Sucks...I can barely talk and what do you think I do for a living??? I am on the phone all day long...you know what sucks when you can't talk??? People asking you to repeat yourself because your voice goes in and out. I don't feel like taking time off now so I'm just going to have to tough it out.

Guess what? I've lost a little more weight!! Starting in April I weighed 155 right now, I weigh 143!! w00t w00t!! If I can get down into the 130s I will truly be happy! It just sucks because when I was in high school, I was barely a size one. I went to prom my sophomore year and my size one dress barely fit, it slid off my shoulders. Where did my size one swimmer's body go?? Oh wait I had a baby, but my baby's now a toddler and I've still got some more weight to lose.

Speaking of that toddler, he is nawts. He started going to a new daycare on Monday and I really think it is wearing him out. He comes home soooo tired every afternoon. He's come home with some cute art projects too...they are little craftsy but still cute! They do a lot of reading at oddly as it may seem, they are doing show and tell in Ethan's class full of 18m-2yo, I don't think they really care what the other ones have but we'll see. I think I will send Ethan with his frog. He loves that silly little Ty frog that I got for him from Claire's LOL. He's starting to get attached to stuffed animals and it's so cute. Right now, he is sleeping with his puppy that his Granny got him. At school he sleeps with his lamb lovie (oops doug says I'm not supposed to call it a lovie cuz that sounds ghey) that his Aunt Kathy made for him right after he was born. It has his full name Ethan Alexander Sallas, his dob November 19, 2006, his birthweight 6lbs and 8oz, and his length 19 and 3/8"...He was a tiny little Booga bit now he weighs 26lbs 6oz and he's a walking, talking toddler. He's growing up so fast, I can't believe he's going to be two in less than 6 months!

Oh well, I think it's time for me to go to bed. I really need some chap stick and a tissue.

**warning whine** MY throat is soooo freaking sore. My nose is clogged up but running (weird a$$ nose). My ears feel like they are clogged as well and my whole head feels like it's going to explode. And I think I might be running a fever :( **whine over**

Whew did I need that LOL N I G H T!

Yesterday was pretty much the grossest day of my entire life. Ethan, I guess, had a stomach bug that has been going around and pretty much was either throwing up or having diarrhea all day long. He spent the night with his papa and gran Susie and when we went to pick him up he was in the tubby. He had pooped out of his diaper and needed to get in the bath to get it all washed off. Then, before we left, there was another blowout but this time luckily it didn't get on his clothes because we didn't have any extras at this point. So we get him in the car and he falls asleep in the car. We get him home and he takes a freaking 3.5 hour nap. I was going nuts checking on him like every 15 minutes after 2 hours because that's normally the longest nap he takes. Well, we wake him up after 3.5 hours because we had to go pick my car up from the dealership where it was getting the oil changed and the tires rotated and balanced. We then went to Chik fil A to get some lunch and then we were gonna go to Target just to get a few little things. So we got done ordering our lunch and they were about to hand us our drink when, "BLEEEEECH" Ethan pukes all over me and all over the counter. It was sooooo gross but I must say I impressed with the way that the workers at Chik fil A handled it. They were so nice with giving us paper towels and wipies and what not. They also gave us a regular towel in order to clean Ethan up. So we put him back in the car, nakie (just a diapey)  in the carseat and he settles down and actually laughs at me all the way home. I call the pedi because at this point I am a nervous wreck and shaking so bad I just wanted to be at home. We finally get home and get Ethan back in some clothes and he seems perfectly fine. When the pedi calls back he says that there is a stomach flu going around and to give him 1/2 oz to an 1 oz of gatorade every 5-10 minutes and make sure he keeps it down. If he couldn't keep it down we were told to take him to the ER. Well luckily he kept the gatorade and some toast down and then he went down for another nap, for about 2 hours, again very weird for him. He wakes up and we decide that we were freaking bored and hungry so we thought hey, lets go to blockbuster and rent a game and stop and get some dinner on the way home. So we were in the drive thru to BK when, "BLEEEEECH" Ethan puked again all over the backseat and carseat and himself and the floor boards and everything and it smelled like sour gatorade. Not a pleasant smell by the way. So we get him home, give him some more toast and gatorade and send him off to bed. He woke up this morning in a fine mood and has not had a bm or anymore puking all day!!!

:( Sooo, for the past 3 days I have felt like absolute crap. I thought it was just a cold, it would go away, blah blah blah...but it hasn't. My mom and Doug have been bugging me to go the doc and today at work I couldn't take it anymore, I felt hot and cold at the same time, I felt like I was going to pass out, I felt dizzy, I overall just felt like crapola. I thought maybe it was something contagious because Ethan has started coughing but I really think he's just copying me because the doctor said that I have an upper respiratory infection and allergies. He's got me taking 2 different medicines so hopefully that should make me feel better. He said it should take a week for this to all run it's course so we'll see. Oh and Ethan has started making a noise like Chewbaca which makes me want to do his big boy room in all Star Wars...Doug and I are such nerds we like all the nerdy movies LOTR, Star Wars, and the most recent, Transformers lol. Doug thinks Star Wars is too old for him to appreciate it but I think that if we introduce him to it he might like it. I mean hey he already sounds like Chewy. I guess we could always dress him up as a hobbit lol. Welps...I'm tired and sick, not sick and tired so I'm gonna eat some din din and go to beddy bye!
