OMG, I just spent 112 on a 30 day prescription for Ambien, I took the first one at 9:45, that did nothing, figuring that maybe I just needed something stronger. I took another at 11:30 or so, then another at 12:30…. nothing aside from feeling a little weird in my tummy, like the pills are not dissolving or something. Grrr. this can not happen, I did not just spend that much money for nothing…. anyone have any ideas on why this is not doing anything? I am about to drink some coffee (that of all things relaxes me LOL) and maybe that will help these pills dissolve if that is what is happening…. grrrrr

Anyway, my horoscope today was right on, it was weird, as this is totally me, if I am not working towards something, I am not happy, be it blogging, researching, cleaning, anything, I hate to waste time, I want to be making money or in the research/planning phase of it at all times, so when I saw this, my jaw dropped! LOL

I got a great review from a friend online today, trying to help me figure out the categories I should be using on this blog, I wanted to thank him and give some link love, so thanks sooooo much for your help! JavaJunkie owns 3 websites, Writing Café–blog, Writing Space, and the Writing Journal. I really appreciated the help and got a HUGE chuckle out of your cookie reference!!

This blog is more organized than you think it is. It’s also more focused than you realize.

Title alone: I’m preparing for posts about kids and family. I’m also finding myself getting on the defensive because I just KNOW that reading about your perfectly cleaned and organized house is going to make me feel like inadequate crap. I’m betting that you cook with ingredients I’ve never heard of and your cookies never burn.

THEN I saw your banner and chucked all of that. I thought, “Oh! A MODERN housewife. Ok, I’m going to like this blog.”

I keep forgetting that, technically, I’m a housewife too, but when I hear that word I think of June Cleaver being way to freaking happy to clean in heels and pearls.

I will be putting your suggestions in use next week sometime when I revamp all the categories! Thanks again!

Well, I finally took the leap, I went to the doctor yesterday to find out the source of my energy problems. After blood tests for thyroid function and a 5 hour wait for the doctor he said I have some depression and insomnia. I was prescribed Lexapro and Ambien and we are still waiting on the results of the blood tests. We don’t have insurance, so the doctor visit costs us 65.00, the blood test were 55.00, and the medicine is going to cost us almost 160.00 for only about a months supply. Definitely not helping with the anxiety. But my hubby really wants to do it, even though it is so much money. We are picking up the prescriptions tonight… I hate spending money, but he is right, if this medicine makes me feel better, than I will be able to work more and it will be worth it. BUT, if this ends up not working and god forbid, making me feel worse, then we will have to try another med, and that can get expensive, I am scared to death of that. My mother went through several different ones when I was younger for her depression and I remember how hard that was on her, I am not sure what she is on now, but if I remember right she did say it is working out.

Hopefully I will get this issue under control, while I do not ‘feel’ depressed, I have all of the physical symptoms, tiredness, sleeping too much but at all the wrong times, no motivation, etc. I have tried several times to get a better sleep schedule with no avail, even tried to stay up for 2 days to be able to go to bed at a normal hour, even then I couldn’t sleep at night. So hopefully this ambien will help me sleep at NIGHT, so I can get things done during the day, and the Lexapro will help to feel more ‘up’ and motivated to get things done when I am awake. Lets hope anyway. I hate spending money like this on myself, but I can not get anything done otherwise.

Just wanted to share a picture of my freshwater tank, we recently moved it and changed out the gravel, as well as got rid of all fake plants and replaced with live ones, it is pretty bare right now until the live plants liven up some LOL

We are in the process of starting up a 10 gallon saltwater, called a nano reef, it is a special kind of tank made for 5-20 gallons that are mainly corals and reefs. I will be posting lots of pics once that gets going.
