| i must stop this |
| 08.08.05 (3:44 pm) [edit] |
This is nutty; this having to start each entry apologizing for not writing. I'm saying that as much to myself; whether or not anyone reads me, it feels good to write just for me. So what must I stop? Let's tally what I've done to myself over the last several days: * Slammed my hand into the spinning ceiling fan in the kids' room while attempting to change the linens on the top bunk (from the ladder) and nearly breaking my right thumb and forefinger. And yes, I used the "F" word while my boys were in earshot, something I try extremely hard not to do. DH teases me for sounding like Donna Reed when I say things like "Oh, Fudge," or "Oh, goodness gracious." But this time, I let out a real, loud "FUCK!" Oops. * Found out that, according to my OB, I've only gained six pounds since my pregnancy's inception. She is not pleased, and would like me to gain at least another 10 lbs within the next three months or so. Luckily, the baby is just fine (had the ultrasound on Friday, more on which later), but baby is indeed sucking the life out of me. * Headache, oh, horrible headache. We have graduated in the Chicago area from Ozone Action Days to Air Pollution Warning days. It's not safe to breathe in Chicago, folks. But drink all the water you want! * Still very sick with the whole stomach thing. I have been, as much as possible, acting on my cravings when I have them. Except, of course, for the craving for an icy cold cosmopolitan capped with a few sunset martinis. Unfortunately, the cravings provide little indication whether my stomach will allow me to keep the food inside. I don't know how bulimics do it... that's the only eating disorder I could never suffer. * Slammed my left knee into my nightstand, causing blood flow -- something I try to avoid -- and significant amounts of pain. My poor kids were terrified, since they were both on my bed at the time. I'm pretty sure I laid a big "Damn it!" on them. At least I avoided the F-bomb this time. On the upside, I owe Almsie a huge thank you for the puffy package I got today, "Waiting For Guffman" is on HBO right now, and my boys are not actively beating the shit out of each other or screaming at this precise moment. So on the whole, I'd say I'm a lucky gal. ["Midnight At The Oasis," as butchered by Ron & Sheila Albertson] |

I'm directing this comment to the critter about 2 feet south of your noggin...
Please be nice to your mommy, OK?
Maybe playing some Wooden Smoke to your belly via headphones? Or Dancing!

What if Uncle Mike came over and played an acoustic set at my bedside? I bet that would help.
Did you know that Cinnamon was born to the strains of Wooden Smoke?

HEY I get your "now playing!" I saw enough of Waiting for Guffman last night and yelled THAT'S WHAT THEY MEANT!! Then I couldn't remember which blog I saw it on so I could come back and comment.
If I only had a brain...

I just love how they intertwined the General Foods International Coffees commercial with the most poorly covered song of the universe. Fake British accents and all; it was delightful.
That's just the best freakin' movie...

P.S. Danny was playing with his Fisher-Price garage on my bed while I was watching, so I quick switched the channel to something on HBO Family, and he protested mightily. He bounced up and down through the whole "Red, White and Blaine" musical. When the movie was over, he said "Again!!!"
Tee hee hee.

Waiting for Guffman is our absolutely FAVE mockumentery. We watch it nearly once a month.
"Why don't you get one of those vagina enlargements!?!" LOL!!
Gotta love Sheila and Ron. :0)

Horrible headache? If you have them often, demand a prescription for Fioricet. Available in a dirt-cheap generic, and I took it all through my pregnancy. Seriously. Puking is enough--it's not fair for you to have headaches too.

I LOVE that stuff! I get the big three-month mail-order pharmacy supply of Fioricet with Codeine (again, the generic). It's marvelous stuff for most all migraines. Luckily, I'm allowed to take it during pregnancy (though not recreationally, don't get excited). It's my saving grace.
Gotta love modern medicine! (Okay, except for some of the really creepy stuff.)
