New/Old Job

It's true - I dont work in the Call Center anymore...Thank heavens! I got my old job back and I am able to work part time and it is awesome. I feel like I never left - which I dont know if that's a good thing or not. I just hope I can help the girls I work with slow down a little bit. Last year, they did 5 Ruby Trips, 2 Blue Diamond Trips, a huge convention, 2 kick off meetings and Im sure a ton that I am forgetting and havent had a break. It should be good being back in the swing of things. Marcy watches Claire while I am at work and I do a lot from home right now and it's perfect. I get to do what I love. You cant beat that!

PS - Dont miss the Christmas post below!

Christmas in Calgary

Christmas was bitter-sweet this year. It was awesome because we got to spend it in Calgary! But it was sad because it will probably be the last Christmas we ever spend there. It was definitely the last one in our house because....IT SOLD! My parents will be out Feb 16. Sad day, but it needs to be done.

Claire had a good time with Grama and Grampa. Mostly she got to do whatever she wanted. I dont have any pictures of Christmas morning, she took her nap...in the middle of it all., but she opened her Christmas jammies and wore them all day long.

We love Canada and were sad to leave, but extremely grateful we got to go!

PS - sorry I am posting Christmas on January 20 - its been a crazy month!

Update

Well this update is not a pleasant one. Yesterday afternoon I just started feeling really gross. I had a headache and just felt like crap. Then it turned into a pretty bad stomach ache. At about 430 I started throwing up. Every 10-15 minutes until about midnight. I was completely incapacitated. Luckily Brice was home last night to help me. I literally could not take care of Claire and felt like a worthless mother. I started to feel dehydrated and everytime I would try to drink even the slightest bit of water, it would come back up. I tried Sprite, nope, Diet Coke, nothing would stay down. At about 1130 we decided to go to the ER. It was pretty busy but they looked at me and took me back before everyone else in line. They put and IV in with some solution to get me rehydrated, some Zofran - AMAZING and some morphine (because of all the throwing up, my back had starting spazzing out and I was in a huge amount of pain). Once everything got in my system I started feeling much better. The doctor said it was gastroenteritis and that the nausea could last as long as 2 WEEKS!! Luckily they prescribed me some Zofran and some Loretab for the pain. It is pure bliss other than the fact that I am not allowed to drive on the Loretab.
Luckily we had my sister in law Marcy out here. She was a lifesaver last night. She came over, took care of Claire, helped bathe her and get her to bed. She wouldnt sleep so Marcy took her for a ride in the car to calm her down, got her to sleep and stayed the night while we were in the hospital. We got home at about 230. I guess Claire woke up at 430 and 8 but I had no idea. Marcy was the one who got up with her. I am so grateful that she is out here and that she was so willing to help out! We love you Marchella!
