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 [...]

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 [...]

Leaving Las Houston

John and I are staying with my brother this week in Houston. For 15 years now I have watched the vicious cycle of alcoholism control his life. This is the first time however that I no longer see any glimpse of who he once was. He is gone now, completely.
Being here with him is like [...]

Optimus Prime Our Secret is Out!

I am flying out Saturday for Houston and figured that it would be smart to glance over the TSA’s website for permitted and prohibited items upon a flight. I dont usually have good luck on flights and the last thing I need is to be detained (again) for something stupid. So there I was, reading [...]

"Bite The Wax Tadpole"

On Sunday John and I went to eat lunch at The Super Chinese Happy Buffet…not to be confused with the Super Terrific Happy Hour. We have eaten there a few times but never while there was a crowd.
I swear it was like herding cattle into the sale barn. I was shocked at the behavior witnessed [...]

While I Am Here, Could Someone Fetch Me A Valium?

Funny how life gets in the way of blogging. I have been sitting on several entries but just couldn’t muster the initiative to finish any of them. Plus, I usually blog in spurts, so today might have 3 new posts.
Yesterday we got the phone call that every parent fears. Kristyn was in a car accident [...]
