Friday Updates

Count down to Christmas Eve is 14 days!!

Okay guys and gals... I'm here to update you all on my wonderful Friday.  So, last night around 9pm, I stopped eating and drinking for my fabulous glucose test this morning.

I was up at 7am and out the door to my mom's to drop the Princess off by 830am.  I got to the lab at 9am and immediatly had that wonderfully sugary-orange soda drink.  Really, it wasn't that bad... Thankfully they keep them really cold.  So, I downed that drink in the allowed 5 minutes and then it was off to the bathroom to leave a sample... Having to pee in a cup is something I just can't stand!  But I did it anyways.

They started the timer and I settled into my seat to read the People magazine that I put aside just for today.  About 30 minutes into the waiting, I noticed that Zachary was just moving all about... I guess the sugar was getting to him.  Finally, the hour was up and they took my blood... 3 viles full!  Argh.  Luckily the lady that did it didn't have a hard time finding my vein and used a rather small needle... What a doll :D

So, I did go and get my test done ya'll.  See... I kept my word!  LOL.  After the test it was off to my mom's to get Rowan and her and head to the mall for some Christmas shopping.

Now, at the mall, I started to feel weird.  I hadn't had anything to eat besides half of a yogurt parfit from McDonalds and some Diet Coke after the test... And all of the sudden I'm getting really hot and starting to sweat.  Mind you, I can't wear a lot of clothes, so don't think I'm doubled up in some thick sweater or something.  I just have a plain shirt on with my jeans.  So, my mom and Rowan go get in the Santa line and I'm in a store getting a gift card for my niece when I start to get the shakes.  Not too bad at first... But by the time I get to the register and go to sign the reciept, my hand is shaking uncontrolably.  That was too weird for me, since I've never experienced something like that.

Well, I make it out of the store and head towards the elevator (because I have the stroller filled with bags) when I realize I need something to eat and drink now or I'm going to go insane with the shaking and the sweating!  So, I go to Hot Dog On A Stick and get a large lemonade for my mom and I and a hot dog for me.  I swear, I don't remember ever eating something sooo quickly!  I scarfed it down.

By the time I got to my Mom and Rowan in the Santa line, I was shaking pretty badly.  But once I ate the hot dog and drank some of the lemonade, I was feeling better... About 15 mins after eating, the shakes were gone.  But geeze, I don't want to experience anything like that again!!  I guess maybe because I hadn't really eaten all day and with the glucose drink in my system it kinda wacked my body out... Weird.

Anywho... Enough about that...

Miss Rowan did sit on Santa's lap today... We were very impressed with her!  She even told him what she wanted (a purple bike) and said Please after her request!  How cute.  I did get some pictures, so I will be posting those... Just not tonight, I'm exhausted!

Oh yes.  I just about finished my Christmas shopping today.  I finished everyone but one of our nieces (does anyone have any ideas for a 9yr old?) and Rowan.  But Rowan will have to be done with the Hubby and I.  We like to shop together for her... But other than that, I need to start wrapping.  I guess a trip to Target to get boxes, paper, tape and scissors is in order!  Cause there is only 14 days left until I have to give half of the presents I bought to the people they belong to!

Well, I think thats all I can spurt out for tonight... I need to go to bed!!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend... And I'll catch up on journals soon!

HUGS TO ALL....
