Blah, I'm feeling wretched this morning. Braeden was up most of the night coughing, hacking, sneezing. I tried to keep him propped up but it didn't help much. I do think he got more sleep than me though. Poor little guy. What do you give a child now for such symptoms? Everything I took as a little girl is off the shelf now or not allowed for toddlers.

Anyway, thought you all should know BleuDame is having a fabulous online sale of up to 90% off their fall/winter items. You won't find these things just anywhere so scooping up their sale items is a good thing. Be sure to look at the 3-tone scarf and winter hat set, it's adorable. And if you don't want to buy it but you know how to crochet you can probably give it a try, it doesn't look too difficult. Crocheting is something I have always known how to do, since I was a wee tot.

Still tackling sewing. I did make a Spiderman pillow for Braeden and he loves it. He took it to daycare this morning. =o)

Here we are laying on the sofa bed without sheets, but we do have cozy blankets. "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" is playing in HD On Demand and I must say it has never looked better than it does right now on this new TV. (Much thanks to Brian)

Why the sofa bed?

Well as you know Braeden hasn't been feeling well for a few weeks now. He has a lingering cough and intense congestion. When I called his pediatrician yesterday they were unable to fit him in until 2:50 today. But last night Brae spiked a high fever of 102.4 degrees and his congestion became so thick that he began throwing up when coughing. I know what you're thinking...yum. =o/

So Brian stripped his bed down while I cleaned up the bathroom floor and Braeden stood there shivering with gunk in his eyes that was quickly crusting. Brian opened the sofa bed from our lagoon sofa for the first time. It is a queen size and we don't have any sheets to fit it. Always and adventure.

And now it is 10 a.m. feeling like 2 a.m. there is snow in the forecast and I'm anxious to get Brae to the doctor. I will not leave until they help to ease his discomfort. I don't care about the new rules of children cold medicine. I don't care about the new theories in regards to sinus infections not requiring antibiotics to cure. My little boy is going to be treated; they will help him feel better!

In funner news please head over to Odat's blog entry for today because it is flippin' hilarious!

Y'all must have been sending me some fierce positive energy because I am definitely feeling stronger today. There are other things emotionally weighing on me, but I'm hoping my whole person will be on the mend soon.

Four days to go.

Bri's Dad says it is "3 days and a wake up" to go since he doesn't count the actual day of the wedding.

Brian helped Brae try on his little man tux last night to make sure it fits and miraculously it does. The arms are a little long but nothing a tuck and roll can't take care of =o)

I was literally jumping up and down with giddiness to have the tuxes in the house. I also have my hair jewels, necklace and earrings in my possession. They are beautiful. I'm so blessed to have Aunt Bobbie in my life. If you're in this area and preparing to get hitched you should definitely get in touch with her. Her business is called "Just Like Moms" and she can do everything from the napkins to your wedding dress. Make things easier when you're stopping at one place. =o) Thank you Aunt Bobbie!

It is freezing in my office right now. I have not taken my jacket off since I got in this morning...over 5 hours ago! I need to remember to bring a small heater and/or blanket into work!

Braeden's feeling awful. He's congested and has a cough. His eyes are all red and watery. My poor little man, but he'll be okay. And I'm praying for him to be all mended by Saturday. I can't wait to see him and Brian in their tuxes. So handsome they will be!

Enough blabbing on now. Back to work. My blog is not publishing well. I have been trying to get a music post out there since early this morning. So I hope this one publishes.

Happy Tuesday!

New Doctor: Put your arms over your head.

I oblige.

Doctor begins breast exam.

New Doctor: Is there anything you have noticed about your breasts lately?

Me: No. Just that I hate them.

Doctor laughs.

Carrie: Those clouds look like boobs.

Me: What!?

Carrie: Look, there is no mistaking them!

Me: Ohhh yeah, I do see it!

(Truly there were two round white clouds side by side in a cleavage sort of way and in the center of those two white clouds were two smaller dark gray clouds. It was bizarre!)

And now off to my "girlie" doctor appointment oh joy!

Carrie: Enjoy being violated.

Um, Carrie, do you feel the glare? Do you feel it!?

Haha.

**DISCLOSURE STATEMENT**

Carrie is NOT, I repeat, NOT a perv.

It began yesterday without so much as a scratchy throat of a warning. I have a cold. I'm starting to believe I may have an immune deficiency like Braeden. Actually, I believe I stole it from him because *knock on wood* he has been physically feeling stronger these days.

Brian and Braeden were measured for their tuxes last night at Aunt Bobbie's. I found out that Brae's neck is only a little bit smaller than mine. He has a wide neck for such a young child. This is probably because he is holding up such a big head...um...I mean brain, a big brain!

Brian picked out a tux that I know he is going to look amazing in and I'm excited to see him all dressed up. I'm also excited to know Brae will be all dressed up, too. And I have picked out a dress for Belle to wear as well. She and Brae are going to be the stars of the show, there is no way that Brian and I can compare to those two cuties. Haha. It's okay though, we don't so much like being in the lime light.

The house is coming along more and more feeling like a home. All of the painting is almost done. It looks really good, Brian has done a wonderful job. =o)

Yesterday out love seat came in and is now on the "ground floor." It swivels, actually, it can turn completely 360 degrees, it's the coolest love seat ever. It's round! Oh yes, you all will love it if anyone ever comes to visit!

Friday our "lagoon" furniture is coming in and will be placed on the "middle floor" where all the fabulous paint is happening. The colors are going to look awesome together and I am super psyched. Every day I am loving the house more and more.

This weekend I am hoping we find some time to put up some Halloween decorations. Our powder room is already feeling spookish. =o) Brian, Braeden and I all love Halloween so this is such a special time of year for us. Especially since we're getting married in less than two months!

Now if I could get past this cold and actually start feeling healthy for a change everything would be eerily perfect!
