I'm trying to balance the whiny post with a few pretty pictures, let me know if it works, k?
So early last week we thought Charlotte had the chicken pox, we got her into the dr. the morning we were heading out of town for a few days. They said they thought it was a virus, with a rash-like pox that mimics chicken pox, but not chicken pox.
Ummm...I don't know, I still kinda think it could be chicken pox.
Anyway, she seemed fine while we were gone but I just wish I knew for sure because I have been worrying about other people getting the chicken pox from her, namely my sweet little
4-month old niece I watch on Mondays.

Fast forward to Friday.
Wyatt and I were out running errands and stuff, we get home, I start cleaning the house and changing all the sheets on the beds because one of my friends was coming to stay that night and all of a sudden
I am sick, out of nowhere.
I come down with the worst stomach flu and stayed in bed pretty much all weekend.
By the middle of the day Sunday I was finally up and feeling much better.
It was the weekend of my High School Reunion though and I missed it all. I haven't had the flu in at least three years or more but I got it this weekend.

And a couple of people asked last week; she did have the chicken pox vaccine but you can still get it,
it's usually a more mild case though.
BUT, we got the okay to go and she assured us Charlotte wasn't contagious so off
we went to St. Louis for a few days.

The funny thing is, I wasn't looking that forward to the Reunion in the first place,
I was going but kind of felt like it was more of an obligation rather than being really excited about it,
but once I knew I couldn't go I realized I didn't want to have to miss it.
That's kind of how it usually works out though, huh?
My two best girlfriends were in town for it and we had plans to all go together and they
were going to have fun without me, that's the worst part.
I would pour myself a glass of wine and woller in self-pity while looking at all of the reunion
pictures on facebook but my stomach isn't quite ready for wine yet so you get to listen
to me whine instead. Lucky you.

There was a big festival going on in town over the weekend that I missed too, luckily though
Thursday night I was driving home from somewhere and stopped to take a few quick
pictures of the Carnival. I love pictures of the Carnival usually more than I love the actual Carnival.
So that was my weekend, try not to be too jealous.
I have to admit, I did get sucked into Swamp People during my 38+ hours in bed though,
I had never seen it before and I watched way too many episodes in a row.
Tuesday I will be back with lots of pictures of our little get-away and Virtual Coffee.
See ya then!
ps- school starts exactly two weeks from today. eeeek!
