good. grief.

It's been a bit.  We've had alot (to say the least) going on.  I had started a post before we left on our weekend getaway.  This was it....

Have you ever heard the song ironic? 
the line of my life right now...

                                 Well life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you
                                 When you think every thing's okay and every thing's goin' right

Last month at this time I was residing on cloud nine, only suffering from minor major gas, looking for new little girl bedding and imagining how I can finally have a reason to decorate with birds.  Now, as I sit here typing this I am no longer pregnant, my mom has something 'growing on her jaw', my best friend has a shadow in her kidney and my uncle is in ICU surviving by only tubes and machines.

Note to world: I can't handle anything else.  I'm at my capacity.  Please stop all the bad stuff, ok?  Thanks.

I am only hours away from officially starting spring break and leaving on our much needed weekend getaway!  4 days of hotel paradise and watching PGA hotties swing their shafts.  You have NO idea how incredibly excited I am!!!  I will be coming home with clean pores and beautiful nails...husband will be coming home with a new golf score under his belt.  Ohhhh...the free beer, food, sun, and eye candy..I CAN'T WAIT!!!!



So, that was what was written hours before we left.  Needless to say, it was not paradise.  We arrived at Innisbrook and it was amazing.  Everywhere you looked was perfectly manicured lawn and the best part...it was all FREE!!!!  Since we got there early we weren't able to check into our room yet.  So, we got our golf passes and headed out where I immediately set my eyes on this:

golf?  yes, please.

Husband was such a good sport and went right along with my oogiling of Ogilvy.  Good gracious, does this man have the most amazing eyes?  um, yes...yes, he does.  just think: Caribbean water with a touch of coral reef (to make them darker in spots).  You may be wondering...how in the world did she notice all that in one quick glance?  Well my friends, I...am an eye person.  Always have been, always will be.  And these eyes...one of the best...EVER.

After watching Mr. O (how appropriate) a few holes we went to our tent and proceeded to drink a few brews.  A few hours later we went to dinner.  Now...if you know me, you know I'm NOT really a fan of strangers, especially eating dinner with them.
We get to the restaurant and our reservation is for a table of 14.  FOURTEEN.  That means there are going to be 12 people there that I don't know, that I will be forced to eat with.  That means...small talk.  UGGGGH.
I ended up ordering the seabass.  Probably the finest piece of seabass on the face of the planet.  Tender, juicy, sweet, salty, amazing.  I gobbled it up and we got dessert to go (because can anyone really eat a meal without something sweet at the end?).  Needless to say, I survived the smalltalk just fine and actually ended up really liking one of the ladies that was hosting the whole shabang. 

Get back to the room and I wasn't really feeling so great.  My back/side area had been hurting throughout the day, but I thought it was from riding in the car and walking around.  No biggie.  I was WRONG. Very, very wrong.  About an hour after we got back I ended up getting sick.  I thought maybe it was just from the excitement...I was glad I had done it while I was still awake...now I could go to sleep and prepare my pores for the cleaning of their lives! 

Sleep?  Not so much.  I continued to get sick throughout the night and the pain in my side grew more and more intense.  I took several showers thinking that would relax me enough to fall asleep.  I just kept thinking...if I could only fall asleep, I'll walk up in the morning and everything will be fine!  Well, I didn't sleep.  In fact at about 4 am I woke up husband and said, I need help.  We were going to go to the ER but I pretty much couldn't move at ALL.  So...we did it.  We called 911.  Looking back I'm glad we did it...but that is one bill I do NOT want to get in the mail! 

Ambulance took me in, ran a bunch of tests and come to find out...a ruptured ovarian cyst.  Fabulous.  Add that to the list of shitty things going on right now.  Ok, well...at least I know what it is and I had medicine for it.  Oh...did I happen to mention I also had an entire bowel full of shit and an abdomen full of gas?  Yeah..that too. 

So...fast forward 4 days and our trip is over.  4 free days at an amazing hotel...spent in bed.  Good points: we had a king bed, and cable.  :)

Monday I went to the Dr, who referred me to a GI doctor.  A 30 year old who needs a GI doctor?!  Good. Grief.

So, pretty sure things are getting back to normal now.  Working on changing my diet, adding fiber, water and exercise.  Hopefully that helps! 

Spring break is pretty much over.  :(  Went to the beach once with the lovely ladies - it was perfect out.  Absolutely perfect. Just wish I had a few more days of it before heading back to drama cove. 

Countdown to hell FCAT, 10 school days.

Oh...and to officially ring in the sun...now sporting highlights.  That's right baby...bringing out the blonde.  :)  Be ready world...here I come!
