33 days and counting…
For those friends who know me in real life and those that follow me on FB, you can just skip this post cause I’m fairly certain your are sick of my sickness.
This is what the kitchen has looked like (plus 2 other prescription bottles that have since been finished and tossed) for the last 33 days. Because I’ve been sick for that long. Totally ridiculous!
(the cough syrup is John’s. He’s been sick for quite a while himself.)Started with a throat infection (that Patrick decided was diptheria) in mid January. Went on an antibiotic for 10 days. Day 11, I got sick again with a bad cold which then turned into the sinus infection from hell- fever, horrible jaw and face pain, all over aches and chills- on the couch for 2 days. Back on antibiotics (a different one this time- why not, right?) for 10 more days. It helped with the worst of the infection but not entirely. Still sick and as a bonus the sickness included flu-like symptoms, swollen glands/lymphnodes and general ickiness.
So on the advice of my fabulous pilates trainer, Karen, I went to her allergist/immunologist and as of last night I am finally able to breathe, and not thru my mouth. He seems to think it’s a viral thing and that’s why the antibiotics weren’t really helping. I’m on 2 different kinds of nose sprays, a sinus cleanse (umm…..ewwwwww!), a steroid and more motrin. He took a ton of blood to rule out mono (it could be I guess, but I had mono once and was waaaaay more tired than I have been with this sickness and way more sick but with no cold symptoms and a much higher fever) and to make sure there’s nothing weird going on with auto-immune things because of my family history of lupus and my raynaud’s syndrome (which is in the auto-immune thing). So waiting to hear on those results, but so happy I’ve finally been able- since last night- to stop being a mouth breather. I can breeeeaaaaathe!!!!!
Thirty three days is beyond my limit. Seriously.

timmy’s birthday vegetable- part 3 {school party}
On his actual birthday, Timmy got to celebrate with his class at school (which was pretty much most of the kids at his bowling birthday party anyway). John and I got to go in and read and bring in the ever important ice cream cups.
First, some of his birthday haul.
And then the very happy birthday boy in his Kindergarten classroom. 
Are ya one, are ya two, are ya three…
Timmy and his BFF Jack are even the closest in February birthdays. 
And that concludes Timmy’s 6th birthday vegetable. Hope you enjoyed the festivities. Can’t wait until next year (but if he could stay little that would be even better!!) -
timmy’s birthday vegetable- part 2 {the party}
So, breaking with tradition, Timmy decided NOT to do a Rec Center birthday party this year. He wanted to have a bowling party. So we did.
Timmy and his BFF Jack, who never seem to be more than a few inches apart from eachother. 
The boys’ baseball trainer & coach, Bryan who was so nice to come to Timmy’s birthday party. He told Timmy that if he hit well earlier that week that he would come to the party.
The original 3 friends!
See what I mean about not being more than a few inches apart?
Possibly my favorite picture from the party. Timmy deep in prayer that he gets a strike. 
And although the party was NOT well run at all (the ‘helpers’ for the party were way less than helpful and the service was pretty awful) the kids had a great time, especially Timmy. So in the end that’s all that really matters. Just be forewarned if you are going to have a party there. 
Since Timmy hates cake (even ice cream cake) and cupcakes which covers just about all of the available birthday party celebratory fare, so he decided on ice cream cups. Pretty good choice as it turns out!
I think he was pretty happy with the whole day! 
On a sideish note- I wasn’t really feeling very well at the party (that was the start of my sinus infection I think) and missed so many great shots. I knew there was something up- I was so off my game. I watched as so many great shots passed me right by. At least I still got a few decent ones. -
the vill boys
So sorry about the lack of new blog material lately. I’ve been so sick (more on that another day) and haven’t had it in me to edit pictures, take pictures or even blog pictures. But I’ve clawed my way back to the land of the living (it’s a much nicer place to be) and finally have a new blog post for you today.
Did a quick mini session for this new to bsquared family. Two little boys who were deliciously cute. The older one is having a bit of a hard time with the whole new baby thing and he wasn’t particularly up for pictures with me which was unfortunate for me- look at those eyes! So wanted a smiley picture out of him but it was not meant to be. Maybe next time. The baby, on the other hand, was pretty smiley for a 3 week old with great expressions!
Hope the new post was worth the wait! -
happy valentines day.
to all of my bsquared blog stalkers. Sending you love and kisses! (and since the big boys are way too big for valentines at school, you’ll have to make do with Timmy’s valentines card that he’ll be handing out to his classmates today.)
And because I’m still trying to recover from this whatever sickness I’ve had for almost a month, that’s all I got today.
