Had another Orofacial Pain appt today and the doc wants me off of my Effexor, of course I need to see a psychiatrist to switch my meds. Talk to the people downstairs since my doc is gone and they got me in tomorrow morning at 7am. Ummm, if I'm not depressed because of my life I sure as hell will be because i have to get up so freakin' early in the morning to go see this doc. LOL Supposedly the Effexor is causing my jaw muscles to tense up more (I dunno, all this doc talky-talky stuff wears me out) and if I get onto another med my jaw may heal faster. I hope it works. He also switched me from Percocet to Vicatin (sp?) because I get the itchies from the Percocet. They even tease me at work because I am constantly scratching at my belly or my legs. And the doc verified that I'm not totally nutso because the Ambien (sleeping pill) he gave me kept me up all nite. It has an adverse reaction in very few people, me being one of them. Should've known it because 3 years ago I tried taking Dayquil at work and fell asleep at my desk. I'm not sure what to do about my sleeping issues but hopefully my psych doc will be able to suggest something. I personally think I need a week to myself to get a peaceful nites sleep. LOL
Samantha's attitude has been absolutely HORRIBLE the last few days. She's totally defiant, doesn't move when I ask her to do something, talks back to me constantly. I feel like I'm raising a mini-me and I don't like it...although my mom said someday it would happen. I was hoping she was wrong!
Aaron had duty last nite so I decided to have a "sleepover" with the kids in my bed. I love my kids but OMG they are bedhogs!!! I woke up at 1am. Alex fell off the bed than got p/o'd because he couldn't get back up...Samantha was lying sideways and there was little room for me let alone him as well. Spent the whole nite pushing one or the other off of my back. Woke up about 10 times with a kids hand or foot in my eyeball. Not good since I only had 2 hrs sleep the nite before! Never do that again!!!
I can't wait to go to NY!! I'm ready to start packing already and I still have 4 days before I leave. Gotta make a list of things so I don't forget something expensive and have to purchase it up there to replace (i.e. diapers!). I hope the weather is nice enough for us to go to Connecticut to visit Tricia, Arnie, Maddie & Olivia. Oh, and I hope Karen can bring the girls down to meet us too! How cool would that be!!
Anyway, I'm exhausted. Alex is here trying to lick the yogurt out of the cup I had (but didn't share! Oops!) so I'd better go get him another one.
