Home Sweet Home
We’re back from our getaway weekend in Milwaukee. Actually, we got home at one o’clock this afternoon, but I am so drained that I didn’t feel like doing anything but sleep. Of course, I couldn’t do that until I returned the rental car, retrieved my child from Grandpa’s house (which took much bribing on my part) and unpacked all the bags and suitcases.
I’ve head a headache ever since I got home; the kind that hurts so terribly behind my eyes and at the bridge of my nose. While I was driving home from my parents’ house, Dawson was chattering from the backseat about all the fun he had with his Poppa, and I kept thinking about swallowing two Excedrin and crawling into bed. I think my exhaustion hit harder than I expected. It was a long, 2 1/2 hour drive home, but the trip was worth it. I’ve got a recap post planned and I’ll post it as soon as I finish some other important tasks.
I stopped at K-Mart today (before I went to get the Doodlebug — shopping is easier without him begging for toys) and picked up my prescription for Clomid which I’ll start taking tomorrow. I’m pretty optimistic about this cycle, but I must say that even if it doesn’t work, I won’t be taking it next month. I’m hoping this is the “boost” that does whatever it’s supposed to do.
Also at K-Mart, I got a new ceramic-barrell curling iron. I’ve been wanting to curl my hair for awhile, probably because I can’t remember the last time I did something with my locks other than straighten them with a flat iron. When I went to use my old metal-barrelled Revlon a few weeks ago, I noticed the curls went flat instantly. My hairdresser told me that the metal ones cause static and the curl won’t set, and they are bad for the ends of my hair. We’ll see how this new one works.
I also bought three new books, one of which is Marley & Me (I refuse to see the movie until I can read the book, although I said that about The DaVinci Code and I still haven’t finished that book — and I did see the movie when it was on HBO a while back). Can’t wait to read that book, but I’m still trying to get through Gone With the Wind. Even though I’ve read Margaret Mitchell’s masterpiece at least twelve times, I love reading it every few years.
Dawson got three new CARS cars and a children’s bible. I knew I’d have to persuade him to come home, so I told him I had a surprise for him at home (even though I had bought the stuff before I picked him up, and had it in the car!).
My little guy didn’t want to leave his grandparent’s house. This is the first time he’s spent the night there in a very long time. Usually he starts to cry when it gets dark, and wants to go home. But, since we were out of town, he had to get over his fear. Grandpa took him tobogganing and sledding, they rented movies and had dinner at Pizza Hut. No wonder he didn’t want to leave! He was spoiled rotten!
So. That’s what’s up so far. More to come. I just need to go to bed. Sleep sounds so good right now. I didn’t get much sleep last night at the hotel. There was an argument between boyfriend and girlfriend on our floor and it was so loud that we actually had to call the front desk to complain. They told us they received other complaints as well, and the cops were on the way. Not sure what happened, but I saw two Milwaukee cops dragging a guy down the hallway when I was peeking out of the peep hole in our hotel room. This was at 2 a.m., so needless to say I’m a little sleep deprived. My bed is calling my name….
