My week

I am trying to make up for the week of no posts. It has been quite the week. First, I experienced one of those days you have once a year, the day when you suddenly become wiser, or so they say. I got to become one year wiser but that is only a number. I don't feel any wiser. I turned 27. It doesn't seem so old anymore. I have all these pictures I was going to post on my birthday but I never got around to it. I think I will still post them sometime since I took the time to scan them in. It was fun to look through my pictures and see how much I have changed through the years and yet how I sort of look the same since high school. People still think I am a young whipper-snapper (like late teens) having kids. People ask me all the time if my sweet baby girl is my first. It probably doesn't help that I am so naive.

The day after my birthday I think I came down with this (self-diagnosed). If you have never had it, count your lucky stars. Thank goodness I was only sick for 2 full days. The only other time I had Mastitis was right after I had Kanoba- I was sick for a week and it was horrible. I slept 24/7 and felt like I was turning into an ice cube, even though I had a fever and was burning up. It made for some pretty awesome hullucinations.

Yesterday I felt much better and went to Jump Aerobics. It was the first time I have been and it was awesome! You do an aerobic workout for an hour, with an instructor, while jumping on trampolines. Very different and very fun. Plus, it is only $5 for the hour and babysitting is free. The kids get free reign of the other trampolines and blow-up slides (they don't blow up when you jump on them- they are filled with air :) and jumping houses. I don't feel bad for them at all. There is my plug for Jump On It.

Today I ventured out to Target, after waiting several hours for the plowers to plow more snow off the roads. The snow doesn't stop (but I won't complain). I had a huge list of things to buy and do while at Target since I have been homebound for a long while. Things like deposit money in the bank so checks won't bounce, set up an appointment to get the baby's pictures finally taken, and a huge list of things too price and/or buy. All of these things were convienetly at Target. I packed everyone up and headed out, determined to "get things done". I wasn't there but a few minutes when I had an odd sensation come over me... things got blurry, my head felt like it was full of cotton, and I thought "I'm going to pass out!". It is funny what you start thinking about when you think you might become incompacitated. I thought about flagging down a store employee to please watch me kids while I pass out for a minute. I thought I needed to find the home department so I could sit on one of their lovely chairs. But then does the chair need to be in an obscure place so I can pass out without embarassment? Or should it be right near the isle where people can see that a woman has passed out and her children are screaming? Should I get Kanoba out of the cart so he can run for help when he sees his mom cold out on the floor? Or will he run for the transformer isle and play there for hours while his mom is cold out on the floor? Probably the last one. Should I call someone and ask them to come pick me up because I may pass out on my way home and kill an innocent bystander? What should I do?

As much as I wanted to go to some obscure corner and chance passing out there to avoid embarassment and an unnecesary ambulance bill, I decided to sit on the lovely chair in the home department and call the hubby. He was "in the middle" so I didn't tell him my plight. I decided to wait and see if the feeling would go away. It did a little, enough for me to buy the few things in my cart, head over to the eatery and order two juice slushies and a personal pizza for Kanoba and me, and then eat. I felt a little better. I thought about trying to buy the rest of the many things I needed at the store but decided I should high tail it home before I feel worse again. Obviously I made it, and without taking out an innocent person on the sidewalk. I laid down for a bit and I feel even better. It was a werid day. Oh, and I suddenly decided to try potty training today (Kanoba, not myself). I must have lost a few important brain cells during that I'm going to pass out episode.

That is my week so far. How was yours??
