Not Pneumonia...again???

Ah, but yes it is. Despite the lovely weekend I tried to have....sick I am.
And pneumonia...it is.
But first...

The tomato and corn festival was really very fun. The weather was a bit windier than I would've liked, considering I have about 2 feet of hair! So even in a pony I felt like I was eating it! But the food was excellent - and the corn and tomatoes - to die for. I bought some new varities of tomatoes that I never knew existed: "White Queen", "Yellow Peach", "Grandma's German Green", and "Prince Purple something or other". I think, the Prince Purple is my all time favorite. It just tastes like it belongs inside a super thick BLT. The kids, had a blast and were just a mess! Rolling in the grass...spilling food all over themselves - you get the picture. So anyway - as were making our way out - but not without a pony ride or petting the farm animals, of course -- I ran into Ms. Pink & Green: Erin! She had mentioned she might be able to swing by - and sure enough, as we were working our way out - they were working their way in! So we got to meet Mr. P and the Ladybug who is -- might I add -- the cutest little thing. She looked like such a little farm girl in overalls! And Erin, if you're reading this -- you have the greatest smile...it simply illuminates! I wasn't feeling all that great by the end of the day, and when I heard someone call my name - it didn't "click" right away who she was - and sure enough, when she smiled, I knew exactly who she was. Lovely little family, the Pink & Green crew are. I have to say, I wish I could've met them earlier in the day when the kids and I were all a little...cleaner! And, with me feeling a little better. But there's always another day....

Sunday, we did a little outlet shopping up at Kittery for school clothes. A little announcemnt for any one who is a Mom and you're reading this: Skip the Old Navy outlet. Prices on fall clothes werent' any different there than here at home. However....Children's Place and the Gap Outlet: AMAZING. Let me hear a big "SCORE!". I didn't even bother going into Gymboree because I cleaned up so well at the other two. The only thing the kids really need for now are pajamas, and sneakers. Other than that - we did quite well. I, on the other hand...wasn't doing quite so well by the time we left there yesterday.

So last night - I went to the ER, because my sister was on a shift - and I knew something wasn't right because I wasn't feeling better; I was feeling worse. And as of Saturday night - had absolutely no voice. Nothing but squeaks. And it wasn't from my throat - it was from my chest being congested. The diagnosis: Walking pneumonia. So, they gave me drugs, nebulizer, inhalers and prescription cough medicine that cost more than the outfit I had on. (Well, I was only wearing sweats, but still!) I have really good insurance, and even with that the cough syrup alone was $60. Gotta love those pharmaceutical companies...but I digress.

So, this girl is staying home and relaxing (sort of) today.
Come on. We all know I'm not a good "rest" kind of girl!
