What a Week!!

Oy what a week!  Mommy needs a drink.  Wait, I have one.  Never mind.


The week prior to this one was glorious.  I got to drive up to Dallas to be on Texas Living with my friend Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, who is an excellent host and has a fun and fabulous show.

The interview can be seen here.
 
 
Then my husband, El Rey, scampered off to Houston on a Sunday.  I hate when he leaves on a Sunday, and I suspect he does it to get out of Casa de la Hersch.  Here is where he was:
 
St. Regis, Houston
 
Then he left "on business" for here :
 
 
I think he partied like a rock star.  I know he partied like a rock star.
 
Meanwhile, back at Casa de la Hersch, my daughter had a fever for six straight days.  I took her to the doctor FOUR times, and it was like an episode of House to figure out what she had.
 
 

Like House, but not sexy and without the vicodin.
 
 
Fortunately I have watched almost enough medical shows as I have watched Law and Order, and on the SIXTH day of fever I demanded a chest X-ray, another CBC, and various other tests.  I did not have to order a tox-screen as she is only 10 and a goody-goody (thankfully).
 
 
 
My daughter had pneumonia!!!



 
 
I was grateful for this diagnosis, as I was so scared that she had cancer.  Note to self : never again ask the doctor if your child has cancer in front of the your child.  Big mistake.
 
 
She has been fever free for three days and I am over the moon.  Three cheers for anitbiotics!!  Really, there is nothing more important that the health of your children.  Cliche, but true.
 
After days of worry my week got better.  My pillows are on sale at One Kings Lane
 
 

 
My newest cocktail napkin came in and is available here.
 
 
And guess where El Rey went today?  Yep, he was on Birthday Party Duty!!!!!
