Ta-da!

Well, here we are, in my brand new home with a brand new design!  I am loving my new look.  I spent the last week or so getting everything in order {hence my absence} and then migrated the whole shebang over the weekend.  I am so pleased with how everything turned out.  Reminder: if I am in your reader, you shouldn't have to change anything, but if you've bookmarked me, you'll have to update the web address.

In less-than-happy news, I've also spent the better part of the last 4 days with a sick kiddo.  Everlee caught her very first, honest-to-goodness cold.  And let me just say, we are not fans.  I think she's finally moving out of it though.  We've entered the barking seal phase, so her nose is less stuffed up and she managed to sleep a solid chunk last night.  Needless to say, coffee has been a major crutch.  On Saturday, when her symptoms appeared and then went south really quickly, I was convinced she had an ear infection.  She was tugging at her ear, had a decent fever and threw up {quite impressively, I might add}.  But of course it was the weekend, so I couldn't call her doctor.  I did the only thing I could think of and told Chris I thought we should take her to urgent care.  So we threw a blanket over her, and took her to be seen.  It turned out she didn't have an ear infection, just a bad cold, and we were sent on our merry way with instructions to basically wait it out.  So, that's what we've been doing.

It's looking like January is going to be the month of the doctor.  There are several more appointments slated to happen {endocrinologist, OB, pediatrician} and I'm just so excited I can't even tell you...  I also have to remember to renew my cosmetology license by the end of the month.  Don't forget that, Lisa...

I also just realized that I never really did a Christmas wrap-up post so I promise to get that done this week.  I know, I know, you're on pins and needles waiting to hear alll about it.

That's about all there is going on around these parts.  I'm basically just an exhausted shell of my former self, but once the pretty, pretty coffee kicks in and we get back to our regularly scheduled sleep patterns, things should be right as rain.

*note: thank you so much to all the people who sent me encouragement after my last post.  It meant so much to me that you all took the time to share heartfelt words.  Thank you, thank you!
