Cheese With That?

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Why, Yes, Yes I would.  Maybe some Brie with dried cherries and pecans.  Or maybe some really good Gouda.

I am a big o'whiney hot mess right now.  What I initially thought was allergies was not allergies and has turned out to be a nasty little cold.  It started out as a head cold and has now moved down my throat into my chest leaving me with a burning and the feeling that little tiny bee bees are rattling around in there when I cough, ricocheting all around.  Whenever I blow my nose my ears plug up and now I get dizzy.  

I'm trying not to sit around all day.  Yesterday I got it in my head that I wanted a smoothie and that turned out a mess in itself.  I spilled half my darling Clover's Strawberry Whirl all over the back seat of my Hubby's new car.  I had a minute where I was about to have a total meltdown.  I had convinced myself that  smoothies in the car would be fine.  It was totally my fault and I admit that.  I was sick and all I wanted was a darn Purely Pineapple.  So instead of crying, I drove right over to the car wash and gave them my sad story and they totally came through for me.

Of course I was honest with my husband and told him.  I was going to anyways but my tattling little daughter decided she was going to break the news to him first.  Of course when she told the story it was ALLL over the back seat and not just the passenger side.  She tells stories like her Daddy!  I still got the disapproving look when I told him but I think he took pity on me since I was a hot mess yesterday too.  I think he was happy that his car was cleaned and detailed too, despite the reason why.

Usually I work through whatever is bothering me but this cold has knocked me on my butt-butt!  I'm trying really hard not to sit around all day eating ice cream.  I feel guilty for having the TV on but I really have no energy to do anything else.

Right now I am still in my jammies.  My coffee is gone.  My hair is unbrushed and I smell like Vicks (the cream kind not the vaseline kind).  I'm not seeing very much getting done today but as much as I want to sit on the couch, guilt will eventually get the best of me and I will at least do a round of dishes and probably laundry.  Although I still want a smoothie, staying at home is probably in my best interest for today.

I am very appreciative that the timing of my cold was this week and not last.  I would have hated to be wondering around Disneyland with this.  So thats a positive.  Another positive is that the average cold only lasts 10 days or a week and half.  A couple more days and I should be somewhat functional and a few more days after that and I should be back to my normal less whiney self!

In Which

In which I admit that not all my days are good days.  I like to keep it pretty positive around these parts.  I see no point in wallowing in negativity.  Unfortunately, I don't always live up to my own expectations.  That's life, right?

It started yesterday when I was eating my nice crunchy granola and heard a nasty crunch.  A crunch that was not supposed to be there.  Upon further investigation, I realized that I just crunched my tooth in half.  I spit everything out and sitting right there was half of my tooth.  Luckily it didn't hurt.  But it sent me into a nice downward spiral of worry and wallowing. 

I suppose (and was told) that had I kept up on my semi-annual appointments that perhaps this may have been caught.  I tried to explain to my oh so nice dentist that "It wasn't him".  And that I have a massive fear of dentistry since I had a horrible, torturous and traumatizing dental experience when I was about 15.  In which they stabbed me in the gums with wooden toothpick thingies and continued to drill even though I asked them to stop.  So since then I have not been a fan.  My dentist is great and understands my fear but continues to harass me all in good fun when I do make it in and makes a point to tell the receptionist not to get attached to me since she will never see me again. 

So I not only saw one dentist, I saw two.  I got to experience my very first root canal today.  Which wasn't that bad.  The dentist and assistant were both very nice.  I am a little sore, other than that I feel okay.  But to do all of this I had to secure the truck and find a last minute baby sitter.  So on top of the dental visit, root canal fees and baby sitter charge I am in the hole.  So you can see why I am a little whiny. 

It always seems that whenever I am trying to be healthy it bites me in the butt.  Nice healthy granola caused me to loose a tooth and working out has been put on the back burner since I feel too crappy to do anything.  And for some reason whenever I feel like crap all I want is food that is horrible in one way or another.   Hello Resses Pb cups!   

On top of all this Clover has caught a nice little winter virus.  I am pretty sure that we have caught the same virus so we are both tired, whiny and sick.

Maybe I should have warned you in the beginning that I was a little whiny?
