Just a little sickness update....

So, I got up Thursday morning and could not swallow....not even cold water. Long and short of it, I decided it was time I went to the doctor. Well, it didn't take her long to tell me that I have a severe case of STREP THROAT!!! Severe enough that I am on 500mg of Amoxicillan 3 times a day for the next 10 days....that is a lot of antibiotic!! You would think that after being sick for 3 weeks that I would have gone to the doctor much sooner but anyone who knows me knows that I am SUPER stubborn when it comes to the doctor. So hopefully I will have more exciting things to post once I feel 100% and start taking pictures again!!

RSL vs. New York Red Bulls at the new Rio Tinto Stadium

October 9, 2008

Wow were we lucky to get to go the the Real Salt Lake game at the new Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. It was amazing. Just as spectacular as everyone has said. They started off the night with Carnival Real on the East lawn...the kids had a blast jumping in the bounce houses, testing out motorcycles, riding mechanical bulls, and messing around with all the clowns and jugglers. It was pretty amazing. When we first walked in, we just wanted to check everything out so the kids and I walked around the whole stadium. My only complaint was that half of the concession stands didn't take credit cards....are you kidding me? We had AMAZING seats...19 rows up, even with the goal line. Honestly, I don't think there would be a bad seat in the whole stadium. We took Jen along with us because Adam had to miss out and work in Portland....still!! We were so glad she came along with us. We were also lucky enough to get some extra tickets so I gave them to my friend Laura & her son, Ethan. Though it was FREEZING cold, we all did have a great time!!

This is what makes the new stadium all more worth while!!

So sick of being SICK!!

So, I have now been sick with this cold for one full week, and boy am I SICK of it!! I woke up LAST Saturday and felt absolutely horrible. I was lucky enough for Adam to be home last weekend so I spent the entire day in bed, thinking that it would be the cure all...that all I needed was a ton of rest. Well, now it is another Saturday, and what will I be doing? Laying in bed watching movies all day. The only difference is Adam is NOT home this weekend so I will have to be "super mom" too. I am sure my immune system has taken a hit over the last couple of months...way too many changes and stresses, not to mention working with 50 little germ magnets 5 days a week. So while you all are enjoying this "lovely" weather, think of me in bed, blowing my nose!!

Have a great weekend!! Ha ha!!

P.S. I will post my movie critiques....I rented my all time favorite movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and am taking advice from a friend and watching "Baby Mama". We shall see.....
