My Blog is the Internet's Version of My Diary
I have been dealing with menopausal symptoms for years now and the hot flashes and the night sweats are driving right up the wall. My sleep has been greatly disturbed by this horrible condition and the doctors have tried so many types of sleeping pills, but none so far have done the job. A few have really knocked me out, but the next day is Hell and I can’t deal with that very often – that is for sure.
It is sad but true that the bed bug is making a come back in these past several years. My daughter has a friend whose mother called me very upset a few months ago. They were finding marks on their bodies that looked like insect bites and were driving themselves crazy with all the itching and scratching going on and wanted to know if our daughter was experiencing the same things. I’m glad to say that my daughter was doing just fine, but I urged the mother to take the kids to the doctor to find out for sure.
Well it appears that they were experiencing a case of the bed bugs and wanted me to be aware of what it was so as to keep my eyes open just in case my daughter started itching. Her daughter and my daughter spend a lot of nights at each others houses and it would really suck if my daughter had brought the little buggers home with her.
Between bed bugs and head lice we are all in trouble. These critters are becoming more and more tolerant of the chemicals that are being used to kill them and they really are causing havoc all over the country, as well as around the world.
It seems that more people in my immediate family are experiencing some type of sleep issues. My one sister was just diagnosed with Narcolepsy and is no longer able to drive for fear of falling asleep while being behind the wheel. This has made a huge impact on her and her family that they are trying to adjust to upon hearing the news. My other sister has never been able to sleep at night so she has always been a night person that has no problem sleeping during the day light hours. I haven’t had a good night sleep since the day that I became a mother!
Our mother has recently been experiencing problems sleeping and has decided to shop for an organic mattress boston style that she found online at an organic mattress store. I myself had never heard of an organic mattress but I’ve been reading up on the subject and I’m liking what I’m hearing.
When we finally get all of our paperwork together here at the house (hopefully by the end of the month) we are going to get our taxes done. I’m sure that we will be getting a good amount of money back again this year and on the top of my list is going to be an organic mattress. Check out what thecleanbedroom.com has to say about these Natural Latex and Organic Cotton Mattresses, you might just learn something.
If she wasn’t my BFF (Best Friend Forever) for well over 30 years, a friendship that first got it’s start somewhere literally decades ago back in the fourth grade, I’d been green with the type of jealously that the female population is so “well-known for” acting out on . Usually acted out in some type of negative way that is considered acting like a drama queen within a very wide spectrum of levels and angles that has the potential to mystify even the best Geometrist.
I’m speaking of the plans (that she sent me all the links and info to via email) that she and her “new guy” have come up with to celebrate their first Valentine’s Day together, as a couple. It is so cool to see her so happy and excited with a guy that so far has proved himself to be of good character, has a wonderful sense of humor and appears to be generally a good guy all the way around. All this and more for almost 10 months now. She hasn’t been and stayed in a relationship for this long in many, many moons. I’m so enjoying watching the whole relationship blossom, praying all through the way that there won’t be too many thorns on the rose that she is so totally enjoying right now.
I’m the first to admit that I know nothing (but am certainly open-minded to) about any of the “Fantasy Hotels” anywhere, much less the one that they have reservations for that is down in Florida – The jumps right out there at me and makes everything else around it a blur!
Generally I’d be sending her off with a “Good Luck” and make sure to take plenty of pictures. But I think I’ll be leaving off the photo request for this particular trip that will be a once in a life-time opportunity to have a blast!
Not feeling well today, so I think we’ll be staying in tonight. Hubby wants to order chinese food and get a movie. Sounds like a plan although I think chicken soup would be a better suggestion at this point.
Maybe a good night’s sleep and some vitamins will fight this off.
Wasn’t feeling well last night, thinking I just needed a good night sleep and would wake up feeling like myself again, but that is what I get for thinking!
Sent hubby to the store to pick up some cold medicine and something quick and easy for him to make supper for the kids if I’m not up to cooking this evening. Some chicken soup would be perfect. What a guy, he was going to do a side plumbing job for some friends this week-end, but promised me that he would call and see if he can do it next week-end, so that he can stay close to home to give me a chance to focus on feeling better. I need to get myself back on my feet before the work week starts, have a busy schedule planned and being sick is NOT on the schedule.
So happy to be blogging again, as you’ll soon find out I love to chit chat and talk about just anything. I even made a category called “anything,” because there is so much of that in this world of mine.
Made a fabulous dinner tonight that would have made any 5 star chef jealous. Served lobster and T-Bones along with salad and the usual side dishes.
After dinner, hubby and I got together and played the new game system together for a couple of hours. Then I did some cleaning around the house and put the prince to bed. About an hour later, we were all counting sheep.
