Well, I figure I need to put a new post on here since we all know there is nothing worse than clicking on the link to someones blog and finding the same post that has been there for the past month. So since I am too lazy to make my way to the other computer to upload the new pictures I have, this post will lack pictures. Sorry guys. Hopefully I will get around to the pictures this weekend.
It seems like a lot of our weekends are spent out of town, but we have finally been home for two weekends in a row. Hurray! I wish I had some exciting news such as: we're having a baby, we're millionaires, we're going to Greece....but I have no such news. The most exciting thing in my life right now is that I got a new vacuum....and at a GREAT price! We've needed a new vacuum for about a year now.
On the not so exciting list of things in my life is that I was sick this weekend. At the beginning of last week I got one of those lovely UTI's (urinary tract infection). I neglected to go to the doctor until Wednesday to get medication. *For all you ladies out there -- GO TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY IF YOU GET A UTI* I took the medicine Wednesday night and then went to bed just like any other night...so I thought. But no...at 1 am I woke up hotter than hot! I had a fever, pain through my entire body, I was nauseous, and had a horrible headache. I drank a ton of water because I felt dehydrated...but no matter what I did I still felt horrible. Eventually I started throwing everything up, including the water. I felt so week and couldn't take it anymore so Tom took me to the hospital. They promptly hooked me up to an IV. Of course they had to mess up--it took them three pokes to finally get it right! OUCH!! It turns out that the UTI went to my kidneys and turned into a kidney infection. I was there about three hours and was finally starting to feel better. Of course, just my luck, I broke out in hives! Apparently I was allergic to something. The nurses gave me benedryl and sent me home...at which point I slept for pretty much 2 days straight!
So that is the end of my crazy weekend! Maybe next time I will have a better, happier story...and some pictures!

Oh Sarah. I am so sorry that you had such a terriable weekend. I hope you are feeling better now. I can't believe that you broke out in hives. They are so painful. Good luck and please realize there is over the counter meds that work just as well. Let me know if you want me to figure out what they are called. Love You.
Well, I tried the over the counter stuff that i heard of which is why I waited till Wednesday to go to the doctor. Umm...yah, they didnt work. What are the ones that you are talking about?
I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. I am glad that you are feeling better. I have never had a UTI, but have been close to getting one since I have been pregnant. Your chances of getting them are a bit higher I guess. As soon as I feel it coming on I drink 100% cranberry juice (yuck!), eat yogurt, and drink tons of water so I have to go to the bathroom every hour. I hope that this weekend is better for you.
