PROOF!!!!

I have proof and reason not to leave my house. YESSSSSSSS!!! I was fine until I left my house today, and literally started sneezing the second I walked outside.
BENADRYL HERE I COME.

I found this article today after sneezing for the millionth time...

Blowing (noses) in the wind
This weather could give you fits
By JAN JARVISjjarvis@star-telegram.com
Noses across North Texas are blowing, not to mention sneezing and sniffling, thanks to the dust, pollen and other irritants that were blowing in Tuesday’s winds.

Anyone who was already suffering with inflammation from a respiratory infection or allergy is likely to be sniffling more than ever, said Dr. John Fling, an allergist and acting chairman of pediatrics at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth.

“Mountain cedar is blowing in from the hill country and bringing in a lot more pollen,” he said. “And the smoke is creating havoc for anyone with respiratory problems.”

The pollen count is expected to be in the medium to medium-high range through Friday, according to the Web site pollen.com. Cedar, juniper and elm is to blame.

So what’s an allergy sufferer to do?

Stay indoors if possible.

Make sure the windows at home and in the car are closed to keep contaminants out.

Use medications, such as steroid nasal sprays and antihistamines. The antihistamine Zyrtec is now available over-the-counter and as a generic.

SERIOUSLY!?!?

Don't read any further if you don't want to hear me complain.
So, the other day I had just left the parking lot of W@l-M@rt and I was heading home. I was driving past the Car Wash to get to the street to turn into my neighborhood. This other car is driving the opposite direction and proceeds to turn in front of me. UM excuse me, I don't think so, just because you want to go get your car washed doesn't mean you automatically earn a magical stop sign for me to stop at. IDIOT! So, when I hold my ground and don't let him turn he looks at me like I'm in the wrong. NOTHING makes me more mad when someone thinks for some reason they can do whatever the crap they want and the rules don't apply to them. ARRRRRRRRGH! So, he looks at me like I'm some kind of crazy lady(little does he know), so I decide to show him crazy. lol. I swerved my car towards his, and honked the horn. lol. Well, hmmmmmm, Mature? Maybe not. Did it make me feel better? YES!
I mean who goes and gets their car washed when it's 30 degrees anyway, and seriously, did he really expect me to take him seriously with a FREAKING POODLE on his lap? IDIOT!!!

Sunday Headaches!

Does anybody else get these??? I swear every Sunday at some point during the day I have a headache. What's up with that? I thought Sunday was the day of rest, peace and relaxation. It seems to be a different reason every week too. Like for instance Fast Sunday is from no food, sometimes it's from screaming children, 3 hours of meetings does it sometimes, unfortunately taking too long of naps, and maybe just maybe 8:30am church.
Anywayzzzzzz, today was no exception but at least I got a nice, big, juicy, slobber on the pillow NAP!!!!
As for the headache, nothing a few advil and a Dr. Pepper can't fix!

T.G.F.I (Thank goodness for Ipods)!!!

Alright, so those of you who know me especially my dentist know that I have a very sensitive gag reflex. Thanks to genetics. lol.
Sometimes it gets in the way of daily activities such as making dinner, wiping children's behinds, runny noses, even noises or smells can set it off.
Last Sunday, I thanked Jacob for preparing the roast for me. He said Ya I almost barfed, I think you're rubbing off on me. lol.
So, last week I wasn't feeling well and waited until I couldn't stand it any longer then went to the doctor. It was a Saturday, so it was a busy urgent care place, and was I prepared to have to wait awhile. Luckily, because of modern technology and the intelligence of the medical world you no longer have to wait in the waiting room but in the comfort of your own home. The nurse called a couple hours later and said they were ready for me.
As I approached the door to the doctor's office, I saw something that might terrify anyone with a sensitive gag reflex. There was a man sitting hunched over a garbage can. I thought oh crap I can't go in there, if he pukes I will puke. I was in too much misery to go home though. I took a deep breath and walked in, practically backwards so I wouldn't have to see the vomit, if it did come up. The noises that were coming out of this man were about more than I could handle. He was gagging, gurgling and coughing so hard, I lost it a few times and gagged, but tried to keep everything in my stomach. I checked in, sat down and tore through my purse to find my ipod. I put those earphones so fast, found the most obnoxious rap song I could find on there and turned the volume up as loud as I could. AHHH, finally my stomach at ease again. I was only in the waiting room for about 5 minutes. I got to my room and luckily I just had to have a short test done and some prescriptions written and I was out of there.
Thank goodness, because guess who got put in the room next to me, yep Mr. McVomit himself.

Funny Poem

I thought this was really funny, especially since a friend of mine just told me that Santa Claus snuck in her closet and shrunk all her clothes. lol. If anyone needs a good 5 day cleanse, I know where to get one.


'Twas the week after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).

I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,

The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt

I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"

So away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
"Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie - not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.

I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore
But isn't that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!


Then I have to go and get this in my email...

and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

We have a tradition to have a New year's Eve party in Tyler with all the Hyland's(my fam), Audrey and Wendy couldn't make it this year. We somehow managed to have fun, but it sure wasn't the same without them. We exchanged gifts, watched fireworks, and had great food.
