Woo Hoo!

The power was out today at work, so we were cut loose at 11am. I had a great day with Youngest-more tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

Wicked Burn (Thanks Work Friend)

Me: Do we have any good cigarettes? This one tastes like my butt.

Hubbs: How do you know what your butt tastes like?

Me: Cause I kiss you on the lips.

Hubbs: Ooh, you're quick.

Trippin'

I just had the weirdest moment. I'm at work, on the phone speaking to a woman from a local magazine, and I had this sudden realization (well, sudden may not be the right word-I am almost 40) that I'M AN ADULT. DOING GROWN UP THINGS. SPEAKING TO PEOPLE LIKE I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

It just felt so surreal, my God. I'm married, I have kids, grandchildren for pete's sake-and that exact moment was when it hit me.

I hope this doesn't mean I have to start acting (or looking) my age.

So....Tired.....

This stupid acid reflux has been interfering with my sleep. I wake up in the night with my throat on fire, drink a ton of water, fall asleep, wake up to pee, and then start all over.

The new medicine seems to be helping, as well as the fact that I didn't drink last night. I only woke up with fire throat once.

But, I am EXHAUSTED. I don't know why. I slept well last night, 6 hours in a row before finally getting up at 6. I could totally lay my head on my desk and have a nap.

It's not helping that the only work I have to do right now involves reading and thinking. Those are two things I don't like to do when I'm tired. Well, I never really like to think, as you have noticed if you read this site much.

Here's to one more restful night. (I hope)

Ouch Update

I was given samples of a stronger medicine, to be taken twice a day. If this doesn't provide any relief, I have to go for the esophageal scope.

Yuck.

Getting old sucks. I wish I could be one of those people who embrace every line, every wrinkle for the memories they bring me. But I feel like I'm at a weird in between age, where my body is starting to not co-operate, but I still feel young. And I'm just not ready to have gray hair and wrinkles, acid reflux and sleep disturbances.

Hopefully this medicine will work, and I can start obsessing about something else.

Happy Birthday

Today is Husband's birthday. We gave him gifts yesterday, and tonight we're having a nice dinner with a friend.

He loves his gifts, and he said yesterday that he has never felt so loved in his life. Things have been going very well between us, Youngest included.

It's nice to finally be able to relax in your skin, and not live like you're constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Husband is the best thing that has ever happened to me. There are no gifts in the world that equal the things he has given me. Love, stability, security, happiness-all the things I have never had before. I truly feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

I love you Husband. Happy Birthday.

Ouch

Stupid acid reflux. I don't know what's going on with me, but I haven't had a decent nights sleep in well over a week. My chest hurts, my throat is on fire, and I can't stop trying to clear my throat. Once again, I have a big ball of acid sitting in my chest.

Back to the doctor today. Hopefully she will give me some relief!
