Day 16, Vomit and Mosquito’s

16 days without a cigarette
I will admit that I tried to take a puff yesterday and it made me sick. I actually started dry heaving. So, I guess I really am done. In my book there is nothing worse than vomiting. I will go to great lengths to avoid it and when I can’t avoid [...]

My jokes are "tragic"

“Enough of your tragic jokes.”
This from the mouth of my 3 year old cousin who is absolutely amazing. My little Mensa. I could write an entire page on the one liners that she spattered out over the weekend. Instead I want to say how much I love these children, Christian and Grant. It is a [...]

Leemer and the Starbucks drive-through.

I will blog about our experience babysitting Christian and Grant soon. For now, I had to share this chunk of Leemer gold. As a thank you for babysitting, my cousin Hollie gave John and I a gift certificate to Starbucks. We decided to put it to use tonight. It is never a dull moment [...]

Slurpees, Cookies and Body Hair

My week long bout with the death sickness is winding down. I felt good yesterday, today I feel great. Good thing, I have a full agenda in the days ahead. Saturday night John and I are babysitting my little cousins Christian, age 3 and Grant, 7 months. God I love those kids. I can’t wait [...]

Day 9 and I Want To Punch Somebody

Day 9 without a ciggarette folks and I am not ashamed to say that I would slice any one of your throats if you were holding one right now and refused to give me a drag.
Sigh.
Yep, the real struggle begins. And while yes, James, I did “give birth” I cant really take credit for that. [...]

Smoking, Harry Potter and Belly Dancing

I miss my husband. Since I quit smoking he has been going to the garage to partake…thus, being the heavy smoker he is he has basically been living in the garage. I think I saw him a total of 20 minutes yesterday. Yep, it sucks. I am not at the point to where I can [...]

7 Days Without My Ciggs!

It has been 7 days since I have smoked. Being sick has helped some, but the cravings have been there none the less. John has been going outside to smoke, which has helped out tremendously.
I am so ready to be rid of it forever. It is just too expensive and even though it has only [...]

When your sliding into first and you feel a big burst…

I’m laying here in bed, the sickest I have been since the last time I was sick. Coleton says that every time I get sick “It’s the worst ever.” I can actually prove this time, is the worst.
Yesterday I woke up running fever and feeling like death. I had two appointments in Dallas that I [...]

Things I Survived Without Help From Lawmakers

Last night I found a note in my cigarette pack from my 8 year old. It read…
“Mom and John please stop smoking, seriously.”
I questioned Kyle as to why he left the note. His response shocked me. It seems that during his summer day camp they had a guest visitor from the American Lung Association who [...]
