Sunday Funday.

This weekend Whit broke out in this funky rash and we experienced our first : Sunday Afternoon In the Emergency Department.  I didn't really get good pictures to document the actual rash because I was too busy trying to talk myself down from internal images {of myself, the protagonist} cricoid accessing my child on the side of Hwy 74 in Monroe, North Carolina as his hypothetically edematous airway rapidly closed.

I didn't have to use any of my Trauma Nursing background but I was able to get the Triage Nurse to bump him to the front of line using hot button words like, "anaphylaxis",  "risk of acute respiratory distress", and "new-onset increasing airway edema." 

So we were in and out in a mere hour and a half after we ruled out augmentin allergy--shoot me in the face-say it ain't so because this will lead to my two year old requires vancomycin for his ear infections now, anxiety attack--to a viral erythema multiform--thank you Jesus--

Naturally he missed his nap and this is how he fell asleep on the way back to his Granna's house.

Wince


Did you know you could shop Forever 21 online?  Not that it's something I'd do and share with the general public, but still.  I'm also not one to buy $29 shoes {clarification: original price $29 shoes.  I'll pay the ish out of some $29 shoes.  That originally cost my weekly salary}. So Fiddle Dee Dee!

I digress.  I'd buy these $29 mint faux *wince* suede shoes from Forever 21.  Oh you wouldn't? 

Thank you to The Every Girl  for the heads up.

I think.

This weekend I will focus on getting my bonus room to make sense.  I think. 

{via}

I love this layout because my bonus room is very long-thus can accommodate both sofa and guest bed.   I would love to eventually have the room to be a cohesive multi-use room ie guest room/bonus room/feels like a little suite stay to out of towners/rather than confusing why is there all this random furniture in here and you want me to feel comfortable...? room.


{via}

 Dealing with a slight what do I do with all this furniture everything is pushed against the wall, kerfuffle.  I DO ENJOY! The console between the couch and the wall.  Because I DO ENJOY! texture and depth.


{via}
This is more styling of a console table in the event that it does not end up in between the sofa and the wall, rather just behind the sofa to kind of break up the room.

Beautiful vignette.

 More sassy style tips.  I just like to get my thoughts organized, people.  I've got quite a few display books that I'd like to put to use, ok?

I kind of just got of on a console styling tangent.  Which I've been guilty of before...

{via}

And my husband and I discussed possibly...ok I hate to type it...  A pull out sectional.  See how wonderful this feels?  Don't you want to chillax hurr? I just don't know that I can bring myself to such a commitment. 

In short: Wish me luck.
