Your mission, should you choose to accept....

is to find something to go along the cutouts along the ceiling....


Here is T's bedding. The wall is a bit darker now that it has another coat of paint...
I was thinking something truck related since Toby is obsessed with trucks. Maybe some trains too, I don’t know. But what do I do? I'm not sold on either thing. Do I find wallpaper that has cute trucks and cut them out? The walls are REALLY textured (which is a HUGE pain painting) so would wall paper stick? Are there cutouts/decals somewhere that won’t look cheap and too kid-ish?

Maybe if I find something I should put it around the whole room? (Just at the top. Not randomly scattered.)

The best ladies in the neighborhood!

Friday night 2:30 am I start throwing up and having *issues* with the other end of me too.

It had only been three weeks since the last bout of flu or food poisoning. AND three weeks before that I had a reaction to some cough medicine that had me throwing up too. I was feeling REALLY picked on.

This goes on all day long. I'll spare you the details, but it was an AWFUL day. The Dr. had given me till 6 pm that night to stop throwing up or I would need to go to the ER for some IV therapy. Being only 9 weeks pg, we were going to play it safe.

It was about 7pm and I was keeping fluid down, but only by sheer force of will. I was in bed, bored and feeling crappy.

My doorbell rings and in comes two of my friends (S and C) from the neighborhood. They had come to take care of me! First off they gave me some peppermint gum which immediately took the edge off the nausea. They they made me some ginger and peppermint tea which helped tons too. C did all my dishes and cleaned up my kitchen and gave T some mommy attention. S massaged my back, arms, legs and feet. Then while C rubbed my head and kept cool wash cloths on my forehead and neck S gave me a pedicure. By this time I was feeling so relaxed, loved, entertained, and a thousand times better.

After I was all pampered, DA and C's husband gave me a blessing. I feel so blessed to have the priesthood in my home.

This morning S shows up to check on me and see how I was doing (much better by the way) and then right before church C shows up with dinner and dessert for me and my family.

I can't express how much I love them both right now!!!!

The only downside to this whole thing..... I went to bed with the flu and woke up with a cold. I've had a sore throat and runny/stuffy nose all day. Germs must be partying at my house!
