Would you place children with these people...Of Course Not!!!

You Guys!!! I think I have figured it out!! I know why no one has placed children with these people!! THIS is the picture I sent in with our adoption application. Look at us. We are cave dwellers! What on earth was I thinking? Look at our piddly heat source! Good grief. No social worker in her right mind would choose us. And those wild beasts!! One is so wild he is missing an ear!

Typical Bonehead Julie move.

So obviously I need your help. I think if I get a more suitable picture to my agency, we may still have a chance. Any suggestions?

Delirious.

I am still sick. Can you believe it? Imagine getting one of the actual diseases! I would be toast. My doctor, in her brilliant wisdom, called me after six hours of vomiting and said this, "I am going to prescribe something for the vomiting. I have to warn you though, don't be surprised if you wake up in the middle of the night with severe neck spasms. That is a side effect of the meds. Just take Benadryl and the symptoms will subside."

Uhm, WHAT!?! That is a prescription that was not picked up.

I am no longer throwing up, just achy, feverish and nauseous.While I recover, I thought I'd give you some links to some things that have moved me this week.

This broke my heart. It is beautifully written.

My Cousin made me proud. This is her commercial.

Evelyn made me laugh, but then made me want to kill her, as this song will not leave my head.

This made me feel so many things.

I am looking forward to our new book club choices,

and to the day when I can drink something other than this,


After hours of whining, I am reminded of a picture I saw many months ago. It was taken by Carrie Teischer in Ethiopia...


Yea, think I'll stop complaining now.

I will, instead, remember how lucky I am to have health care, and what the real reason is for having these shots...

I feel better already.

Advice From an Idiot...

Don't get six of your traveler's vaccines at the same time. No really, Don't. Even if it saves you an extra visit fee, Don't do it.

I have been violently ill since having my shots yesterday afternoon. I am an idiot.

I am too ill to blog about Big Sur, or anything else for that matter. Learn from my bonehead mistake. I don't want anyone to feel like this.

Also, make sure not to have a 'third time's the charm' pap smear right before said shots. Sigh.
