Watch it wiggle...

see it jiggle.

No kids, I am not talking about Jell-O. I'm talking about my ass, my stomach and my legs. WTF? I have been sick, granted, but really, two weeks of not working out daily and my body decides to freakin' explode into a pile of mushiness? Man alive, it sucks to get old.

We have been a house of sickness lately. Little Missy came down with a bout of something nasty over a week ago (we thinks from ECFE) and after a poor night of no sleep my cold that was on the way out became a full blown mother of colds. For the last week we have gone through so much tissue in our house I had to run to Target to restock.

I was prescribed some amoxicillin today from our company clinic. Thank the gods we have one of these on site. Saves me a whole-lotta time getting my fat butt to the doctor. After three weeks of this junk they agree I have likely moved into the sinus infection category. I think the final straw came this morning when I bent over to pick something off the floor and I thought I might topple over because of the a) throbbing pain in my head and b) the weight of my head. Who knew that mucus could weigh that much. Hopefully this will get me healthy enough to handle the holiday madness.

Little Missy goes in for her 18 month check up on Thursday. 18 months. Can you believe it? I can't. My little one is growing up so fast. I know I haven't updated her blog in weeks - I promise to get on that toot sweet!

Off to blow my nose.

11.29 Mushrooms & olives

Little Missy put down some pizza at dinner tonite, cheese with mushrooms and black olives. She ate it like a champ and still put down her peas. I didn't find anything saying mushrooms or black olives needed to be avoided, but I'll be keeping an extra eye on her, nevertheless. It's somewhat hard as she has had eczema since an early age.

Today was a fairly quiet day, I'm battling yet another cold. Hmph. I'd hate to see how sick I was if Little Missy was in daycare. Apparently, I'm the one bringing home the crap.

I'm back!

Took a bit of a hiatus from blogging the last couple of weeks. The holiday season is busy enough and learning how to haul another person along and work with her schedule wore me out. I am now battling a serious head cold and had the stomach flu the Friday after Christmas. Just getting out of bed was enough for a while.

Now that I am back at work and staring at my 2008 goal list I have begun procrastinating and have jumped back on the blogging bandwagon.

2008 is going to be an interesting year here at the big corporation. We learned at the end of 2007 that our team would be moved to another staff group. Again. In my short tenure with this joint I have reported to three different groups. While this move makes wonderful sense as we will now be part of Legal it scares me a bit.... There are NO trainers in Legal. None. Nada. Zilch. The atty's either do it themselves or they buy it off the shelf and push it out to the company. My boss tells me I am a-OK and shouldn't worry about being canned. But what the hell is he supposed to say? 'Yeah, you might be out of a job but keep working your tail off because I still have to meet my expectations?' Of course he is going to tell me I'm going to be safe. I've heard that before.

So I have updated my resume and continue to keep trucking along on the projects I have while hoping that my boss' new boss decides that not only does he need a trainer but that there is other work I could be doing for him. I really need this job security since I am the primary breadwinner, holder of family insurance and financial planner for the family.

On a more happy note, my photo biz has been picking up. I did a shoot over the holidays, have one scheduled for tomorrow (twin boys less than a month old!), one for next week and a wedding and headshots next weekend. To reward myself I went out and purchased a light meter. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow on the twins!

Pete indulged my new past time (which has lapsed the last few weeks) and bought me the Stitch & Bitch Crochet Happy Hooker. I was flipping through and can't wait to tackle some of the cool stuff she has in here, especially the bear and the purses. What fun! I am not particularly fast but it gives me something to do on cold nights when I'm not running around outside.

OK. Enough procrastinating. For someone who needs to make sure she keeps her job I need to get my ass in gear and get back to work!
