We ARE aLiVe!!!

First off.. let me start off by apologizing for not posting ANYTHING for a whole month! Holy cow it's been a crazy past 4 or 5 weeks. It started with Bridger getting some kind of respiratory infection. Then, Dan brought home Strep Throat and shared it with the WHOLE family. Then, he brought home the lovely stomach flu. Right after that, my migraines took a turn for the worse so I went to the doctor to be put on some kind of "preventative medicine". He put me on Topomax which not only did NOT fix my migraines... but gave me some very terrifying side affects. Once I got off that wonderful drug, and got myself a new one... things have been more under control. I still get them, they just don't last as long. Then... right when I thought, "Wow!!! I'm feeling sooo much better! No horrible migraine, mo stomach flu, no sore throat...". Then BAM! There I was thinking, "Look at me being so healthy AND frugal! I went to the store, bought stuff for a ham sandwich... packed my lunch for work." Then, about an hour after eating my lovely sandwich, I started feeling nauseous. I got cold sweats and I was burning up. I wasn't home longer that and hour and let the worshiping of the Porcelain Throne begin! I threw up... and threw up... and more fun stuff from other... uh... regions... and more throw up and then, "Ahhh... I feel sooo much better! Wait... no...". Then MORE throwing up. I threw up until there was nothing left. Stupid ham. Stupid food poisoning. I don't think I'll be able to eat deli meat for a year without dry heaving just a little. And things went great for a week!! However, now I have a cold. I have to be honest.. I would take a cold over the past few illnesses. Trust me. A cold I can handle. There wasn't ALL bad in the recent month though... There were a lot of fun things too (in between all the yuckiness).
