I’m having a baby shower! Please visit:

Rotten night.  I had an allergy attack, so I took a Benadryl, and went to bed at 1 a.m.  I woke up at 3:30 completely unable to breathe through my nose, and feeling rather panicked because of it.  I fell back to sleep, but woke up again at 5, still unable to breathe.  Both times I woke up I got a glass of water, so I don’t know if that’s why I woke up, but I kept trying to shove air in and out my nose, and could not.  Finally after the 5 a.m. waking, my nose cleared up enough that I slept until 11.  I had to get Sammi a bottle, I guess I woke her up at the 5 a.m. wake up for me…. I kept having to get up out of bed.  I was pretty miserable.  Even now my nose is somewhat stopped up.  I am thankful one nostril cleared up enough for me to get some sleep.  I could feel some braxton hicks contractions, because for a minute, I thought I was getting my period, until I remembered I was pregnant.  I guess I was pretty tired if I forgot even for a minute I was pregnant.   I must have another sinus infection.  I need to take my pre-natal vitamins, I keep forgetting, even though they stare me in the face in my bathroom.  I took 2 grams of vitamin C last night, 1 g 4 hours apart.  I will probably take another 500 mg to a g here shortly to combat this infection and maybe get my body to clear my nose up.  At 5, I had a glass of water and a gram of vitamin C, and my nose cleared up… it had to have helped in some way. 
I took a bunch of pictures yesterday of Sammi with black olives on her fingers.  I should have taken some pictures when the girls started playing in the sprinklers, but I couldn’t bring myself to go get the camera.  I spent last night trying to make page kits for my pictures so I could go to McDonalds or Burger King and actually get something done.  I got a LITTLE bit done there.  I also went through my swaps again… I piffed some, should probably pif most.  I’m just not loving them, for the most part.   Except for my Disney swaps.  But even those were the ones I actually piffed.  PIF, by the way, is pay it forward, and it’s a form of trading.  You get points for things you pif, and you can use those points to snag something you want.  Like right now I’m actually trying to get someone to pif me ink cartridges so I don’t have to buy them.  That’ll use up quite a few of my points actually, but that’s all right.
We’re going to go to Sam’s Club today… mom bought me a membership and a gift card so I’ll have money.  I’m hoping they have a gas station there so we can also use the gift card to get gas.  Last I remember, they did NOT… mom’s club does. 
I should wrap up… Becca has been spending ALL of her time on the computer, or watching tv, and I’m probably not setting a wonderful example being on the computer so much myself.  She’s driving me slightly nuts, because she spends SO MUCH time doing frivilous things.  At least writing in a diary isn’t quite so time wasting… not to me at least.  She could be practicing Karate or something better than chatting online for hours on end.
I’m going to be dragging butt all day, I can already tell.  I would love, just for once, to be at optimum energy and just be able to do things without it all feeling like it’s SO HARD.  Right now I could just collapse on the couch and I’m sure within minutes, be nodding off…not sleeping because the girls make too much noise for that.

All right, I am out of here on this beautiful Sunday morning.
