The flu shot has done me in

Hey all,
Remember how much I said I thought the flu shot was the stupidest thing in the world and I wasn't getting one? And then remember how everyone hounded me because I'm having a baby and it was like endangering my fetus to not get one?
So then we went to the doctor and I got gulilted into getting one?
Well now I have some form of death. I blame Seth, and my doctor, and that hacky guy with six kids in training yesterday. My doctor said to stay away from public places and rest because my immune system would be weak, so I went into a small tiny room with no windows and freezing air conditioning and four very sick looking people.
Anywhoo, keeping in tradition of me not being able to write much without my head exploding-here is some pictures of what I'm dealing with today cat wise-
Willowis giving me the sorry you are dying but I'm still going to be naughty look:

Bags doesn't care, unless I have ham...

Alright here's hoping I'm in full form on Monday. My bank account and husband would sure appreciate it.

Love (to not have a head removing headache),
Carrie

Oh just because since I've started this new job so I have no sick pay so I'm not getting paid for these days off. And when a pack n play is like 200 bucks you tend to panic about money every now and then...

Maybe you should go and register for the baby stuff you want so your wonderful friends and family can start shopping for you : ) You can also get amazing deals from people selling baby stuff that they didn't really use! I hope you feel better soon..... ~Jenny M.

About me

An almost daily blog of Carrie's ramblings that come from her baggage in life. Carrie lives with her disgustingly smart husband, amazing daughter bulldozer son and two Bengal cats in Colorado Springs. She is an avid reader and an obsessive television watcher. She loves to travel, sleep, snuggle and generally be friggin awesome. She suffers a smartphone addiction. She makes inane pop culture references. She hopes one day someone will give her a talk show where she talks about all the tv she watches, gossip she reads about on the internet, and life observations she has. Comments and followers make me blog more frequently, its a guilt thing.

Things you should know:

Hi All!
My name is Carrie and this is my blog-I know, you are so excited.
Please feel free to leave your comments below, but if you want to contact me directly, shoot me a line at
carriehellbusch (at) gmail dot com
I think that's the fancy way everyone does it so they don't get spam.
And please don't send me mean things. That would just make me delete this whole section and it took me like 15 minutes to figure out how to put it on here. I didn't say I was a wiz at computers, I just married one-and he's busy trying to create Skynet...
Love (to ramble incessantly),
Carrie

About the Kidtens

I have two Bengal Cats-Bagheera and Willow. Willow is the girl and the spotted snow and Bagheera is the boy and the spotted dark. They are fixed so we can't breed them-my Pops is still mad at me for that. I would love to tell you about my breeder, but they were pretty horrible and apparently don't exist anymore. This could be because Bengals are illegal in Omaha (I live in Omaha's Sarpy County, which is not Omaha, it's an SID) or because they had 26 cats in a tiny corner of the basement stacked on top of each other.

Willow was actually our second choice in snows. We decided to get two because Bengals are notoriously active and we didn't want one to get lonely and eat our house while we were gone. Willow gets smarter every day. She recently figured out how to turn on the sinks, which bodes well with her love of water. She loves Seth more than anything, but has been known to cuddle with me too when I'm sad. She's a sweet girl. She also will NOT SHUT UP. If you wonder what a conversation with a cat is like, come chat with Willow. Willow is also known as Willow Bee, the Beezus, and Pretty Kitty.

Bagheera is your typical boycat. He sleeps with us most nights and we have worked out a "snacks for snuggles" barter system. He gives you love on his terms. Bagheera was born with a bad right back leg. The breeders told us that he broke it in the womb because there was too many kittens in the litter. The vet told us that he didn't know a thing about it until days later. So far he uses it like peg leg and it doesn't bother him at all. We talked to the vet about getting it fixed but the vet says the way he uses it, like a pirate, it wouldn't heal properly and he still would try to use it like he does. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't bother him so we are cool. The breeders told me they were going to put him down because they couldn't sell him and the price of the "surgery" would outweigh his "value". I practically snatched him and ran. They gave him to me for free. He has an amazing coat-show quality. I wonder if there is a cat show special olympics... Bagheera is also known as Baggy, Bags,Doots, Stinky Boy Kitty, and Buddy Bear.

Anyway that's me, Carrie-patron Saint of lost causes and handicats.
