So sick.

By -
Yesterday morning I woke up feeling very sore. I thought it was because I ran 12+ miles over the weekend, but by lunch time I was shivering and couldn't get warm. Finally, at 3 pm I took my temperature and I was running a fever. I called Sean, he came home and I went to the hospital. I have mastitis. It is extremely painful. The doctor put me on antibiotic and pain medicine.

Sean took yesterday off, but he has to go to work today and I'm just not ready to deal with the girls today. The whole left side of my body hurts. Picking up the girls is very painful. I've been crying a lot and I miss my family. I know there are some people out there who think they have no help even though there is family within driving distance, but my closest family member is about a day away if flying. It is times like this when I really miss my mom and dad, my sisters, and Jim and Phyllis. I know anyone of them would drop whatever they were doing and give me a hand if I asked for it.

I go back to the doctor today. I am hoping that the antibiotics will kick in soon and I will get better.

I don't have a lot of pictures of Autumn and Emelia today, but I do have a few of my nieces and nephew.

I love those bows. I'm going to send Devonne some money to pick up some of these bows for me.

Can I just take a moment and say that my baby sister, Devonne is such a beautiful person- inside and out.

On a different note, we've been doing some shopping for a new camera. I still haven't bought one yet and I'm still debating on which one to get, but while at Best Buy, Autumn thought she would take a nap:

On the bottom of the cart! Sometimes that child just amazes me.

Hopefully the next time I post, I am back at 100 percent and not whining about missing my family.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
