the last 48 Hours...or what i remember of them...

The good thing about pain...

the pain KILLERS. ahhh...yes...

sweet delirium.

No idea of whether you're coming or going...

or what that nice lady with the pink smock is doing in your arm...

or what that red stuff is doing coming out of your arm....

it is GRAND!!!

Spent most of Friday morning in the emergency room...which i've noticed is no longer abbreviated ER. it's now ED. at first i kept thinking, "WHY are they abbreviating what has been known in over 100 years as the EMERGENCY ROOM the SAME abbreviation for Erectile dysfunction?!?!"

The Emergency Department (as it is now called), was actually nice. i had my own room, with a TV (so that Jacob could watch the rest of the Caps game), and my own light switch so i could turn the lights off and sleep for 30 minutes, or until the nurse came to get my vitals....again.

The best part of the....morning...was actually NOT the heated blankets they gave us...although that did help! it was the pain killers! i felt like my innards were exploding (which, in fact, they were) and not only did they "take the edge off"...but i could've been run over by a bus at high speed, placed under a 40 car train, then dropped off the side of the grand canyon, and still i would've felt no pain.

OHHHHH SWEET DELIRIUM!

the coming off of said meds, however, made me felt like i was hit by a moving bus, placed under a 40 car train, and dangling off the side of the grand canyon.

I know in the last 48 hours, i received lots of text messages and maybe phone calls, but i honestly can't remember. and if you are one of these people who messaged me in some fashion, but have not heard from me. just remember....i was busy dangling off the side of the grand canyon. i apologize! your well-wishes are appreciated!! :o)

ok...

really.

now.

sooo over it.

we've all had the stomach flu this week.

Matthew started it...

and i'm ending it.

test post

Omg!! Here I am at work playing on the nookcolor...and I can blog! Woot!! I REALLY want one now!!!!

just wanted to share.

Garfield is my FAVORITE comic/cartoon. BUT not the new Garfield, where it's live animation. No, no, no, no. It HAS to be the original cartoon with "Garfield and Friends." The pigs and the farm animals aren't really my favorite part, but the story line and the voices are what I remember from my childhood. And therefore, the new live animation Garfield will never do.

Here's to 2011!

This year I resolve:

• to be a better wife
• to be a better mother
• to be a better human.

This year I strive:

• not to hold grudges
• to let go of the grudges i currently hold
• to stop pretending that I'm ok
• to stop settling for mediocrity when I know i'm called to something greater
• to stop letting people get to me.

This year my goal is:

• to write more
• look at options for schooling
• drink less
• smile more.
• drink more water

If I never achieve my resolution (which by definition i will never achieve), i can at least STRIVE. if i want to stop striving, i can never get to my goals....and my goals are pretty easy....so...i'll just keep on striving.

Happy 2011! May the next year bring happiness, joy, hurt, and love. Joy for when happiness doesn't seem to cut it; hurt to appreciate the happiness; and love to remind us why we are happy and joyful!

::WHEW:: i finally have a minute...

exhausted

it has been the house of sickness here.

i started it off with a cold: runny nose, cough, sore throat...the works.

Matthew started next with the cold, assuming he got it from me, which then turned into an ear infection and pink eye in both eyes.

then i took over on saturday evening/sunday morning with a severe sore throat. Jacob took me to the hospital and they gave me a prescription for strep.

5 days later, my throat is still sore, and i've developed a cough. i'm told to gargle cough syrup and spit it out (the crazy things you do when you're breast feeding), run a humidifier in our bedroom (which would be great, but we only have one, and the baby takes precedence over me), or i can chew half of a mucinex.

i am sooo ready for this to be over!!
