only one lol..
I did a photo shoot the other week for my friend Karly who was expecting baby #1..who incidentally was born on Sunday..a girl..Paige weighing a hefty 8lbs! not bad for a 1st baby!
I haven't had time to do any editing, so this morning, in between coughing fits, I've had a little play...
This is my favourite so far!
and this one...
cant wait to do Paige's photos!!!
I've had quite a few emails asking where Kennedy's button has gone! Well, remember awhile ago I had an idiot commenter? Well, in a nutshell, the comments it made, were very derogatory towards people with Down Syndrome, in fact, I really wish now that I had 'outed' this person and copied the comments to the blog so that my subscribers could see what a hideous stalker I have. I was so worried that this hideous revolting person (yes you know you are still here and yes, look, I'm talking about you) would go over to Renee's blog and start her crap there (I say her, because to be honest, I don't believe a man would be that bitchy and horrible, nor would a man bother with stalking my blog anyway!) so I reluctantly removed Ken's button. (sorry Renee!). I was going to just have the button with no link but couldn't work out how to take the link off, SO Renee, if you can help with that!!!!! lol
I've also decided to take comment moderation off, if the stalker wants to comment, let her, it's her time and effort, and honestly, if that's what gives her kicks, who am I to spoil her fun really. Perhaps she could put her own writing to her own blog and let us stalk her??? THAT would be too easy hey!
What does make me laugh in the blog stalking stakes is that how someone will come in, read your blog, take it all in, talk about it, YET totally ignore you, when they see you in real life, like you don't exist.
That cracks me and Jackie up all the time.
That's all I have to say on the matter LOL..Resuming normal programming now..
OH I've changed my template...does it look ok??
I woke up this morning feeling almost human. After the first good nights sleep in nearly a week! Gary said I hardly coughed at all, so the steroids have definitely kicked in and today the pressure in my chest is totally gone! Yesterday the doctor said the pneumonia was beginning to break up and in a matter of days I should be getting on top of it, looks like he was right! He did give me a whole week off work, so that I will be totally rested by the time I go back, which has turned out really well as the kids being on holidays, didn't need a sitter, they just sit me hahaha!
I go back to doc tomorrow to have another check on steroids and hoping to come off those little pills then! Gosh they make you bounce off the walls, this morning, i got up and took them earlier than usual so they would be out of my system by the time I go to bed, I like to sleep LOL.
Thank you to everyone for all your emails, comments and phone calls, sorry I haven't gotten around to answering them all, I'm spending short bursts at computer and taking docs advise and resting..how unlike me LOL..
something as simple as Asthma suddenly become pneumonia?
I have had asthma for the last 6 weeks, finally gave into it on Thurs and got Hayley to run me up to the emergency dept, my bum never even hit the seat..Amazing what power not breathing brings in places like that! (considering we sat for over 4 hours on Tues night with Bray, obviously NOT as important as his Nanna, but that is another story, and he is ok!)
I was hooked up to a nebulizer, stabbed 4 times in both hands because the nurse couldn't find a vein and when she did find one I had no blood..I tell you..she looked at me accusingly and said..YOU HAVE NO BLOOD! I have to get a doctor..ok, i was past caring anyway..The doctor came in and said, take it out and put it in the other hand, she chucked a bit of a tanty (not unlike All Saints lol) so the doctor decided it would be better for him to do it himself. After getting the canula into a vein via my whole hand he managed to get a few drops of blood. then decided that perhaps i was super dehydrated so ordered fluids. That worked..They did cultures, chest X-rays, everything apparently everything was clear. Gave me some phenergan for my swollen eye (allergy to pain killers) and after 6 hours of poking and prodding thought perhaps I would be better off at home as now I was breathing a lot better and would I please go to my GP for a follow up visit. I felt great so thought yup, this was easy, I'm all better..
WRONG! by 3am this morning, I felt like the truck that had run over me the day before had now reversed over me, luckily I had an 8 am appointment with my GP so i just sat and concentrated on breathing etc until I had to go see him. He took one look at me, threw a nebulizer on me, double dose! examined me and was horrified that the hospital sent me home, rang the hospital, got someone to look at my X-rays while he was on the phone, told them what to look for..oh yes...lookie here, the lady has PNEUMONIA! how ever did we miss that? Would I like to go back to the hospital..NO WAY...so I'm home, on steroids (i shall look like a weightlifter when I'm done lol) and antibiotics, go back to doc on Monday and if no better, then hospital it shall be!
on the bright side
Aaryn has been looking after me beautifully, water, cordial and ginger beer every half hour (so I don't deflate! I think be meant dehydrate lol) and panadol every 4 hours on the dot! Salada crackers with a little butter, if I need to eat..He would cook a roast, but isn't allowed to use the oven and also he would make me coffee or tea but his dad said, he's not allowed to use the kettle yet, he's too short LOL @ that one!
He put socks on me so my feet wouldn't get cold and insisted I have 4 blankets on me and just incase i did get cold, he then opened my bedroom blinds so the sun would shine straight on me and warm me up.
Why I just sweated that damn pneumonia right out of me i think LOL. He has picked every flower/weed in sight and surrounded me with them, which has done wonders for the hayfever,
He then reminded me that if and when I die not to forget the TV is his!
i should have known there were ulterior motives. I'm also expecting a bill at the end of it all LOL
Cameron offers an..."are you ok" from his computer every now and again..Gary pops his head around the door, ready to run, as he asks, can I get you anything and looks relieved when I say No thank you Aaryn has got it covered.
At least out of 5 children, I have one who cares *sigh* *woe is me*..
OK I'm off back to my couch, my loving son has asked if he may have the computer and don't I think it's time I had a sleep and lookie here, another glass of ginger beer!!
who would have thought that was good for dehydration LOL shame I can't have any Frangelico in it, that would make me sleep!
Had a bit of a play with the camera, haven't used it very much, had too much going on in my head! but here's a few pics i took in & around the garden ! I'm sure with practise I will get better!!
Nothing sweet about me!!!!!!
I am having problems with a particular Anonymous IDIOT who likes to leave stupid and rude comments, this idiot is obviously a subscriber to my blog as IT gets in as soon as it hit bloglines and leaves ridiculous comments that are just RIDICULOUS i guess lol.
SO, rather than have the IDIOT comment further on the 3 posts that i have had to delete, I just found it easier to delete the whole post rather than IDIOTS comment IYKWIM...
Is there a way of making blogs private so that even though you are subscribed you have to log in to see them? I think there is, I just have to work it out! Any ideas? email me! ta muchly.
You will be able to read the deleted posts if your subscribed through bloglines but if not..well, you've missed out! unfortunately, you wont be able to comment on them..
although, must say, if you are a subscriber, mr/mrs idiot, i would like you to unsub now as I don't like the idea of someone like YOU reading this blog..you have had your 5 minutes of fame, now piddle off and go somewhere else..perhaps...the arctic??
oh gosh i am so dumb...i can turn on comment moderation...having a senior moment LOL will try that!
Boy where has the time gone? Spring has sprung and with it, renewed energy and a clean house! It's not quite 10.30am and already the house is sparkling clean, cleansed from top to bottom it helps having a tiny house sometime lol so I have no excuse for not catching up with blog news. It's going to be long, so grab a coffee and get comfy or just press the x if you cant be bothered to stay. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED lol

MY NEW DSLR
Yes I know, this should have been first LOL but sometimes you just have to put others before yourself LOL.
She's finally here, my new DSLR the Canon 1000D, looking very beautiful in her camera bag, that the gorgeous young man at Camera House gave me for being nice LOL he gave me heaps of free stuff, such lovely boys they are in there, and cute too!!!
We trotted off to Yaroomba beach yesterday to have a play with the new baby, oh yeah, got the kids some exercise too i guess, we didn't stay too long as miss Emily decided she wasn't well and had a bit of a temperature, we got back to Hayley's and madam was asleep in less than 3 minutes of hitting the front door.
Here are some pics taken with the new camera, bearing in mind that it was the first time i had actually used the camera and i can only get better! I'm so in love with this camera!
this pic shows miss emily sitting on the beach all forlorn, behind her is Maroochydore, you cant see it, it's right there on the horizon, which is very hazy due to weather!
zoomed in, I was standing in the exact same spot, I just zoomed in..and not all the way either! this is Old Woman Island, just off Maroochydore beach! it looks like a huge whale!
Maroochydore, zoomed in... see there really is something there!
a man, playing with his kite.... he was having fun, and I was
having fun stalking him LOL
Gary, who didn't know I was taking his photo as I was far away!
Hayley too! Gotta love being paparazzi!!
I like Chinese!! or is he Japanese?? This is
Bruno, one of Bonnie's pups..so cute!
We were at the beach for 30 minutes and I only managed to take 137 photos, tut tut!
I'm off outside now to take some shots of the garden and to play around with different settings...I am loving having a rare day off!!
