Weekend Wrap up...a few days late!

Ok so first off I was so glad to go to work on Monday becasue I knew that I was gonna get some rest...is that bad or what! HA!

So Friday morning Loreli woke up like her good old self so she went to Grandma Tina's so I could go with the girls to get nails and toes done! Not gonna lie me feet felt amazing after that...awe!!!! So after we got done with that we ate at Bobecks and then took a look at the hall. I went to go pick Loreli up and she just woke up from her nap and was feeling alittle warm....crap! I got her home and it was back up to 102.6...WTF! She was alittle fussy but not bad....played alittle then took another nap. I had to get a spray tan at 5 and Eli had to go to the diamonds, Loreli was sleeping and I didn't want to take her out of the house again......Uncle Dustin to the rescue! Dustin and his GF Abby came over so I could go and get my spray on get some groceries! I was gone about an hour and when I got back Abby was holding Loreli....Dustin said I swear she hates me, she even picked Abby’s phone over mine. I just laughed! Loreli is always a stinker with Dustin. Dustin said that they were gonna go to Dic's and I was like really, we can order in! He said I will go pick it up! It was so yummy....alittle heavy on the hips but o well! Loreli ate alittle but not the normal piggy fest! Loreli went to bed early and so did Mommy....big day and early morning coming!

Well Eli woke me up at 2 when he got home from the diamonds and Loreli woke me up at 5 with the little cries she does in the middle of the night...I don't get why she does that but gets me every time! So its 5 and I am wide awake...so might as well get some stuff done. Did some laundry, dishes, checked email, facebook, etc. I took a shower and it was time to head out and get the girls....we had to be at Kortney's at 7:30am! First a pit stop at Moto for some coffee. I picked up Litney and Amy on the way...Ashley over slept! We were only 5 minutes late not bad at all! Took about 2.5 hours to get everyone’s hair and make-up done, not bad at all. It was time to head to the church to get our dresses on and take pictures. Our dresses were interesting to say the least...part of mine broke off and Kortney's Aunt had to sew it back on....you just have to laugh in these case becasue when you buy a $200 dress you think that it will stay together right.....HA! All the girls’ dress something happened to them...either buttons or stings coming loose. We got some pictures taken and then it was time to get the show on the road! It seemed like it took longer then normal but I think it was just me (I wanted a beer so bad my mouth was watering...bad I know, but it had been a long week!) Just a few family photos after church, which seemed to take forever so a few of us girls headed to the back parking lot to meet up with the guys who had the goods if you know what I mean....LOL!!!!! Finally bus time....we went downtown Red Bud and stopped traffic at the square so we could take some sweet pictures! Pissed a few people off but I’m sure they got over it! Had a drink at The Office and then to the winery for some more pictures. We didn't stay long because Kortney wanted to go road tripping in the bus back to Hecker....that a girl! It was so much fun...just like the good old days! The reception was a blast....danced the night away and had way too many drinks but I was thinking that was gonna happen anyway! HA!...I even made it to Moonlight Madness for a drink or two....I know I danced on a picnic table....but that’s about it....

Sunday I woke up at 7 and felt great! I thought I was dreaming! Normally draft beer the next morning is not a good thing. I was little dizzy but I took a shower and it was gone...I couldn't believe it! Loreli and I watch some cartoons and then headed to the diamonds to meet Daddy. I wanted to go to the Prairie Picnic for lunch (My Mom was in charge of it this year so I wanted to support her!) The food was awesome and hit the spot! We went outside for a bit so that Loreli could run around and she loved it! I could tell it was getting close to nap time becasue she was getting testy! We headed to the car, got home and we all took a 2 hour nap! The rest of the night we just played and watched some TV...nothing to crazy!

I was thinking that since the wedding would be over that my life would be alittle less crazy....nope like an idiot I took on 4 cakes for this weekend and one of them is an anniversary party for 125 people. WHY CAN'T I SAY NO TO PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?! O well alittle extra cash in my pocket...I think I will be taking Daddy out! He has been a trooper the last few weeks with the wedding and now the cakes! I might bitch about him but I wouldn't trade him for anything! He is so good to me....even though I drive him bonkers!

What a day!

So it’s been a crazy few days...well I should say week! My friend Kortney Moll is renewing her vows this coming weekend...but there are doing it big because they just got married fast a year ago Saturday because they found out they were pregnant. So I have been helping Pam and Kortney out a lot with just trying to get the little things done....but it’s been a lot of work! O well that is what friends are for!

My daughter hardly ever gets sick, but it seems that when she does she gets it bad and at the worst time! Tuesday night I was up most of the night with her. She was crying so hard and she didn't want anything. Finally she fell asleep which meant I got to go to sleep. She woke up Wednesday with 101 fever so I called Grandpa Robbie to see if he could watch her till he went to work, he said yes! When I brought her over there she was happy as could be and was so excited to see Grandpa (they have such a special bond, it’s so cute)! I decided to call the doc to get an appt because I was thinking it was an ear infection. I got one for 1:30 that afternoon. I went to go pick her up and she was tried but still normally just Loreli eating and playing with the kitty. We got to the doctors and he took a look at her and she said that she has crup(sp). He said that we need to give her a steroid shot and that the next few days would be rough. So got the shot which she did not like one bit. We spent the rest of the day at home and she was pretty good...napped more then she normally does but she wasn't feeling good so I totally understood. After Daddy got home I had to go and get my dress from Nancy Harms because she was altering it. Kortney and Pam were there and Kortney was trying on her dress. Nancy asked that I stay so that I knew how to do the bustle. Well it took a little bit but we got it...at least 2 of us know so we will get it one way or another! Well I got home around 9 and Loreli was sitting in Daddy's lap. I was surprised to see her up, he said that she was sleeping but woke up. She slept all night so when I went to go get her Thursday morning I was thinking she was good to go....wrong! She still had a fever, so I called Grandpa Robbie again to see if he could watch her so I could go to work for a few hours. He said yes....so when I brought her over there she was happy as could be again to see grandpa and the kitty! I went to go pick her up around noon and again and she was worse! I checked her temp and it said 102.6. I was like holy cow...she has never had a temp this high before. So went home to chill out....I could tell she was kinda out of it, but who wouldn't be. She took about an hour nap and her fever was 103.2 when she woke up. I called GG and Grandpa Tina...they said luke warm bath...so that is what I did and Loreli did not like it one bit! I let her sit for about 5 minutes are so. I got her out and her temp was down to 101.5 and I was feeling better! She fell asleep again for about 2 hours so I was really thinking she was gonna kick the fever. I was wrong again.....it was 103 when she woke up. It was time for me to go to rehearsal dinner, so Daddy put her back in the tub to try and help. I left to go to the church. After we are done and getting ready to leave to go eat, Eli calls me and said get home we are taking her to the ER. I ran out of church so fast and hopped in my Tahoe and flew home! When I got home Eli said that she was like a zombie....she wouldn't respond to anything, she wouldn't move and she wouldn't talk. Nothing like what my daughter is....because she is on the move at all times and telling you a story! I picked her up and she just put her head on my should and that is not normal either....she wants nothing to do with cuddling at all! So we headed over to the ER and told them what is going on. They put us in a room, told them all of her allergies and info. All of a sudden we heard Grandpa Robbie's voice. You would have thought that Loreli hadn't seen him in days...it’s so cute! I think Grandpa held her the whole time while we were there. A doc came into see her and sure enough it was an ear infection! UGH!!!!!! He said that she may have not had an ear infection yesterday. The ER doc didn't say much on the crup. We think that they think that Loreli's doc was wrong...just by the way there were acting! We left got home and Loreli went to bed. About 1 or so she woke up crying and I got up to give her some milk...and I didn't take her temp but she felt back to normal.....she is still sleeping now so I guess we will see when she wakes up! I am supposed to be in Waterloo at 10 with the wedding party to get our nails and toes done...but I don't think that I can send her to the sitter so I will just have to paint my own...not the same but that’s what us mothers do!.....I can hear her waking up now...wish us luck!!!!

This and That

So first off...what the heck was up with Blogger....I had changed a bunch of stuff and its all gone! O well that's life...guess I will just find something new! I think we don't have plans till tomorrow night so I can mess with it tomorrow...or I may this afternoon! Boss is gone and I have nothing to do!

Last night we went to the Lion's Mother's Day Dinner...it was awesome. Trevor really knows how to make a meal! Although I didn't win anything it was still a good time! It was a nice date night for me and Eli that was totally free since Jim bought my ticket! I am sure that you will hear me say a lot that I have an awesome boss and a sweet job...he pays us good and we don't do much! Since it was an adult party only Loreli went with Grandma T to go visit Great Grandma Sorrell and Sherwood. Grandma T said the Loreli was really good while they went to eat...the waiter gave her some crayons and she was a happy camper.

Such a big girl!

Grandma T said that she was taking the crayons out of the box and putting them back in. She loves to do that. Give her a golf ball and a bowl and she will be entertained for hours...amazing what makes a kid happy! We went to go pick her up about 10:30 for Grandma T house and I thought for sure she would be crashed out...nope I was wrong. She was just a playing and talking like it was 2 in the afternoon. We hung out for a bit and then headed home...it was way past bed and you could tell! This morning was alittle rough getting her up but she snapped out of it pretty quick! Hopefully she is not to much of a bear for Jenny today!

New Title

Ok so last night Eli was using my laptop because he managed to do something to his computer...anyway, I had my blog up and he told me that the title of my blog made no sense and then went on about how I wasn't using proper English and all the bull that I am sure he got an A in English for...yeah right! I went on to tell him that it was my blog and I can do whatever I want! He then tells me that ITZA is his and so on and so on....which is true, but I feel that I can use. I mean come on I had his kid right?

But I have decided to change it so that I don't have to listen to him bitch because every time he sees it he will go on and on about it. So it’s just easier to change it and not have to listen to him! So this is what he told me it should be and I am just gonna go with it!

Why is baby weight such a killer?

So as you all know...I had my daughter over a year ago and I am still struggling to lose my baby weight. I have tried and tried but it just doesn't seem to want to come off. I have done many exercise classes, I work out at lunch and I try to eat good. I have lost 10lbs since I started working at it but I am just not feeling it! I want to lose it but it is really hard to stay motivated. Eli doesn't care if I lose the weight or not....he has told me that is what happens when you have kids.... When we first started talking I was at my skinniest and he tells me that I was too skinny then, bless his heart…Thank God he loves me for me and not my body becasue he would be running faster then lighting...LOL! It's hard not to have the support at home because if he wants to eat badly then I eat badly too! So I feel like it’s a no win for me! So I have put a little weight scale on here so that you all can help keep me motivated. I don't ever tell anyone my weight and I have pretty much just put it out in the open so you will all know and tell me that I need to stay with it, because I do I have never been this big before….well except when I was pregnant. I am gonna try and keep you updated on my activities so that it pushes me to work at this!  So please help me stay motivated so I can get back to my cloths before Loreli......

A new look

Ok so I did some playing around and I figured how to get a backround but still can't figure out how to get pictures in my header... I will get there one way or another. I am slow and I am sure that you will all learn that about me after reading my blog, if not just ask Eli he will tell you! HA! So if you guys have any advise send it my way!!!

HELP

Ok so I guess I need to know where the place is to go to get cute templates for my blog.....some of yours guys are really cute and I am not gonna lie...I want mine to be cute too!...So please help me out I am a bit slow at things like this! Thanks!!!

Also is anyone having trouble with their dashboard?...All of the blogs that I follow are not showing up?

Monkey See Monkey Do

So I have been reading some blogs lately and have decided that I think that I can do it too! It's a great place to brag about my kid and not feel like I'm going on and on because its mine! I know that its still alittle plain but I am still learning and may need to get some pointers on how to do some stuff! I may not be good at it but hey Ill give it a try! Hopefully you will enjoy our crazyness but ITZA Our Life and it works for us!
