I'm back!

I wrote a nice long post yesterday but something happened and the whole thing got deleted. At the time, I didn't feel like writing the whole thing over again. So here I am again.

Husband just called and told me that he will be staying another night up at work. He was gone last night too. I'm bummed. Mostly because it's Valentine's Day and I'm feeling sorry for myself. Oh well. We are supposed to go out Friday night to a nice dinner. I hope it works out.

I am finally fully recovered from that nasty stomach flu. I went from almost 115 lbs. to 111 lbs. in just a day and a half. I am still only at 112 lbs which is CRAZY because I have the WORST sweet tooth right now. I have been indulging that sweet EVERY night for the past week too! Things like strawberries with Nutella, rice crispy treats and s'mores have rounded out my night. You'd think I was pregnant or something - but I'm not. In fact, I am on my second cycle of NuvaRing and I must say I love it. It is so easy to use.

My mom really pissed me off last weekend. For some reason, I have a hard time admitting when my parents make me mad. Basically, she was supposed to watch my daughter for a couple of hours on Saturday or Sunday. She told me she wasn't sure if she could as she was still feeling ill (she caught our stomach flu). I said okay, just call me and let me know. Well, she never called and on Sunday night I called her and found out she was at the f'in casino. I was so mad and I let her know.

After much resistance, my mom started taking some Prozac. She has been struggling over the past year with feeling depressed. It is due to menopause and she has been trying all of the natural remedies but none of them have worked. I know she feels funny about taking an anti-depressant but you know, if nothing else works, you gotta do what you gotta do. Everyone deserves to be happy. I hope menopause does not have the same effect on me. Ugh.

My daughter seems to have made the transition to one nap. Contrary to what everyone says - it is NOT easier. I have to cram in dinner prep, cleaning, laundry, etc, with no break. Oh well. I have a great life and should not complain.

I am out of things to say......but I promise to try and blog more often.

oh I've so missed your posts! Its great to see you back online :)

Sorry that your hubby can't come home for Valentine's - that sucks :( But I hope you guys have a wonderful time making up for it on Friday - I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.

Yay for feeling better after the stomach flu - sounds like you guys had a really bad case of it...

Menopause must be really tough for some women (maybe most?) - I remember my mom going thru it in the late 80's and she was really moody and she had insane cold sweats. It felt like it lasted forever! But she never took anything for it though, I don't even know if anything was available - we lived on guam, so everything got there a little later back then. And wonder now, how much easier it would have been for her (and those around her) had there been something she could take.

I hope your mom feels better - keep us posted :)
