i'm still alive....really!!

I haven't been posting much lately. I haven't been reading many blogs, and I've been commenting on even fewer. Hopefully that will change soon...

Every day I think about posting. I decided, however, that it would better to be known as "that blogger who doesn't post much these days" instead of "that blogger who whines and complains a lot." Because if I were to write about what's going on these days, here's a sample of what you'd read:

I'm sick.

The migraines are never-ending.

The coughing is making me crazy.

I'm exhausted.

I cannot believe how much energy it takes to be mommy to a nine month old.

The Sergeant is gone, and that makes everything so much harder. (He's not deployed yet, he's just TDY for a week.)

The Little Mister and I were supposed to go with the Sergeant.

But I'm sick.

And repeat.

I'm starting to feel slightly human, though. And we might go meet the Sergeant tomorrow; he's only a few hours away in a very beautiful city. Hopefully I'll have pictures later this week!

In the meantime, I leave you with pictures (and also a video!) of the Little Mister, who doesn't quit being adorable just because his mommy is sick. Hooray for smiling faces!

    Your baby has a great smile.

  3. He IS adorable...but I am sorry you've been sick. I hope you feel better really soon, and get to go meet the Sergeant in the beautiful city he's in :)

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend - migraine-free, I hope!

  5. I started blogging with the idea it would bring business to our store but found it was a great release for feelings, frustrations, etc. I figure if people don't want to read it, I'm can't make them. I just write it for me:) So please, feel free to vent. We'll love you anyway:-)

  6. Bleah. You know my opinion on TDY. Everything bad happens then - cheerios on the carpet buy me lots of time to recover from migraines. usually anyway.

    Secondly, feel better Girl. I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. I'm sending a prayer up for you!!

  13. That's horrible that you get migraines. Try Excedrin Tension Headache. If you take it when you feel one coming on and in some cases when you actually have it, it manages to stop it.

  18. Good grief, Mama. I think this might be the 10th time I've said ~ hope you feel better soon! I'm starting to think I'm jinxing you!

    But yes, that lil Mister is still mighty sweet! :)

  19. He is sooo cute!! My daughter who is 9 months loves to sit around and wave, too. If we got them together, I bet they could keep each other busy for hours!

  20. He is so CUTE!! I just want to squeeze him!

    Feel better soon. No worries on not posting (I've fallen into the rut myself...ack). Be well and take care.

  21. Get well! And those are adorable pictures.

  22. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear all of this! Migraines and missing your man too. Lovely pictures, though.

  23. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe a diet revamp is in order? Sometimes foods are headache triggers. Diet Soda is mine.

  24. What a cute video. Such an enthusiastic "hi" from the little guy!

    I hope things continue to get happier and healthier for you. Migraines sound awful.

    And yeah, it is pretty amazing how much energy it takes to have a wee one around. My brain tends to turn to mush at the end of the day.

  25. I have been wondering about you. I am sorry you are so sick STILL. It's okay to be whiney sometimes though. We understand.

    I am glad to hear you were able to make the trip. I look forward to hearing about it.

  27. i'm so sorry you are feeling yucky at the moment, i know what you mean about not wanting to be a negative blogger, I have had similar struggles, do I blog what I really feel or do I not, I usually don't either, but I think we should I promise I will listen without judgement to you if you will listen to me! :)
