It's Alive

I am still alive.  Did you think I was a goner?

Busy, busy.  Had Savanna's 2 year old bday party this weekend, and it was FANTASTIC.  Will try to post photos later.

Broke out into hives once more because I didn't take Zyrtec for one night... obviously I cannot be hive-free without it.  You aren't supposed to drink alcohol whilest on Zyrtec, however I drank wine from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., AND took Zyrtec, and see... I am alive.  Yes, we served wine at the 2 year old bday party, how else can you get through the day after a night with only 3 hours of sleep.  Amber was a demon child all weekend - well, not all weekend.  She was terrific during the day, but when it was time to sleep past midnight, she turned into a demon.  She is apparently so sensitive about sleeping that she CAN.NOT sleep anywhere but home, but the little devil can take long naps during the day where-ever you put her.  Go figure, or don't because who tha hell knows.

Oh, and yes, that was drinking for 9 whole hours... I know - nuts, huh?  Really it was probably a glass of wine every 2 hours, I sipped - and ate ALOT.  I am practicing for my trip to Cancun in June.  Eat, drink.  Eat, drink.

Thank you Margaret Renkl

I love the author of this article entitled:

Motherhood: a changed brain, wisdom gained

Fabulous.  Sums me up 4-sure, and makes me feel better.  LOVE YOU! But I am not embarrassed by what I have become, I simply cannot remember shit or get much of anything done that doesn't involve the 2 little ones.

Savanna is saying "I love yous mommy" - talk about making your face hurt and the overflowing of warmth and love and amazement and wonderment and just... no words can fully capture the feeling.

I have lost another 2 lbs whilst being ill.  I am at my prepreggers weight, but I am full-'0-flab.  I need a serious deflabbing plan.  I am not going to concern myself so much with weight loss because I can wear a size 6, who would complain about that?  I'm guessing I need a strong workout plan with weights and a lean diet to tone up majorly. 

I have not had hives in 2 days.  The allergist doesn't know what caused it, thinks it is related to the Bronchitis, I may have adult onset asthma - which almost makes sense when I think back to some questions I've had about noises my chest makes when I get winded or take a deep breathe.  But - whatever.  No hives.  I am going to resume working out on Monday.  Balls to the wall, peeps.

Hive-o

Hell, I can't remember the last thing I wrote... but I keep getting hives.  I am living off benadryl.  If I don't take enough or take it soon enough - the hives come back.  I try to not take it, or I try to take less - doesn't work.  It is very annoying.  The benadryl is making me loopy, I can't think straight.  I am jittery, dizzy and out of sorts.

So what does my mother-in-law write to me?  "Just be happy."  Can I tell you the kind of pissed off that generates?  Ok, let me "just be happy" with hives all over my body and trying to function whilst on a benadryl drip, and trying to take care of kids whilst having bronchitis and hives.  Tomorrow will be the 3rd dr.'s appt to try and figure this out.  Yes-o-mighty - these are happy fucking times.  My workout plan is thrown out the window at this point, sweating causes more hives and more coughing.  So, yes, I can see how writing "just be happy" would be excellent fucking advice.  Next, I will save the world.
