Sick Baby

Well, Jake has officially had his first illness requiring antibiotics.  He has tonsilitis.  Poor baby!  And his eating has taken a step back since anything lumpy may trigger coughing which will trigger vomiting.  :(  But he's still happy and squealy and awesome. 

And everything is just crazy lately.  I'm stressed with the contract work for my old job I'm doing... writing a manual which is SO stressful and I don't know how I'll get it done before next Friday.  And my gospel choir is getting ready for next Sunday's Haiti benefit, so there's that as well.  So the house has taken it's toll and Rob's sick so neither of us have been any good lately.  I guess I can only do what I can do, right?  So I'm just blabbering at the moment before going to bed. 

On the bright side, I found a lovely vintage hat at Oxfam for 15 euro.  Now if I could only find a lovely dress to go with it for Juan and Helena's wedding next month.  The problem with that is that Evans, pretty much the only place I can shop in Ireland, has decided it's idea of "dresses" this season are really just slightly long shirts that you are supposed to wear leggings with.  Yea, not gonna happen.  Fat people shouldn't even wear leggings in public, I don't know what Evan's is thinking selling them to us!  And then not having ANYTHING appropriate for a wedding.  UGH!  My only other best option is Ann Harvey which is must more Mother of the Bride stuff.  But I haven't given up yet... but just give me a couple weeks. :)

New Sandles!!

Bliss! I finally made it to my plus size shop, Evans, to hunt down some shoes that fit properly. A couple days ago I crossed the street to the local mall (handy!) to have a search for wide fit shoes, with NO luck. Well, that's not totally true, Clarks did sell wide shoes for 70 euro. But come on, how much do I want to spend on shoes I'll wear for a month? So since I was in town today, I popped into Evans who ONLY sell wide fit shoes. I got myself 2 pairs of sandals (one black, one brown) so I now have shoes that aren't too tight! If it rains, I'm still stuck in sandals, but this is MUCH better than the alternative tight shoes. Bliss!
