Exhausted.

Yesterday I was exhausted and did not feel good. It has been a whirlwind of a week around our household! I apologize for the lack of blogging, but let me get you up to speed.

Maddux was sick. The poor little guy. He went to bed last Monday not feeling well and woke up Tuesday morning with a fever. He got to stay home with his daddy for the day and by 5 pm the little man was starting to get spots all over his body. I decided to let is take its course and see what happened. Well, with NO sleep on Tuesday night (literally I got a max of 2 hours), when the sun came up on Wednesday the bumps had multiplied and he had a high fever...off to the pediatrician we went! The doctor said everything looked ok. The rash was probably was from the fever and he should be back to normal within a few days, which he was. A huge thank you to my father in law for watching Maddux last week when he was miserable. He was a trooper for watching more hours of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse then he ever wanted to see in a lifetime and comforting my little guy when he wasn't feeling well. Here is Maddux snoozing in his swing with spots....

By Thursday Maddux was back to normal...thank God because it was the start of my long working weekend.  I helped my best friend Kate out by marketing for Artistry at the Southern Women's Show. All was looking well until I woke up Friday morning with a fever, sore throat, head ache, and upset stomach. Did I mention it was 10 hour work days? The weekend was a long one. My dear friend Stephanie worked with me and she was a trooper for dealing with me feeling awful Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! On Saturday Will came to the show with his mom and Maddux. That of course made me feel a little better :) Maddux got to meet Kristina Janolo, Miss Florida 2011. Artistry represents the Miss America organization therefore Miss Florida hung out with us all weekend. She is an absolute sweetheart. She will be competing in Miss America on January 14, 2012 @ 9pm on ABC! I can't wait to watch and cheer for her....if I could vote she'd definitatly get mine. Here she is with Maddux, a for sure picture for the baby book.

 And here are all of the ladies I got to spend my weekend with. All of them are wonderful people. I feel blessed to have met them (and it was fun hanging out with girls from Grap! I miss that place!!!).

 
Before I knew it Sunday night had arrived and it was back to my regular work week. The pile of laundy I had to fold was unbelievable (THANK YOU Miss Pamela for doing that for me), the house was a disaster (THANK YOU Will for cleaning the house), and my bed was calling my name knowing I still felt awful. Yesterday was a rough day...still feeling under the weather. I toughed it out and hit the hay by 8pm. No joke. It felt glorious. Thank you Maddux for sleeping through the night.

Phew! Craziness. Glad we're all feeling better. I'll be back later this week. Maddux is spending the week with his Granny...I'm we'll have pictures to share.

Love to all of you.
