Not gonna miss a day...

I hope. LOL  Since my last post was at like 2 in the morning and this one is at 3 in the morning its considered 2 posts in a row. I am on a roll! Except I really don't have much to blog about!
I spent most of the day in bed. I think I might be getting sick. I sure hope not!  I ache all over and I am just so darn tired! Part of it I am sure is because I'm not working out like I'm suppose to (gotta get back on track!), and some might be my unusually low blood pressure. But other than that I just feel icky! So here is to feeling better!
And I will be back again soon!

Welcome to 2011

And where did 2010 go?? It seems like just yesterday I was writing this post right here. So because I failed at those I guess I better work harder to not fail this year. All though, I have to admit,  The number 1 resolution on that list I did manage to finally do! January 4th marked my 3 month quit date! So onto my 2011 resolutions.


  • Get healthier
    • This I can do! I have been slowly working on this and I know it's all ONE day at a time!
    • It's just a matter of healthy eating and doing my workouts like I am suppose to.
  • Scrapbook more
  • Spend more time doing fun things with Hayley
  • Start attending church with Hayley when she is home and even when she is not.
  • Read my entire Bible
    • I am actually following a plan that will allow me to read the whole Bible in 90 days. It is absolutely fasinating and I am ashamed to admit I have never read the whole Bible. 
  •  Be a nicer person to everyone, even those that don't deserve it!
  • Live more! Save more!
I think thats about it. OH and BLOG more! Since I haven't posted since August I think I might really have a problem here!! LOL

Aren't they adorable????

Happy 1 month Birthday to Faith's kittens!! I can't believe it's been a month since these adorable not so little ones were born! They are all ranging in weight between 11 and 15 ounces which for a month old is incredible. Faith is such an amazing mommy. She is starting to slowly wean them now and they have all learned how to crawl out of that box.  We finally had to put a baby gate up in our closet door way to contain the little ones.
Only one more month until we can finally place them with new owners...Anyone looking for a kitten???

Headaches...

I have been having horrid headaches for about 2 months now. Unless I find something to take that actually makes my head stop hurting it will continue to hurt..ALL the time, round the clock. I had the same headache for 3 weeks...So off to the Doctor I went. Lovely doctor I have, seriously, I love my doctor.
So about 21 days ago I went to see her. She has no clue what is causing them and referred me to a neurologist, but more about that in a minute. In addition she put me on prednisone to reduce possible inflammation in my brain, a pain medication to sleep that has to be taken every night, any where for 1 to 4 pills (25 mg a pill), and gave me a prescription for Imitrex to be taken with aleve to create Treximet (another migraine medication my insurance won't cover). So for 6 VERY long days I took the steroids, and Imitrex when needed. Along with the new medication at bedtime. So on top of my original 3 nightly medications I added in those. Thankfully my headaches went away...For about 4 days. And then they came back.
So I was taking imitrex quite a bit, sadly my insurance company will only cover 9 pills every 30 days...I ran out yesterday. So I called the doctor's office and they scheduled me to go in today. I was a little nervous about what she was going to say. Almost an hour later I walked out with 2 treximet samples, and a needle less injection of Imitrex. Oh and 4 new prescriptions. So after I picked up my prescriptions my daily pill intake is as followed:
Morning: a blood pressure/headache prevention medication & steroids
Lunch: more steroids
Dinner: nothing
Bed:Cymbalta, Prevacid, BC, steroids, blood pressure/headache prevention, and the pain medicine to sleep

She also gave me a prescription for Naproxsin to go with the Impitrex I can get next week. The next 12 days outta be fun: Hot flashes, mood swings, and dry mouth like crazy along with any new side effects that the other meds might have. Joy....NOT
BUT if this will help until I see the neurologist then I don't care, I am tired of living with headaches. Oh and I can't see the neurologist until June 18. That sucks!
