Sleepy

Hello everyone. How was your Thursday?? I hope it was better than mine! I got a ticket today and I am not too happy about it. I guess it was my fault. I was speeding and just didn't know it. I swear that what happens when you move a lot like I do. I mean, shit. its hard to remember all the speed limits. I think sometimes they space those signs far apart so they can catch you in the act! But nothing that we can't handle.

I also got the the grocery store and super happy that things are stocked back up around here. I really need to clean out the frig because I am pretty sure we got some science experiments going on in there. When I got home I worked really fast to put everything away so I could sit down and do the Married Life Post. I wanted to get it up today. I was afraid I wouldn't. If you didn't read it yet you can click

RIGHT HERE to get to it. This weeks topic was brought to us from " Stalker Girl." So by all means, this is a post not to be missed if you are in a relationship. I want to hear your feedback too. Send those emails. As I have said many times, I love hearing from you. I love when my phone dings and I see that it's a reader with a thought or comment about something I have put on here. I do NOT share you email addresses or names. I just don't like that idea. When I had comments on here, I think a lot of people were hesitant to just write what they felt with their names attached. Yes, I know who you are or at least who your email states but most of the time, I still don't know you. After that mean stalker girl I just like to have comments sent to my email. I know this is not custom to bloggers but its the way this blog is operating. I don't see it changing either. Since I have done email only, I have received a ton more comments that I ever did just having them on the blog! So please keep them coming! And thank you.

I haven't been feeling so good today. I have had a runny nose, I have been sneezing a lot and my chest hurts. I think I have my first cold of the year. Oddly, my throat isn't hurting yet. Better knock on this wood coffee table before I wake up tomorrow not able to talk! My back is hurting too and I think that is the cold. I don't have back pain too often but tonight it's ever present. Its cold here tonight. I think its in the low 30's. That's probably why I am not feeling good or maybe its from the shopping cart at Walmart. I forgot to wipe it off today and maybe I got some nasty germs. I don't know but I want to feel better. So I guess I better take some cold medicine.

Another thing I am going to be trying tonight is..

 

tea. My mom is swearing by this stuff. She says she drinks a cup, lays down and it knocks her out. I mean, could it really be that easy? I just got this today and I will be having some in just a bit. I will have to add sugar. And the smell is pretty strong and I am not so crazy about it but I am going to get one cup in me if not 2. I am trying tonight sleeping pill free. Yea. don't know how this is going to turn out. I might have to take some after  tossing and turning for hours but I am giving this a shot. Mom has never took a sleep med in her life, I don't think. So I bet this might work for her better than me! I will be doing a review next week sometime on what I think of this.

Speaking of mom.. look at the pictures she sent me!!

She made the chicken from the WEDNESDAY NIGHT DINNER POST!!!!

And here is the finished dinner..

She stood her chicken up over the veggies and that works great too! She even added a kick of beer to make it a little more tasty! Love that!!

I also love when I get pictures like this!! If you try a recipe send more in!! I love it!!

Ok.. some blog notes for you guys!!

I got a comment/question asking why I stay on the blog all the time. That the little roatating globe always has my city on it.

Here's the answer..

I am on the blog a lot, I am putting up post, looking for post, proof reading.. generally staying busy. But my city is not Shelby anymore. It does show Shelby but to be very honest, I don't live in Shelby anymore. I am kinda glad the globe still shows Shelby but also... its not always me. There are other people in Shelby who read the blog. Husby reads it often at the dealership, along with some others from the dealership and I have a few friends around here that read it too. So don't just assume its always me!

Thanks for reading and thanks for asking though!

You will also notice right ↓ below the globe ↓ that there is a new list of recent post. I changed it up a bit to add more post and a little snippet of the post. So take advantage of that. A lot of my readers come from facebook and I always link up my post to there but some don't and when I do a post with a lot of pictures sometimes that takes up the entire post. I know a lot of people don't always use the little tab at the bottom - OLDER POST - so this new feature is for you guys!

I will also be kinda editing some of the side bar information. I realize now there is a lot of stuff on the side and maybe I should take a few things down. If I do take something off that you like and something you use, please let me know and I will get it back up!

Tomorrow, I have no big plans during the day. I hope to get some things around the house done and I hope to get the frig cleaned out. Tomorrow night we are suppose to be going to this ice skating event but I am not too sure about it. If I am not feeling good, I am for sure not going. Scott is unsure if he can get off work, and its about an hour away. So not sure but we will figure it all out tomorrow.

Well, time to fix that tea and climb in the bed.

Have a great Friday!!

xoxo

♥ How BLESSED I Really Am ♥

It hasn't been a stressful day. In fact, it was very much the opposite. I have to admit that being home is where I am happiest. Making my own schedule, doing what I want for the most part and spending the day with my beautiful kittens. I don't know how much more in love with my husband I can get for giving me this life. Its truly a gift. Yes, I know that sounds mushy but its really how I feel. I was talking the other night with a online friend and pen pal about how so many women out there would kill to live like we do. Yes, she is a stay at home wife too. We both complain sometimes about things like how messy our husband's are, how we are always feeling like maids, or how the world sees us as " kept " women. Like I told her, we have great lives. Yes we feel like maids at times, cooks at other times, a dry cleaner, a pet sitter, and the list can go on and on. But for us and women who stay home our job is to find the charm in chores, the love in cooking, and knowing at being a stay at home wife is a very big deal. We are the CEO's of our homes. And nothing is more important than that. Nothing.



I don't know why I am thinking of this right now. I guess its because I really feel blessed. I look around my home and I know my husband has worked for almost everything in it. My mom has also blessed me with tons of great things and all those things sit around here with things I have had all my life. But for the most part, it's been my husby who has provided everything for me. I look at my cats and think about the joy they bring me. Who got me those cats? That beautiful husband of mine.



I went upstairs a few minutes ago and I looked into the bedroom and saw him laying in the bed. I still think he is the most attractive man in the world. I'm serious. I don't know how this life happened. He picked me. I didn't pick him at first. He was there to pick me up with everything had fallen apart and from the MOMENT I took his hand, he never let go.



We all have ups and downs. I mean he was ready to kill me a few days ago for the dog going missing on my watch.. But let me tell you the words that have never come from either of our mouths.



I don't love you



I hate you



I wish we were not together



and



I love someone else



Those words have never came from our lips in 8 years. Never not once. I think we both like spending time with each other more than anyone else and when we are apart, we are wishing we were with each other. It was YEARS before I ever spent one night away from him. Even the first time, when I went to see my mom in Florida I was scared being without him. I couldn't think of anything else while I was there. I have never in my life known a love like this. I have been in love before but this man, this life, these feelings are completely different.



I don't ever want it to end. I really don't. However, if it ended tomorrow I know that the love would live on in me. I doubt I could really go on but I know that everything I am now is because the help of him. He has helped me grow, helped me learn so many new things, helped me see things that I normally would shut my eyes to ( he's a republican! ) , and all those experiences has made me a better person. A lot of times, people don't understand our relationship. Husby complains a lot.. not always about me but just is kinda a bitchy guy! I don't even see it like that anymore but to people who are not use to him, that is the way he comes off. But I see a different man. And he melts my heart.



I still have a ton of insecurities but he keeps knocking them down and reminding me that our life is not just blessed its by choice. We are together from the choices we made and stay together with the choices we will make.

Between him , my children and my family- mainly the women in my life ( my mother, sister, grandmother, and Scott's sister ) are the people that make me who I am. They have ALL been so instrumental in my life. My sister is younger than I am. By about 10 years but even she has inspired me. My mom and I talk 4-5 times a day. She is as loyal and as loving as mom that anyone could wish for. Yes there are days we totally disagree but that's ok too. My grandmother is one of my best friends and she has taught me many lessons. Scott's sister has been there for me for years and my children are the best things I ever done. THESE ARE MY BLESSINGS. The people who have passed like my grandfather, Scott's mother, friends have also been my blessings and now they look over me and I really believe that they are part of why I am so happy and blessed now.



When I say happy.. I don't always mean on a daily basis, I go around with a smile on my face 24 hours day. What I mean is. I am happy when I lay my head down at night and feel the love all those people give me. The world stopped being a war when I stopped fighting. I am still feisty and very opinionated and out spoken but I don't carry around anger with me anymore. Its gone and its mainly because my husband has loved me, cherished me, and made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.



I know so many of you are wanting this life I have. I know it. And my advice to you is this.



Say your prayers and wait.



 It will happen if you allow it and want it. I had no idea that I would get this life. None. I hated my ex husband even when I vowed to love him forever. I was unhappy and I was ashamed of my life at that time. That has passed. I don't take for granted one second. I am not a fake person. I tell people who I love that I love them and I try my hardest to show it. Its not just about receiving love and blessings. Its about giving love too. I am sure Scott would tell you that he has never been loved by another woman as I love him. I would follow him to the end the earth. In good times and in bad. And when its hard and I feel like giving up, all I have to do is look at him and all the love comes sweeping up on me like nothing else. I can't stay mad at him for very long. I don't want to waste time fighting or arguing over things that really don't matter. He's worth it all to me. I will fight for him, for us, forever. The same for my family. They are my world and they are what matters most.



 What I want is to make all the best memories I can with the time I have.



I wish this for all of you too.



With all that said.. this happy, in love, blessed girl is going to bed.



Sweet Dreams

My day..

My day.. My day.. My day.. Hummmm... what to say.. Well for the most part.. 

IT SUCKED..

That damn dog is still missing and it has upset our entire house. But I tried to get back to normal a little bit.. 

I did make it to the store.. 

picked up a few things.. 

One of the best things I came home with is...

Now.. I know everyone has either a love or a hate relationship with egg nog. I was talking to my mom tonight and she said " I HATE EGG NOG" My response.. " When was the last time you tried it...1976 when I was born? " Her response.. " Nope.. it was longer than that" Ok. people.. I don't know what the hell egg nog tasted like then but with time, as with most things, I am sure it has improved. I didn't think 10 years ago, I liked it either.. but this is heaven on my tongue.I looooooove it.. So I want you guys to try it once again.. This is the time of year its in the stores and this Southern Comfort is a great great egg nog.. There is no alcohol in it.. unless you put it in..and it cost about $4.00. Its amazing.. and I am going to do a upcoming post soon because there are so many things you can do with egg nog.. You wait.. I think you will be surprised at how much you can do with it.. So stay tuned for that post.. This is my before bed snack tonight.. I can't wait!! I tend to really like it a lot and it is heavy in calories. So I have to limit myself.. otherwise I would drink gallons of this stuff. Try it.. that's all I am asking.. I want emails about what you think about it too!  

Before grocery shopping and after, I spent it in the car.. 

driving around searching for that dog.. 

In town.. out of town.. around the neighborhood, in the woods.. you name it I looked there. Scott had to work till 8 pm so I had to do the majority of looking for him. Still he was no where to be found. My mom keeps saying he will be back and helping to keep us hopeful but it feels pretty hopeless right now. Scott came home and I got dinner cooked.. 

Tonight was.. 

BLT night. Super easy for a late night and we ate watching Dancing with the Stars.. Once 9 pm came, we turned it to House so I am finishing the last dances now.. and will talk more in a few minutes about it and more to come tomorrow about it too! 

I decided after a long day of hunting for the dog the only thing that was going to make me feel better was a long hot bath.. and guess who joined me? 

All the boys! They love watching the water in the bath tub. I want them to get socialized with everything. That's what will make them good cats. On the other side.. 

their sister Willow watched and so did our baby female - Sweet Pea - but she jumped down to be with her mommy who was laying on the floor before I could get a picture of her... You might wonder why I had the camera upstairs while I was taking a a bath.. but I was working on pictures of a shampoo and conditioner that I am reviewing. That post should be up tomorrow.. 

Scott and I did go back out again to look for the dog.. We drove around in the dark praying to see him but still no Cooper. I just hope he is ok. Tomorrow we are back on the hunt.. That should make blogging a little less.. so don't be alarmed if you don't hear much from me. Scott is taking the entire day off and I think we are going hiking in the woods to look from him and I am sure we will drive around more too. Plus we are putting flyers out. Mom warned me not actually put them in the mailboxes.. just tape them to the side.. I think I am going to listen.. I don' t want to get arrested for a federal crime over that dog. Again.. I am really concerned about him. I know a lot of people think I don't care because I am clearly a cat person.. but I raised that dog and I spend more time with him than Scott ever does.. he is at work 70-80 hours a week so I do care about him. I think when Scott is around, he doesn' t listen like he should but when its just us.. he listens just fine. So he is in my prayers and I just want him home. If you are reading this.. please say a prayer too.. We need all the help we can get to bring him home. 

Ok.. on to Dancing with the Stars. Wow. tonight was a big night.. JR is still by far the best dancer.. I mean with the armatures. Again.. I LOVE MAX... Is that just not a beautiful man? Omg.. I sooooo have a crush on him.. I would let him toss me all around that dance floor! I will have much much more on it tomorrow.. ( if I have time, that is ) but I think Nancy Grace is gone..I love her but its time to say good bye. I also love watching Derick..That little guy can really dance.. and fun to watch! 

Well.. I am going to feed my cats.. get to bed so I can get up tomorrow to look for the dog.. Maybe God will put him on the front porch when we get up.. Fingers Crossed.. 

Sweet Dreams.

Cold Saturday..

Our sun is deceiving today!! Its shinning bright but its pretty cold out. I had no intentions on going outside at all but I had to let the dog out. I got back in the house super super fast!! Burrrrrrrr!!

I didn't fall asleep till after 5 am. I wish I could do better with that. I think I am going to head back to the Dr and talk to him about it.  Maybe at this point I need stronger sleep meds or maybe I just need to force myself to get up early and stay up and then maybe I would fall asleep earlier. I don't know but I don't like sleeping in so late. Its nothing that new for me. I am use to going to bed late and getting up early but cleaning at night is not so easy when husby is sleeping!

Today I don't have any big plans.. Just waiting on Scott to get home in an hour and then hang out with him. We don't have any plans except he is going to watch the movie that I watched last night that I will be reviewing today!!

Just so you guys know.. the family member of mine who was having some serious problems is starting to feel better. He is under the care of a Dr. and hopefully he will get back to his old self in no time. My mom was so worried and I just hate when she hurts. But thankfully she did what she could from Texas and it made all the difference in the world.

Right now I am uploading a very cute video from last night and I can't wait to get it up on here for you guys!  Stay tuned!!

Hello Friday!!

Afternoon everyone!

It feels like just a little while since I blogged last. Its just terrible falling asleep lately. I woke up to my mom calling.. She called once.. I didn't answer.. She called back.. I answered.. told her I was still sleeping.. and then my friend texted me so it seemed like I was suppose to get up. Well, I talked to my mom.. She was very upset over something that happened last night. I can't go into the details on here.. but if you are reading this, please say a prayer for my family. I don't wake up too often to my mom crying and I can tell you now.. it broke my heart. No matter how angry or how many fights we had in the past, I love her and when she is upset or hurting.. I get upset and I actually get a little angry that she is having to deal to with something that is upsetting her so much. But everyone is ok now...thank goodness!

I just got done feeding all the cats and boy do they have some food energy..they are running around here like they are in a race.. They are leaping and jumping on the furniture.. running circles around the dog and just raising all kinds of hell! Their energy will run out pretty quick and before I know it they will all crash out for a long afternoon nap! I told Scott last night that I don't intend on quiting breeding them. He basically just smiled. He knows how much happiness they bring me and that just makes me love him more! I mean to find a man who loves all my cats as much as I do is just a blessing from God!!

I don't have that many plans today. I need to toss laundry around.. pick up the house a little but that's about it. Its been raining all night and the wind is blowing..you can barley tell that the sun is out and its not even 60 here today.. So the fireplace is going and I am staying home today. I am going to do my very best to stay away from CVS today!! God knows, I am in there enough! I will have the swatches up from the new lipsticks that I got in Yesterday's Haul and in a week or so, I will get a review up on what I really think of them! I have a ton of products that I want to get reviewed for you guys. I know I have been doing a lot of beauty post on here lately.. All of you know by now, its one of my passions. I love it. I do use some high end make up but most of the time now, if I can find something at a drug store for a cheaper price that works just as well.. I choose that. I like to find things that I don't have to go to a mall to get or order online. And from a lot of the emails I get.. I know that a lot of you ladies like the beauty post too!

I do have one post that I am going to be writing soon that would fall into the Married Life category but I am going to write it and just add it to it even though its not going to be posted on Thursday. I really want to try to stick to one post a week about married life but I saw something on tv a few weeks ago that kinda shocked me and then just a few minutes ago I saw something else on tv that is like a follow up to the first thing I saw.. So with that said.. Be looking for that post later today or tonight.. Its another hot topic that I think many of you are going to be able to relate to.

If you didn't check out this weeks Married Life Post please please click → HERE ←  to read it.. I am already getting lots of feedback on it and I want to hear your thoughts on it.. So read it.. then send me an email to kishajaggers@aol.com and let me know your thoughts. If you agree with it or disagree with it.. is fine with me! I just want to hear all your thoughts on the topic!!

I hope everyone has a great Friday!!

I will be back in a bit to talk more with you!!

Thursday Greetings!!!

Afternoon friends..

I am taking it pretty easy at the moment.. I am still in my pjs and I might not get dressed all day.. I know I said I would do a look with the new Maybelline Cream Shadows I got yesterday.. but that might have to wait till tomorrow.. I am happy to just be comfortable and warm today. When I got up a little while ago, the house was sooooo freaking cold.. I got the fireplace lit and letting it warm this place up some.

I was so tired last night.. my head was pounding and I turned into a grump real fast.. The best place I could have ended up was bed!! So thats where I went.. and it felt so good that I had trouble getting out of it today.. At 1:30 today I was trying to decide rather to stay in it or get out of it.. I laid there for a bit longer and I could hear all the kittys outside my door waiting on me to get up and feed them.

Today I have a lot of post coming up so stay tuned.. I will get the marriage post, a post from my souvenirs from Scotland that was from my mom, I have the post coming up about the Maybelline Line Stiletto that I showed you guys in this CVS HAUL from yesterday plus some other post.. One post that is coming up is a recipe that I think most of you will LOVE!! You guys know I am up late so I will work on all these post through out the day and night so stay tuned!!



I am also hoping to work on the spare bedroom today too. Its not going to be that hard.. I am going to take down the twin beds that are in there right now and get the full mattress set up and just get it started and then as the days go on, I can decorate it more.



Well have a great Thursday !!!



Be back in a bit!!

A Long Day..

 Hello.. another late night post for you guys! Its about 140am and after this post is done.. I am going to go curl up in bed and watch tv till I drift off asleep! I didn't get to sleep last night till after 6am.. Yea.. I was none too happy about that. It sucks when my sleep meds don't work. I had a ton of things on my mind in regards to a couple of my girlfriends.. but tonight.. I am going to do my best to clear my head and get some sleep!!

So today.. Scott got up early and started helping our friend to move.. I was so happy they didn't force me up to help. At 1 pm Scott called to wake me, and even then.. I was a little grumpy about getting out of the bed. But I felt bad for Michael because I knew I need to help him.. even if I woke up late. So I got up and heading to his house. It didn't take long to finish loading the rest of the stuff and before I knew it...

We were heading down the road. The boys were hungry so we made a quick stop at

And had a quick lunch.. Then we were off again to..

drop the empty trailer back at the dealership..

The boys got it unhooked and put up and back on the road we went..

We finished moving him in.. Thankfully this time.. all I had to do is move the stuff in.. I didn't have to unpack anything!! That job is theirs! I am really happy that he is getting settled in his new apartment and working on making a happy happy life with the a family that loves him dearly. I think there are tons of good things in store for them!

So after that.. I drove my car back.. Scott drove the truck back.. We went to the dealership to clean both vehicle's up..

Ohhh.. remember the broken window I was telling you about last night??/

Well here it is..

Shattered..

Scott got busy on the truck first trying to get all the glass vacuumed up.

I kinda didn't see the point in doing it himself. They pay people there to do that kind of thing but since it happened when he was driving.. I think he wanted to do it.

Another thing that took me by surprise is that he offered to wash and detail my car.

So..

he got busy doing that. I really would have rathered running it through a gas station car wash because it cold and I was tired.. didn't want to wait at all!

but he got busy..

and got it all suds up

and cleaned

and even dried and waxed..

At this point the car was about done. I think we were at the dealership for about an hr and a half.

I wish I would have taken a picture of my car after he was totally done.. but I didn't. I had misplaced my visa card and was kinda in a panic around this stage. I had it in Scott's jacket that I put on at Sonic and thought it fell out either at Sonic or Michael and Courtney's apartment. We called them to check the parking lot.. and nothing. So I am on the phone.. getting ready to report it lost when Michael called and said he found it in a box with the hamburger that I didn't finish! Wooooo...that was a lucky call!

Thank you Thank you.. So he is bringing it to work with him tomorrow.

On the way home from the dealership I stopped at the market.. got a few things for dinner and as I was pulling into the house..darkness was setting upon us. I was so tired and cold that when I got in the house.. I got the fireplace going and just flopped on the couch until I got warmed up. Scott was tired and beat up too. He cut his finger really bad on that glass and I think we both just wanted some food.. showers.. and bed..

My mom flew to Indiana today to see the kids and her mom. She was going to go work for the week up North but her vehicle was having issues and she decided at the last minute she was flying up. I was in the middle of moving Michael when she called.. I answered and immediately told her that I would have to call her back.. my hands were full but for some reason she sounded kinda sad.. I am happy she sounded that way because it got me to call her back faster. Little did I know she was sitting in the airport waiting to board her flight. I about died when I realized that. What if I had missed her and she flew off and something happened.. I told her next time.. FOR SURE get ahold of me before flying off.. I just worry about her. I don't have much family left.. she means the world to me and even though there have been times when we both wanted to ring each others necks.. I would be lost without her. I am really thankful I got to talk to her before she took off.

It wasn't but a few hours later that she sent me the following pictures... 

My Brittany Belle with her new American Doll Baby " Courtney " that she wanted sooooo bad for her birthday.. I have a problem paying $100.00 for a baby doll.. But her grandma sure didn't!

And here is my wild child..

He went shopping with my mom for his birthday gift.. So he was a happy camper too!

Mom said she felt Brittany's hair was cute.. Its kinda a shag cut.. I love mom.. love Brittany.. but kinda disagree.. But.. with that said.. I think Brittany is beautiful no matter what.. and it will grow back out. I am still way upset about it.. and I doubt that will change but I am trying to handle it better. I think what gets me is it was done out spite for me.. not love for her. And thats not just mean.. its cruel. My father had a hand in it. Not a big one but he told them where to go to get it done without ever talking to me about it and did it without much thought. I expected more out of him.. Since then I have not talked to him. While I do kinda miss him.. I have to cool down first. Thinking about it now.. I just expect more out of him. I feel let down a lot with him but I do love him and when the time is right.. probably when her hair grows back out like it use to be.. we will hopefully talk again. But I am glad my mom is there and really feels her hair is ok.. and that helped me..but I wish it would have never happened..

Ok.. back to tonight...

I got busy in the kitchen while Scott soaked in big hot bath.. For tonight's dinner.. I decided on..

Chili.. I make a really fast good chili with very little work.. I will post the how to and pictures tomorrow.. Again. Chili is something that you don't have to take all day to make. I think this was done in about 30 minutes.. Yea.. Its that fast.. and it was sooooo good.. In fact, I just had a 2nd bowl a little while.. I made plenty for Scott to take into the dealership tomorrow. I told Michael I would send some for his lunch tomorrow too. So its all ready for them!

After dinner.. I went straight to the hot bath and my babies are starting to make it up the stairs now.. I went in to see Scott and

Gizmo was watching tv.. I mean really watching it and it wasn't long before

Sweet Pea was up there too watching tv.. How cute are they!?

Those kittens are my ♥. I am not ready to get rid of them at all.. who knows if I will. I might just keep them all! =) I don't do it for the $.. I do it for the joy they bring me.. However husby says they are a very expensive investment and he wants to make some of his $ back!! I guess we can agree to disagree on that one!

Tomorrow.. no big plans.. I am sleeping in all day if I want. I am just going to take it easy.. work around the house and wait till he gets home around 8 to watch House and Dancing with the Stars. I am not even sure I am handing out candy. I will have to go out and get some and I am not making myself do that if I don't feel like it. We will just have to wait and see!

We are also having problems with Cooper. I won't go into details but tonight I wanted to beat him to death.. I didn't.. but I sure wanted to. We are going to have to get him to the vet and get him checked out. He keeps up and he is going to get a brand new dog house and live outside.. Scott sticks up for the dog but how he is acting.. no one needs to stick up for him. He needs to be bopped upside his head. I know Scott loves him like I love my cats.. but his behavior has really gotten worse since we moved in this house. Maybe I need to call Cesar the Dog Whisper to come help!

Well friends.. I am tired.. I am off to bed and tonight.. I am thinking I am not going to have much trouble falling asleep.. but you never know!! Fingers Crossed my meds work and my eyes shut.. and I start dreaming..

Happy Halloween!!
