coffee at 5 p.m....

and this mama could not go to sleep last night!  and when i finally was tired enough to sleep, i started coughing...and once i stopped coughing and fell asleep, i had HORRIBLE nightmares :/  good times...

it was around 4:00 p.m. yesterday, and i hadn't had coffee and def feeling it!  so, i went out for a small vanilla latte.  4:30 i have coffee in hand, but it's too hot.  so, i arrive home, chat w/ the neighbor (which i never do), got the girls inside, got them settled (snacks, drinks, scratch their back ;)), i realized it was 5:00 and i had maybe one sip of my coffee.  do i dare drink?  yes!  i did.  anywhoooo, the caffeine helped and i  started playing "catch-up" on this and that from my days of being sick w/ a man-cold (ha, that's for mr. dandy!).  so, around 11:00 p.m. i'm lying in bed and on my iphone...i'm on facebook and there's talk about the lemon tree and how i still have an hour to try and win some sweet giveaways!  the lemon tree is a group of fun, creative and stylish young ladies who offer services in party planning, styling, and all sorts of neat things!  and their fun giveaway was def a reflection of their great style!  so, there i was tweeting, facebooking, liking, copying, yada-yada-yada.  my point is they're EXTENDING the deadline until midnight tonight...

so go on, try to win some lovelies :)

and let's just pray sandy dandy gets a good night's rest tonight!!

ugh...

i feel like it's been one thing after another w/ me!!  this time i'm recovering from a sinus infection gone REALLY bad...so bad, i felt like i had the flu :(  i got smart this time and went to the dr sooner than later ;)  i'm on the mend now, and i wanted to share a great FREE app for any fellow allergy sufferers out there!

it gives you the day's allergy forecast (low, medium or high) and tells you what pollen is predominantly present.  it even gives you a 4 day forecast where you can find a "cold-n-cough index level", and if you suffer from asthma, there is an index level for you, too!  pretty nifty, huh?

thankfully, mr. dandy has been an AWESOME caretaker for me and the girls!  i was able to rest as much as i needed while he completely took over all parental duties :)  the girls enjoyed playing outside a lot.  i heard them laughing hysterically while i was lying in bed so i got up and looked out the window to see this...

no allergies here ;)
