My son has been so sick see previous post. My dad is retired and watching him during the day since he is too sick to go to daycare.  When I got home from work, Anthony was not doing any better, in fact he was coughing non stop and wheezing so bad.  I called the doctors office and got an emergecny sick appointment for 5:45 pm. 

When we finally got to the appointment, Anthony's hands and feet were purple!!!!!!!  I was terrified and could only think of the worst.  The doctor on duty thoroughly checked him out and sent him over for an x-ray.  Thankfully he did not have pnemonia, but has bronchiolitis - which can lead to hosptilization if not treated.  This doctor told me to increase the number of times I give him the nebulizer. 

My DH is bringing him back in tomorrow for a follow-up with Anthony's pediatrician. We have a lot of questions...... I am worried that my son will be suseptible to respiratory infections because of this and being 5 weeks premature.  I told DH he is not allowed to leave until he feels he knows what is going on with our son. 

Catching on & Tis the Season for COLDS!!!!

OH MY, so many people have told me they LOVE getting the Daily Diva emails. This makes me so happy! I want every woman to feel powerful, confident, and beautiful.

*************************************

The past two DAILY DIVAs....

MONDAY: Walk with your head up, shoulders back, nice and tall, and look everyone in the eyes. You know where you're going. People will notice your power and step asside. Your power and sexiness bring energy to the room, even when you leave your escence is still there.

TUESDAY:

What is sexy?

The definition is different for all of us, don't force it, don't pretend. Be yourself, be natural. When you feel good with yourself, when you feel confident, when you're having a good time........... You're a DIVA.
.
Enjoy life, smile, laugh, have a good time, your natural beauty will come through.
.
Being a DIVA is more than just sex appeal, its power, its success, its confidence.

The cold is coming, I just know it. I can feel it in my nose, chest, and throat. I have been drinking lots of OJ, bundling up when going outside, I have the mucinex pill ready to go when I need them. It's just so fustrating. When I get sick it always turns into bronchitis or a respitory infection.

Stomach issues

Okay, so.....

Even though I am trying to eat healthy, try living gluten free, and lose weight, I seem to be sick all the time now.

I made an appointment (next Tues) to see a Gastroenterologist, hopefully he will be able to find out what is going on with my digestive system. Part of me hopes I will have celiac disease, since I did feel better eating gluten free, or maybe its something else??? I just wanna know, so then I can see a Nutritionist and learn to eat foods that won't basically hurt me.

Lots of news about the Board of Directors at our Condo, but I can't talk about them yet, but I will let you all know what happens at our next Board meeting Oct 3rd.

Overwhelmed and Sick

So this was my first week back to work and I have been busy and SICK! I got sick from camping, I guess I didn't bring enough warm clothes and once I get a chill in my back, I get sick. I just need the weekend to relax and get healthy, I didn't want to call in sick my first week back.
.

Work has been and will be crazy. I have to go between to high schools, so I can only spend two and half days at each, wich doesn't leave a lot of time for testing students, evaluting and scoring the tests and eventually planing individual and group lessons. So I'm a little over whelmed right now and stressed.

I want to do the best job I can for fear that if I don't it will look bad for me. On the other hand if I do too good of a job than the work load might increase even more next year. AAAARRRGGGHHH!

The good thing is that since I'm so busy I don't have time to snack, I did buy a large box of raisins and natural (unroasted) almonds to snack on. On Thursday I did a lot of walking (helping out by bringing students to and from class~a lot of confusion in the first week)

For breakfast I make egg salad
For lunch I have one of my premade meals, and make sure its the proper portion.
My snacks are raisins and almonds
For dinner I have some of the premade meals, and some wine.
.
I do have good news, I am on the board of directors for my condo (just for two months). There were two vacancies. The elections are again in the end of October, so I will try and run and hopefully be elected for the year. I am very excited and hope to make lots of positive changes for our place.
