My Fabulous Weekend Turned Sour…

Friday afternoon I left Tickfaw for a mini-vacation with Nikki. We had a hotel on Canal Street in New Orleans for Friday night. We spent our night reading magazines, watching tv, laughing, and of course talking. We ate dinner at my favorite spot, Slice and we finally went to sleep. Saturday, we spent our day window shopping on Magazine Street. I say window shopping because I of course can’t afford anything at those awesome stores but it was so much fun. We looked at every baby store we could find and found a great toy store. It was a fabulous weekend and I love my husband for making sure that Nikki and I enjoyed our time together. I don’t get to spend much time with Nikki so I value the time I get. Last night when I got home of course I was exhausted! We had spent the day walking out in the sun and I guess my pregnant body doesn’t last as long as it use too. Rich and I went grocery shopping last night and I ended up having to go sit in the car because my legs were killing me. Then this morning came after I tossed and turned and apparently even talked during my sleep. I woke up this morning feeling like death. To make matters worse, my allergies flared up and not only are they draining but my head was throbbing. I put myself together somewhat and went to the room to put my shoes on so I could leave for church. When I went to turn the lights off, I wasn’t paying attention and I stuck my fingers into the light socket. We bought new plates and haven’t got around to replace them yet. It sent a huge shock through my arm and I screamed so loud that my puppy ran back to check on me. At this point my fingers and arm were numb and I began to freak out. Which resulted in tears. (of course!) I put myself together enough to walk to church and went straight to Rich’s office where the tears began to overflow uncontrollably again. My sweet dear husband sat me down and got someone to cover my Sunday School class and walked me home. I cried for an hour or so until I fell asleep. What a day! It isn’t exactly how I planned on ending my wonderful weekend.  My hand and fingers are feeling better but the nose is still killing me.  And thankfully, my husband is replacing all of the light sockets tomorrow so that I won’t ever hurt myself again. I just thought I would share my bad day with ya!
