Hi people! I haven't posted much lately..and in a few minutes...you'll know why.

First Random Thought-

My brother(s) in law and sister(s) in law and I don't really get along. Okay, actually it's one brother and his wife, that HATES me but the other 2 just acknowledges me because I'm married. (Long Story for another time) But, nothing makes me any madder, than sending a birthday card and gifts, christmas gifts, anniversary gifts and get NO, NONE, ZERO, ZILCH acknowlegment that we even sent the DAMN things! I think it's rude and insensitive..and one day when I get a backbone...no more presents from me!


Second Random Thought-

I am so freakin' tired. Good Lord am I tired. For the past week I can do nothing but sleep. My sleep schedule lately is..
2am until 8am-sleeping
8am-10am- awake
10am-2pm- fighting the tiredness
2pm-4pm- sleeping
4pm-6pm- awake
6pm-2am- fighting the tiredness

I am too tired to clean, cook, shop, talk on the phone, even watch my favorite shows. I don't know if it's something hormonally going on (whispers) cause my boobs hurt too...or if its the high dosage of Amoxil I am on (1800mg a day) but this is killing me!

Third Random Thought-

I wish my mom would stop sending stuff to me about adopting children overseas. With all the drs, and fertility treatments I have gone through...we don't have the $15,000 for adoption. Have yall heard of the phrase..Tapped out? Thats our checking account at this point. And our savings account? I refuse to touch, we may need it when we are old!

Fourth Random Thought-

Is it weird to find my hubby totally HOTTT when he is exercising at night?

Ok, we all know I listen to strange stuff. Sir Mix Alot? Well, Babys Got Back...and I love to "Bust A Move" because I have the "Right Stuff" and for those who thinks I don't well I can be "Ice Ice Baby"...but in the meantime.."Lets Talk About Sex" Okay, those are a few songs I listen to while I am fixing my hair and makeup in the bathroom (because I am cool like that) And I won't lie, I have a copy of the CD in my car too.

Anyway, today we were driving to Columbia, SC to meet some friends for breakfast (2 hr. drive for eggs! Yumm! NOT) So, Mr. was getting ready in the bathroom and I walk in..and what did I see??


Him DANCING and SINGING to New Kids On The Block's Right Stuff! Man O Man...if only I had my digital camera.

*WARNING* I am a mess tonight...depressed and crying...so you can either skip this and read..your choice!


You know what I want? I want to go back to the first week of our marriage. Why you ask? Because during our first week we were married everything was perfect. No bills, no responsibilities..nothing. I didn't have high blood pressure or diabetes. Mr. didn't have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. We were both 30-50 lbs lighter. We were happy. We didn't want children at that time. I had no idea what PCOS was. I never knew what it felt like to hear the dr. to say you were pregnant. I never knew what it felt like to go through a miscarriage..twice. I didn't know we would ever argue.

Through the 4 years we have been together has been really rough. We have gone through alot of things together and I guess that means alot. No, I KNOW that means alot. Mr. is my best friend...someone I can always count on. Of course, I wonder did he know what he was getting into? Did he know I was going to be sick? Did he know I would never have his children? Did he know we would be having sick parents? Sometimes I feel he should just walk away and never look back at all our troubles. I wish things were different.

I know people tell me that you have to deal with what you care given. But why was I given this? What did I do? As I sit here tonight, I can't hear in one ear, hormones are all over the place, glucose levels are going bonkers and all I can do is cry.

And.

All he can do is rub my back and let me cry and tell me he could have never picked a better friend.

I heard the most beautiful words today..wanna know what they are??

It's not gonna last forever

Yep, thats what my dr. told me about my hearing loss! Somehow the cut on my eardrum wasnt healing quick (could have something to do with me having diabetes) And through all of this there is MAJOR fluid backup in my ear. So, after he saw that he wanted to make sure my sinus' were okay..so he sprayed stuff up my nose.

Um..I dont pick my nose for a reason..I don't like stuff UP my nose!

He left the room and came back in 10 minutes later and said..

Dr: Is your nose numb?

Me: No.

Dr: Is your teeth numb?

Me: Nope, why should they be?

Dr: Well in most cases the medicine I sprayed in your nose numbs people...

Me: (interrupting) Um..if you are going to cause me pain, you might want to spray some more..I can wait! (saying this with a panic look on my face.

Dr: Nah, you SHOULD be fine

Then he pulled this HUGE wire thing out with a lightbulb on the end and sent it up my nose and down my throat. I. Thought. I. Was. Going. To. Die.

So, after everything was said and done. I still have a small opening on my eardrum and because of that the fluid my eardrum has retracted back into my ear (reason why I can't hear) So, he gave me some meds to get rid of the fluid hopefully..I see him in 10 days. If the fluid is NOT gone then he will have to go back in my ear and CUT a piece of my eardrum to drain the fluid. I am SO praying the fluid goes away...that numbing stuff he has..SUCKS!

Tomorrow at 9am I have my appointment with the Ears,Nose,Throat doctor. It has been a very difficult 2 weeks. I still can't hear in my right ear, at all. I am very embarrassed to go out in public because if there is ANY background noise at all, I can't hear what people are saying. So, I have been staying in my house which is really depressing. I am hoping I get some sort of good new tomorrow...but since it's been 2 weeks without any hearing..I don't see it getting better..but I have been wrong many times before! So, I will update when I know something...please keep me and my ear in your thoughts tomorrow!

My husband gets up every morning at 4:20 and he's ALWAYS out the door by 5:15 so he can beat the traffice onto the nuclear site. This morning I woke up at 6am and he was still sleeping! I freaked! I started screaming and jumped out of bed, telling him to get up he's late and I will fix his breakfast while he gets dressed. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! I was like a mad woman! I ran to the kitchen..ok I walked really fast...and I started making toast and poured his orange juice. Finally, he walked in and said...

"Todays is Presidents Day, I'm off."

He never told me. We usually go to Charleston or Savannah when he has a long weekend..but he never said anything! So, we went back to bed and left everything in the kitchen...man it was nice to sleep in with him this morning.

All day today, my glucose level has been over 200! Normally, it's always under 90 except when I eat, but it comes right back down.

This. Is. Not. Making. Me. Happy.

At. All.

Last time my glucose levels were like this, I was pregnant, it happened twice. I am 99 percent sure that I'm not pregnant, and if I am it's not a good sign because they feel like that's why I miscarry. (glucose levels going too high)

Since, I am fairly sure it's not pregnancy, the only other thing I can think of is infection. I do hope something isn't going on in my ear that is making my glucose levels bonkers...good grief!

I found something out tonight I didn't know about myself...when a woman comes and asks MY husband to dance, I always thought I would let it be known he's MY husband...but instead? I laugh and take pictures!

Well, ladies and gents, it's not good. She took a look in my ear, and the eardrum she saw last week all shriveled up, it's no longer there. NOT. THERE. Well, I asked her where did it go, and she really didn't have an answer for me. As far as my ear and side of my face feeling numb around my ear, I probably caused nerve damage. So, when I asked her if my hearing would come back, she wouldn't answer me..she just said I needed to talk to the ENT Dr.

Im sitting here in tears, what if it doesnt come back? Am I going to have to spend the rest of my life with numbness and loss of hearing? The only think I can hear is my voice echoing..nothing else.

Today, I switched from CVS over to Walmart for my prescriptions, mainly because mother-in-law works in the pharmacy and she can just bring home my prescriptions, yes, I am that lazy. Anyway, the woman was talking to me and I just walked off...I swear to God I didn't even hear her talking to me. After my mother-in-law told her what was wrong, she wasn't as offended...see? my worst fear is coming true..already!

Off to my own pity party..yall want to come? bring the cake!

I haven't told anyone about this for the following reasons:

1- It's a little embarrassing
2- Thought it would go away

After surviving an abusive first marriage, several miscarriages, many broken bones and multiple stiches and staples..I'm not one to worry or be scared easily. Until now, I haven't been scared but I am now.

Two weeks ago, I came home Friday night from drinking a little, ok maybe more than a little, and my ear was itching. I was thinking it could be sinus problems, since I have been having them off and on since Thanksgiving, but I took a qtip to try and clean out my ear. Bad, Bad idea! I don't know how far down I went but I woke up Saturday morning with the worst pain! So, I whined around most of the day taking tylenol over and over and over. Pain was still there and then Sat. night I lost my hearing! Lost it! So, sugarpuss decided I needed to go to the ER, which normally I am totally against, but the loss of hearing and the pain convinced me to go. After waiting several hours, I was told I had cut my eardrum and it was bruised too. When I asked the ER doctor if my hearing will come back, she told me "it should" but you might want to see your dr. on Monday. So, I saw my dr. on monday and she said my eardrum looks awful, and gave me some eardrops for infection. She also said if my hearing doesn't come back to call her. So, last Thursday I was still deaf, so I went to see her. This time she said the cut was healing nicely BUT she said where the average persons eardrum is smooth like saran wrap mine is like crumpled up paper. NOT GOOD! So, she told me to keep up with the eardrops and said hopefully it will fix itself. When asked about my hearing I was told "im not sure if it will come back..but it should" So, I am on my way to see her again today. Its been 2 weeks and I am totally deaf in my right hear. She said more than likely she will refer me to a ENT doctor. So, I am scared to death that my hearing won't come back! The pain is gone but the constant embarrassment so constantly saying "Huh?" is getting to me! Wish me luck!

One of my gifts that Sugarpuss gave me was a scent stories player by Febreeze. We plugged it in and it started blowing the scent out...he kept picking it up and looking at it...I tried to ignore him.

Sugarpuss: It's not working.

Me: Yes it is..smell it?

Sugarpuss: It's not making any noise.

Me: Yes it is..hear the fan blowing?

Sugarpuss: When does the music start?

Me: (Ignoring the stupid question)

Sugarpuss: I think we need to return it.

Me: (still ignoring him, but loving the smell)

Sugarpuss: What songs are on the disc and when does it start playing music?

Me: Oh good God! It doesn't play music...it plays scents.

Sugarpuss: As in the same damn thing that's in all those bottles we have in the cabinet?

Me: You got it!

Sugarpuss: So, where is the music?


OK, I married a nuclear engineer, but somehow he still hasn't grasped this thing. Poor boy, is still waiting on the music to start! Wonder when he's gonna figure it out??

Okay, it was more of a wax and a haircut..but whatever.

I decided to get my haircut yesterday and Carla took off about 4-5 inches..and when I was walking out I was very proud of my hair..it was cute. Even, last night as we were sitting around with some friends, they all complimented my hair, it felt nice.

My hair yesterday I was loving..this morning? Not so much.

WTG Steelers..Job Well Done!

I hate Super Bowls. Hate? Yep! Hate! Normally every year Mr.TSB and I cheer for the same team, simply because I never really know who is playing, and couldnt care less.

But..

This year. HIS Steelers are playing! HIS! HIS! Somehow, he can always squeeze in the fact HIS Steelers are playing in the Super Bowl in any conversation. For example...

Normal Human: Today has been really bad. I have been sick for a week.
HIM: Oh yeah? Too bad. Know whats good? MY Steelers are playing in the Super Bowl.

Normal Human: I think I want a bowl of chicken noodle soup for lunch! MMMMM!
HIM: Speaking of bowls of soup..MY Steelers are playing in the Super Bowl! MMMMMMM!

The list can go on and on. For 2 days now he was worn black and gold. Right now he has on a Steelers sweatshirt and hat. For all the steeler fans, sounds great right? Wrong!

This year I decided I was going to cheer on the Seahawks! Why? Good question! Because this is their first time to the super bowl and because I am cool and all...I feel the deserve the trophy (they do win trophys right?)

HE called me a stupidhead and is secretly hoping that they get stomped! *sighs* Let the game begin.......
