Tony and Christopher's Birthday Party Mar 20

On Saturday, March 20, Em was invited to her friend's Tony and Chris's 4th and 5th birthday party. She had lots of fun with her buddies and was a good time.

On our way home, I was singing "you are my sunshine" to Emmy. When I finished, she sang on her own, "Please don't take my Mommy away"...which is my new favo





rite moment. I LOVE BEING A MOM!!! Even on the days Emmy throws her fits...

Although these pics don't show it, we are actually beginning to experience the "yearly thaw"...just hoping to see the grass by June!

The one where I went to the hospital

March 5, 2010 was an interesting day. Highlights included being taken to the hospital via ambulance, with my naked, fat bootie hanging out.

I'll start at the beginning.

Thursday night, I was planning to start a new medication, so I took my usual evening med (a blood pressure pill) earlier than normal, as I planned to add in the new med later that evening.

Evening went normally. I remember this part particularly clearly. As I took my pill before bed, it clearly had 100 imprinted on it. Great, except my new med that I was supposed to be taking should have read 40 and seeing the 100 should have triggered something...like "HEY MORON THAT'S THE WRONG PILL!" Alas, if it had, we would have missed the fun ahead...

Fast forward to the next morning. I have absolutely no memory of this, but Keith tells me he heard a loud bang around 6 am (normal wake up time for me) Keith tells me that he came upstairs , and I was laying beside my bed and the wall. He assumed I fell out of bed. Worried that he couldn't wake me, he called 911. If he was thinking of my pride, and the Emergency workers vision, he may of wanted to throw my nightgown on me as I had taken it off as I slept as I kept getting tangled in it. So there I am, fat, naked and probably blinding those poor workers or causing some stress leave.I'll say Keith was probably not worried about that when he more concerned I wasn't conscious.

I came to at the hospital. The Ambulance worker was asking me questions like the date or my birth date, and I could not answer his questions.

Long story short - I was released that afternoon and I am currently undergoing testing to rule out a seizure and to confirm I just passed out due to taking 2 blood pressure pills by accident. I still have to have an MRI and then hopefully we will have answers.

Regardless, have learned two important lessons: 1) use my pill box so I know what I have taken. and 2) Don't take off my PJ's at night 'cause that's when your naked butt will be the focus of Emergency worker's nightmares.

Poor, sick Elmo...

As I went grocery shopping this evening, Keith and Em were at home together. Em was playing with her Elmo doll, and Keith took this photo of Elmo, who apparently has a bit of an illness.

If you look carefully, Elmo is covered by a blanket and has a popsicle stick thermometer in his mouth.



I found this absolutely adorable when I returned home and just had to share.
