I took my little buddy Tyrone to get groomed last night, and he was a trooper.  He almost had an accident on the table, but he persevered.  I'm not sure I'll take him there again.  I like her, but she wants the owners to stay in the room with the animals, and honestly, and dumb as this may sound....I think he was embarassed at his almost pooping incident.  She said it's what they do when they are "humbled" (see: "disgraced"), and he was acting all shy in front of me last night.  So, maybe next time I'll pay the few more ($15) dollars and go to the place where I drop him off, then pick him up in an hour or two.  He seems to come back a lot happier.  I felt really bad for him last night, but he does look VERY handsome now!!

Now, this morning when I woke up, it was "hello again Mr. Headache."  I used the Neti-Pot, but it hasn't helped.  I finally contacted a specialist for my sinuses, so we'll see what (if) they find anything.  I'm just tired of feeling kind of crappy all the time.  It stinks.

KINK!!!

UGH!!  I have such a kink in my neck!  Last night (in my Benadryl induced coma), I do remember waking up a few times and 3, just 3, of my fingers on my left hand were numb.  What the heck?!?!

And so it begins....

Thank God I am here to see another day!!

Welcome to my blog.  I am just another American woman ("girl" in my own mind....I feel 33 in my head!), trying to get through the days, keep our house clean, make dinner (which rarely happens during the week), and stay afloat.  Oh, and I am a Muslim.  While I am happy with the decision I made just about 5yrs ago, I think some people may wonder "why"??  It was right for me, and I guess that's about all that really matters.  I met my DH about 5mos after I became Muslim, and most of my family knows this, and yet....some still to this day think I became a Muslim because of him.  *sigh*  oh well.  We all have things that makes us want to beat our head against a board, right?

Zzzzzzzzzzz

Day 6 of Ramadan, and I'm tired.  Nuff said. 

wow

I just re-read my past from December, and lo and behond ONE DAY AFTER I posted that I found out I was pregnant! ha ha, who knew?! Anyway, it once again didn't work out, but we did at least get to see and hear the heartbeat, which was amazing. We are still holding out hope that Allah will bless us with a baby.

The condo in MD finally sold, after almost 2yrs. We started looking at homes up here (in PA) around mid-May so we'd have a leg up by the time we went to settlement for the condo (at the end of May). We found a LOVELY townhouse, but kept looking at single family homes, but with the price range, we were getting more bang for our buck with the townhouse. So we made an offer. We are now new owners of a lovely 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse, with a yard (which we own and must take care of), garage and everything. We are truly blessed.

It is also day 4 of Ramadan, and I am doing fairly well, just VERY tired most of the time. Tomorrow I may try and eat more eggs to start my day, the protein does seem to help. I love coffee, but that early it just seems so acidic and makes me feel kind of terrible. I have to figure out another caffeinated beverage to help me get going in the morning. Cherry Coke?? (I LOVE that stuff!!).
