Last Day of Work

Today is Shannon's last day of work at Best Buy!  His last day is actually February 10th, but he is not scheduled for the next few days so this is his last day of work! 

Sickness lingers

I sent Kyle to school today and they ended up calling around 10:30am saying he is throwing up.  So we went to pick him up.  The social worker was in the classroom (I think she is there to observe) and it sounds like she's in his classroom often.  She suggested that if he is still stick to keep him home the rest of the week.  She asked about medicine and I told her that he won't take any...  liquid, pills, powers, etc.  He will not take medicine.  Unless it comes in a tablet that disolves or a gummy form, he will NOT take it. 

Back to school...again

I sent Kyle to school today since he looked well enough to make it through the day.  He seemed like his happy self this morning.  He is still coughing but I didn't want him to miss too much school.

I was feeling much better too.  I haven't missed any workouts either, so I am happy about that. 

Shannon is feeling what I was feeling a few days ago.  His body is feeling achy and tingly!  I hope his isn't as bad as ours!  He got the flu shot, so I didn't expect he would catch the flu from Kyle and I. 

Love Framed

For the last few months, I have been obsessed with Alphabet Framed Art.  Essentially, it is pictures of nature, objects, etc that are in the shape of letters.  There are several websites that sell "alphabet framed art" however, they are a little pricey for me.  The picture above is one I made myself.

I bought a CD and access to a website from someone [on ebay] who took the pictures.  I made the LOVE framed art pictured above!  On another website, something like that would have cost me $40 plus shipping.  I bought the CD and access to the website for $20.  With the CD and website access, I can make many more framed art!

I bought the frame at Walmart and had the pictures developed at Walmart and had them shipped to me.  I also bought glue dots (that are use for crafts and scrapbooking). 

I plan on making many more, that's if I can find more frames that are long enough.  The one above was just barely long enough.  The frame is the most expensive part of this project. 

Now I'm sick

Last night, I noticed I had a tickle in my throat.  I woke up achy and sore all over.  I have had a sore throat all day.  I am also coughing.  The occasional sneeze too.

We kept Kyle home today and it looks like we're keeping him home tomorrow. 

Still sick or sick again...

Kyle is still sick or sick again.  He pretty much stayed in bed all day today.  His daddy came home around 7:30am or so because he worked the graveyard shift.  Shannon stayed up with us until about 9am-9:30am.  Kyle went to lay down with him and ended up staying in bed/sleeping the entire time.  Kyle was coughing throughout the day.  He won't drink water or take medicine.

Since Kyle was sick in bed, I was able to get a lot accomplished.  I was able to post several reviews and do two loads of laundry. 

I hope he's better by Monday morning because I would hate for him to miss more school.

Blog is working again!

My main blog, Beauty Brite was not allowing me to post or edit posts and pages.  Essentially, I was unable to update my blog.  I couldn't post reviews, giveaways, paid/sponsored posts, etc.  In January, I earned $260 in sponsored posts on my blog, it may be more that from other sites that I haven't reached payout yet. 

My blog was down from Wednesday mid-morning (I was able to post early in the morning) until Friday early afternoon.  I called my hosting company yesterday and today and finally had them walk me through how to restore my blog.  I ended up restoring my blog from January 2, 2013.  After the restore, I was able to post again and everything seemed to be working.  As I was updating plugins, I realized my blog was back to not letting me post.  I realized it was the plugins, so I had to remove each one to see which one was causing the issues. 

My blog is back and fully functioning! 

Thankfully, I did not miss out on two more paid posts.  One was due tomorrow and will earn me $15.  I just wrote another one tonight that will earn me over $20. 

While my site was "down" I typed up my reviews in WORD so they were ready to paste on to my blog.
