Today's Thoughts

1. I have some super cute pictures of Emma and Noah getting what the Easter bunny brought to them, but I can't post them, because somehow.. sometime between last night and tonight, my cord that connects my camera to my computer, which allows me to download my pictures has been misplaced... grrrrrr... I am so highly irritated by this! This beach house is spotless right now because I have cleaned and gone through and looked underneath and inside of everything in here.. to no avail.. still no cord...



2. We had Easter dinner today at Carrabba's... it was quite yummy and quite untraditional.



3. Noah liked the beach this morning until the water swept underneath him as he was crawling, thus soaking his shirt and swim trunks with freezing cold water. He was pretty much over the whole beach thing at that point. I also have super cute pics of him, which I cannot post....



4. I posted more adorable pics of Emma from last night when we first arrived, please go see them on my gracie james photography blog!!! ~and COMMENT!!! :)~



5. I'm very much hoping my GIRLS come see me with their childrens this week while we're here at the beach.... I'm gonna be so sad if we don't get to hang out... :(


6. My new speedlight that I found on ebay came in the mail just in time for this beach trip and I'm so IN LOVE!!!



7. My dermatologist gave me a prescription for prednisone ( a steroid) to help rid me of this horrible rash and it does seem to be getting somewhat better. However, he also suggested to me that my Ambien could be the root cause of this rash. I have to tell you, this is so disturbing to me! I have been a horrible sleeper my whole life. Like, I'll lay there wide awake tossing and turning with my brain going 5 million miles an hour thinking of everything in the universe that I could possibly think of for hours before I finally fall asleep, then I always wake up at least twice to pee... and it'll take me 30 minutes or longer to fall back to sleep after that.. and when I'm pregnant.. well, I really don't sleep at all, because as soon as I lay back down from peeing, I have to pee again. Anyway, with Tony being gone, every little noise convinces me that someone is breaking in about to kill us all, so I really don't sleep. Therefore, my doctor gave me a prescrip for Ambien. On Ambien.. I sleep like an absolute DREAM. It's amazing. I take it, within 30 minutes, I'm OUT and I stay out. However, I do wake up if Emma or Noah cry out for me or anything, so it doesn't turn me into a rock or anything. But I did start taking it pretty regular about the same time that this rash starting getting bad. So I'm really wondering if he's right. This possiblity makes me and my sleep so sad. :(



8. I bought this wine at the grocery store last week, just because I thought the bottle was really pretty and it would look cool in my kitchen. Has anyone actually ever drank this stuff? If so, can you tell me if its good? I'll open it and drink it if it's good, but if not, it'll just remain a kitchen accent..



9. I have eaten Mexican food 4 times in the past week. This can't be good for my dream of losing 30 pounds in a month.



10. I really like Aveeno products. They have made having this nasty rash so much more bearable. These are the ones I have and use like crazy... Oh, and I put those colloidial oatmeal packets in my bath water. This stuff is so amazing. I swear some of these creams work just as well or even better than the prescription creams my doctors have given me. I highly recommend these if you ever get lucky enough to have a cool rash like me... or just itchy skin...


11. I'm gonna be a rebel and end this blog on an odd number. Emma has taken to saying the word "mines" lately rather than saying "mine". I was an English teacher. I can't handle things like this. We speak proper English in our house as often as possible. When the "s" on the end of "mines" escapes her lips, a shiver runs the length of my body, my eyes squeeze shut, and my hands clench tight. I tell her... Emma.... "MINE... MINE!!!" And she immediately corrects herself, "Sorry, Mom, MINE." But like clockwork, she says it again. I do not know where she picked up this horrible word. She has such good English otherwise. It KILLS me!! She is not around people who speak like this.

Anyway...

Oh I am so sorry about your Ambien issue. I love Ambien! I only take it when Dave is away because for some reason I can't sleep without him. I don't know if it is because I don't like sleeping alone or like you, all the noises creep me out. Who knows, but I but I wouldn't sleep without it!
