am alive just kinda wishing I wasn't...

Okay, that is an exaggeration but not by much. I have the infected salivary gland again. And the pain is ungodly. My teeth ache, my ear aches, my face is swollen and hurts.

Not fun.

I have a feeling that they will want to do continuous IV antibiotics...sometimes I balk at going into the hospital and they let me drive up every day to do it, but I feel so bad this time, I will just let them put me in.

I have had no sleep and still haven't managed to be pain free.

I just wanted you all to know I am alive, just sick...which is basically the story of my life.

This week or so has been ROUGH, I am not even going to lie...lots of crying because of the pain and the frustration of never feeling good.

I would love to feel "normal". I know that won't happen so I just want to get back to "my" normal.

Going to lay in the bed and whimper some more :(

I may be being a pansy but what can I say!? It hurts :(

Why did you choose the camera you have?Lights,CAMERA,action....

Just because I find this interesting!

I know myself as well as a lot of you love anything photography related!

I find it interesting how drawn you can be toward a certain model/brand of camera.

I love to hear how people ended up with the camera they did :)

So what camera do you have and why did you decide on that particular model? Also what is your dream camera???

Trying not to go Van Gogh....

It is all I can do to not go all Van Gogh and cut my ear off. To say it is hurting a wee bit, is a major understatement!!

The ear isn't so bad in itself. It is the infection on that side of my face in the salivary gland....ouch.Yeah,the right side of my face looks like I have been sucker punched...LOL

So sorry............ I have been scarce but pain meds make me sick so I have been trying to sleep as much off as I can :P

Having computer issues too so that bites!Wish I had the dough for another one, but it isn't in the cards.

Oh well :)

Little James Spann

That title will make NO sense to anyone not in the area...he is a local weatherman ;)

Today, I went with Houston's preschool class to the McWane Science Center because they are doing a unit on Dinos :) He had to tell everyone that they weren't real bones, only plastic :P

Mr. Literal is hard to impress...very analytical.

He did however LOVE the "green screen". He had everyone laughing as he ran from hurricanes, tornado's etc. Always the ham.

He also loved the thermal camera... :)

There was an animation station I about had to drag him away from too :)

He loves science so it was right up his alley and he loved having his friends there.

Only thing he was iffy on was the sharks... he was convinced kids were going to lose fingers ;)

I may not have health but I have some great amigas :)

Seriously, I feel blessed everyday that I have friends who take time out of their day to help with something...see below, THANKS Wendy.

To talk me off the ledge, thanks Candace.

To give me an unbiased opinion, thanks Jo.

To share my love of Adam Lambert, thanks Leanne :)

To help me through hard times, thanks Mom group.

To be my friends even from a distance, Christine,Mary,Theresa and lots more.

To my Internet buds....I feel like I know ya!

I seriously feel a little less sad and a lot more happy when you all brighten my day with your kindness.

You truly are the best, and I feel soooooo lucky to have you.

Just call me Martha....or maybe not.

I just like to do craft stuff, not hard time ;)

Here is what I did today.

My friend Wendy helped me tie some of the bows...it is my fatal flaw ;) Dang swollen joints..I feel like I am trying to tie stuff while wearing a hamburger helper hand...LOL

Couple more circus pics :)

Houston forgives me....

Aw, he was so cute this morning and was patting my face...and kissing on me and giving me great hugs and his huge little eyes looked on mine and he said "I forgive you."

I told him thanks and asked him why?

He said "I forgive you for all the nice things you do, you are berry sweet to me , I love you"

It was so sweet I waited to tell him the difference between forgiveness and appreciation ;)

We went to the circus....

I was way sad I didn't take the SLR but I didn't want it nabbed away.

So here are a few from my point and shoot...all right off the camera :)I still managed to take 400 pictures..yes 400

It was soooo fun.
























Houston and I think the circus is number 1 :)

We are finally recovering from the Pig Flu

I am sooo dang tired of one of us having it I could scream.

Houston has a couple more days of meds...but has about a week under his belt.

I apparently, am having an allergic reaction to something.

I look all hivey and swollen. Which if you know me because of my immune issues and illnesses isn't that strange but it's different than normal and I can always tell it's a reaction because my throat swells.

Fun times!

We are going a little stir crazy but otherwise hanging in there!

Not much to report because all we have done is play games, read, watch movies and mommy browses the net while the little germ incubator sleeps.

I was supposed to go see my dad get inducted into a hall of fame but because of my reaction and Houston the germ machine I couldn't :( Makes me sad.

I hope they took lots of pictures.

Speaking of pictures I wish it would warm up and we would get well so I could practice with my camera more....I can dream right?

I know nothing interesting to report....this blog is so boring. But hey it makes great reading material if you need to get sleepy ;)
