ambien (it inspired this post, in fact) It makes me feel warm and fuzzy, a little dreamy, sweet and talky and a little euphoric. Ahhhhhhh.......and then SLAM. Asleep.
My husband. Seriously - he is pretty much the best ever. He loves me, like, a LOT. He loves me and he acts like it practically all the time. I love him too - but I am not as consistent with my sweetness as he is. I am super dooper nice and sweet (more so when on Ambien) but, I also have a little breakthrough bitchiness that comes out every now and then. (like, every now and then throughout the day....not the month or year or anything....sadly, its daily) Jacob doesn't get bitchy. He gets loving and sweet, and maybe a little annoyed, but mostly he is perfect all the time. (and for the few times he isn't perfect, I let him know right away *see previous mention of bitchiness for explanation* and then he stops being imperfect and we kiss and make up.)
My kids. BlahBlahBlah everybody loves their kids right? Right, BUT my kids actually deserve all the love and adoration they get from me, and you, because they really are in fact THE best kids ever. They stress me out and push me to my limits every single day. But you know what else they do? They look at me like I am the most important thing, the ONLY thing to them. They say the cutest, smartest, wittiest things all day long. They are serious comedians. I think Violet, specifically may have a career ahead of her in improv, or stand up, or as a genius comedic actor (Parker Posey? Tina Fey?) They tell me they love me more times a day than I can count. When I leave them home with Jacob to go grocery shopping they wail and cry and nash their teeth because they can't bear to be separated from me for the amount of time it takes to go buy a gallon of milk. But, when I return, I get a welcome fit for a queen. They both come tumbling out of the house, racing to be the first one to hug me. To ask if I need help bringing in the groceries. Did I buy any chocolate milk? Did I buy any gum? Did I miss them? And then once we actually get into the house with all the new groceries, I am rewarded by drawings that Lucy and Violet have made for me while I was away. Pictures of me pushing a grocery cart, pictures of Lucy and Violet holding hands. Pictures of a beautiful un-named princess who has long blond hair and blue eyes. Pictures that I want to frame and hang all over my house, because they are that good. So, cute, comedians, and artist. Someday I'm hoping my talented girls will start paying the bills for us with all their lucrative talents. So, ask me then, and I'll have anther thing I love to blog about. My kid's money $$
Teresa. The best best friend ever. She hides her irritation well when I call her for the 3rd time in a day. I feel totally understood and accepted by her. She laughs at all my jokes, and not just a courtesy laugh. She gets my dumb sense of humor and appreciates it. And, really nothing makes me feel better than someone else laughing their butt off at me. Also, she has really climbed out of her little shell the past year, and that has been really fun to watch. She is beautiful, smart, funny, and basically just really nice to be around.
Tammy. Cause she is sweet, beautiful, loves my girls, gives awesome massages and she always tells me I'm beautiful even though I am a million times bigger than her. Oh, and she invites me to stay at her mom's bed and breakfast.
Those fancy mushrooms I had when I was 19. Can I just buy those in the grocery store? Because, those totally rocked. I DO love them. And I would love for Jacob and I to love those together. And then we would love each other more for doing it.
Ok, so I love way more things than the above listed. But the SLAP part of the ambien is approaching, and I don't want to have to endure the day tomorrow with the letters G Y and H indented on my forehead because I slept on the keyboard. So I must end with a list, no explanations, of the other things that I love. Cause I do love em.
Mexican food - cheesy please. But I can't have it
Friends (I do have more friends than just Teresa and Tammy, and I love them all)
Iced Mochas
My favorite pair of size 6 jeans, that I may never fit into again

Now.... while I agree that all those things are great and SHOULD be loved and loved and loved. Ummmm... Nuff said? Come on? There has to be LOTS more to say about me than that. I mean I know it kind of goes without saying that I'm super great and all that, but... nuff said? I need someone to say something nice about me and to acknowledge my super great talents and abilities. I'm feeling a little drab these days. Come on.. something. Anything. I'm wilting like a delicate flower that someone forgot to water. I was just humiliated for being overheard singing and having my neighbors see me in my hideous pajamas and then having to walk back into my lonely house where I have no beautiful children to greet me, no happy dogs, no sweet cats. Nothing. Just Stevie Wonder singing "Superstition". Damn.. I need more than ... Nuff Said!!!!!!!
P.S. I know you really do love me and I love you too!!!!!
Maybe I should look into this Ambien business. I was up until 5 AM on Saturday morning because I couldn't sleep, until I finally took Nyquil. I'm a lightweight.
I've been a substance abuse worker for 10 years, so I get a little freaked out. Maybe being an addict wouldn't be all the bad.
I don't know if ambien is addictive. My dr says its not.
I am honored to be included in your list. Do you remember typing this because if you don't then that means your really love me.
I need to try this blogging while on drugs. It sounds fun.
Michelle, I'm not sure why the doctor would say that. Almost all sleep medications are somewhat addictive, and even Ambien's own website said that it can cause dependence and addiction.
Sorry to sound like a DARE ad. It happens, but I'm sure you take it only as needed. Man, I sound like such a killjoy!
Ummm, the ambien forgot to tell you that you love your sister. One that will make you chocolate croissants and serve it to you in bed.
adam - oh great! Well, I only take it occasionally (like, 3 times / week - is that a lot?) but it is really good for my sex life and my marriage, so I can't stop taking it! lol
Marie - maybe once you actually DO make me chocolate croissants and serve them to me in bed, then you will be on my list. Just kidding - of course you are already on my list.
Tammy - I only barely remember writing this post.
Oh, you can call me Kristina. I've toyed with changing my screen name, but I've had it for a while, so it's easier. I'm lazy.
that is so funny that I called you adam - didn't even mean to. The ambien must still be in my system
Get your ass out here bitch!
I JUST noticed that you updated the part about me. That is SO nice. Thanks! Totally needed it today. You are the best BFF I've ever had. Truly. :)
So far, my favorite post on your blog.
I loved the part about your girls: adorable and endearing....
