Pre-K Graduation

Hayden had his Pre-K graduation and it was SO cute!!

We had no idea that they would actually be wearing little caps and gowns and be called up to get their graduation diploma. They sang two songs and one had the macarena dance moves along with it. After the "ceremony" they had cake and punch for the graduates and family.

Now Hayden can't wait till August so he can go to Kindergarten.

Friends

Sometimes friends know when you need this...



and this...



and a whole lot of this...


I have to say, I think this is the prettiest bouquet of flowers I've ever received. It is BEAUTIFUL, absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

Kelly, Bev, Amy, Cheryl and Jana...this has brightened my entire week. Thanks for being such thoughtful and kind friends.

Happy National Scrapbook Day!!!

Vertigo

Ok...I thought I would try to add a little humor to the past 10 days of miserable. Couldn't hurt, right??

Off and on, sometimes I get dizzy and feel my one eye twitch but usually it will go away or I think it's the beginning of a migraine and start "operation migraine prevention". Well, last week at work I got this feeling but it was much more intense. I was burning hot and so sweaty and then the darkness feeling came along. Next thing I knew I was on the floor with my old ER co-workers above me. Seems I passed out and hit my head in the process too. Oh Great!!

After being hooked up to every machine I think possible in the ER, passing out again when asked to stand plus vomiting in the CT machine I got the grand pleasure of becoming an inpatient on the 6th. floor for two days. I also go the lovely "Ruby Red Slippers Sign" posted on my door which meant I was a fall risk. So along with being a dizzy patient I now felt like a geriatric patient with the sign on my door.

I got to come home and day one a little better, next day better and on Friday...I felt a lot better. Time to enjoy the Royal Wedding!!

Saturday, with grand plans of scrapbooking and going out to eat, something started to go wrong AGAIN!! I was so dizzy again but this time burning up with a 102 fever. Sunday was a total blur of sweating, chills and dizziness.

Monday I was in with my family doctor and after being used again as a human pin cushion it was determined along with the vertigo I had a severe infection wrecking havoc with my body.

Tuesday and Wednesday came the lovely n/v/d (code for nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) I secretly wished for someone to come and put me out of my misery. I dropped my iphone behind the bed so I couldn't call or text someone to come and do it. I just hoped for some random burgler at that point.

For now I'm on FMLA till 5/16. I have to see an ENT and a physical therapist who specializes in Vertigo and balance issues.

I never really gave vertigo much thought. Years ago I saw the Alfred Hitchcock movie called "Vertigo" and it was creepy. Now that I have it...I still agree...it's creepy!!!

Royal Wedding

Today was the Royal Wedding for William and Kate and I was one of the crazy ones who was up at 4:00 am to watch it live.

I remember seeing Charles and Diana get married 30 years ago. (I'm not stating how old I was as I'd be dating myself but I was little at the time) Myself and my cousin were staying with our grandparents in Vincennes, IN and our grandma woke us up in the middle of the night to watch and then she fixed us a traditional British breakfast. I was totally entranced as I didn't realize that actual Kings and Queens really existed.

Wish I could have been there to see them ride by but at least I can say I've been to London and seen the sights they were showing on tv today.

Growing

Last week Lily had her 3-Year-Old Well Child pediatrician appointment. She's progressing well and there were no concerns.

We're completely potty trained and very rarely have accidents. Even now, on many mornings she wakes up dry, so it will be very soon and she will no longer have to wear potty pants at night.

She weighed 29 lbs and 4 oz which puts her at 32% on the growth chart. She's also 38inches tall and this makes her at 66% on the growth chart for her height.

We had issues with the scale...she cried again. Not sure why she's so afraid and doesn't want to stand on the scale. She was also very shy with the doctor and had to be examined with her sitting on my lap. Once we were done with the examine and leaving the doctor said bye to her in the hallway and she was all talkative then...LOL!!

iPad 2

Ok...I normally don't get into "electronic gadgets" Give me the basics and I'm fine. I have an iPhone and in the beginning I didn't really want one till after I got it, and then I found out how much I really liked it.

The same with the iPad. I've played with them at Best Buy but it wasn't anything that I thought that I would want. Well, after playing with a few of my friends iPads...hmmm...well...peer pressure gave in and I wanted one. Bad part is there are hard to find but this Tuesday I became the owner of a white iPad 2 and I got a pink cover to go with it. Yes, pink!!! I think Lily is rubbing off on me. I find myself getting more items in pink.

Oh well...got to go play!! :-)
