I'm a sick puppy today

Boy, this week has been rough.
Boo came down with a cold after she had her shots on Tuesday. Not sure if that has anything to do with it though.
I caught it from her.
I was doing pretty well Friday, and even yesterday. Went to the baby shower of a friend of mine, had fun.
But in the evening things kind of went downhill.
My stomach was really upset, and I wondered if it was something I ate.
My nose was running, despite my taking some heavy duty doses of vitamins.

Of course the drama with Bugs the past couple of days has had me unable to sleep, and last night wasn't much better.
I kept catnapping until about 4:30, after which I must have finally fallen asleep until Wheelie got up at 7:30.

To tell the truth, I felt like shit. My throat hurts, my body aches, snot running out of everything.

Of course when I can't sleep my mind tends to wander, and last night was no exception.
Inevitably, like always, my thoughts dwindle to my son, and I end up feeling even more miserable. I am such a glutton for punishment!!

Before that though I thought up some terrific subjects for my blog. If the computer wasn't located here in the bedroom I would have gotten up and written a few pages.

This morning I didn't feel like getting out of bed, so after I helped Wheelie get up and fed, I went back under the sheets for a while.

I decided then to check out the Target photo website, where you can design your own photo albums, which they print up like a real book, really cool.
So I dragged my sorry ass out of bed and started working on that, only to realize that most of the (million) pictures I took of the baby this year were the wrong resolution. BLAST!
It really bummed me out. I think it's such a neat idea! And I do have some fabulous pictures too!

So I'll probably end up doing it the hard way, getting the fixin's for a scrapbook and using the real pictures and gluing and designing it that way.
I did want to have it finished by Mother's Day, yeah, right!

The other plan I had was to reprint three pictures I have of each of us, Boo, Bugs, and me, at the same time in our lives (about 5 months old) I happen to have a close up picture of each of us, and we look so much alike at that age it's scary!

Since my picture is brown and white (but very cute!) and the others in color, I'll have to get them reprinted in black and white and re-sized at Target. Then I'll have to hunt for a frame that will hold all three pictures in a row.

Anyway, plans, plans, plans...

We just watched the movie "Juno" Cute! But now I am pooped and think I'll crawl back into bed for a while.

More tomorrow.

SGMKJ!

Can you scan those three photo's and share them with us, I'd love to see them.
You take great care girl, keep warm, take it easy, nurture your soul and body!

have you looked into blurb.com? it's a place you can do picture books and maybe the resolution won't be an issue with their software? you can add text and stuff too. It may be more expensive though...but it'd beat the old fashion way! :o)
