sick and tired...literally

I went to work Wednesday and only made it till 11am. I left with a bad cough (I had no voice left) and a high fever. I only had a small cough when I arrived at work... I have spent since then in bed pretty much unable to move and unable to sleep from all the coughing, pounding headaches and fever. This was definitely the worst flu I have EVER had. I managed to drag myself to a walk-in clinic this morning and a chest xray showed bronchitis. I started antibitoics today and I am praying they kick in soon. I miss not being able to cuddle with the kids.

I will be back to posting once I am better.

recipes I've tried this week

What happened this week...Pablo was having issues with his eyes - burning sensation in behind his eyes. He went to see an opthamologist and the result was that he needs glasses - mainly for driving but he can wear them all the time if he wants (see pic after the recipes). First time Pablo has ever had less than perfect eyesight. Other medical news: Simon has an appointment for his next muscle test and a follow-up with his developmental pediatrician this week.

Since my sister gave me her old iphone last week, I finally got an instagram account. You can find me here. I added it to my sidebar along with my pinterest, twitter, etc. I am getting addicted to instagram like I am to pinterest. I love the creativity of it so I plan on adding photos regularly.

On to food stuff. Nothing terribly exciting was made this week. My favourite was a repeat recipe - sweet & spicy bacon chicken. I hate that I love bacon so much. This was made with mashed potatoes because you need something to put the sauce on...

Roasts were on sale at the grocery store and I found this recipe for slow cooker new england pot roast. Yummy and hearty.

The next two recipes were easy and not bad at all. Would I make them again? Probably not because they didn't wow me. Mexican pizzas and loaded philly cheesesteak baked potato.
