Scrapbooking and Sick...

I had the opportunity to join my friend Michele at her house to scrapbook on Saturday.  Everyone else was doing traditional, but that didn't stop me from taking along my computer, and completing some digi pages....

I find it takes me about as long to craft a digital page as a traditional page...but Cole says I'm ahead because the setup and the cleanup takes a lot less time when I'm digi-scrapping.  :)

I'm having headaches again.  There are some days when the pressure is so intense, you can see all the veins on my forehead popping out.  I'm also not sleeping very well.  The bouts of insomnia have recurred on and off since I got pregnant with Talia, and I figure the headaches are probably related to the lack of sleep.  To top it off, Talia woke up from her nap yesterday with a high fever, and shortly was throwing up. 

Poor little sick girl...

I was worried about Talia, and my head was killing me, so I finally gave in and dragged out the Percocet that I was prescribed the last time I was having major headache trouble.  I don't like to do that, because it sometimes makes me nauseous, and Cole says I always act stoned when I'm taking it.  I was hoping it would cure the pain and help me sleep.  It did kill the pain...but I didn't sleep, I spent the night laying in bed, having
"head rushes" (the only way I can think of to describe it when the blood seems to flood to my brain in waves), and by morning, Cole decided to call in sick to let me sleep and take care of our sick daughter. 

I can already feel the headache creeping back...and Talia still can't keep much down.  Life goes on.

Work in Progress...

Well, a virus has come to play at our house.  Cole and I both had to call in sick to work yesterday for sore throats and fevers.  We had planned to grocery shop today, (and I hadn't been grocery shopping in almost 8 weeks, so our freezer was empty and our food storage was pretty low), so we still went, but by the time we got home, we were both wiped out, and my fever had spiked back up again.  Cole's currently crashed on the couch. 

Since all I feel like doing is laying around, I've been playing on my laptop.  Playing with Photoshop, trying to use my digi-scrapping skills to design my own blog background.  I've got the header down, but the rest is a work in progress...

We're currently hoping that our children won't get this bug from us...
