the holidays

overall they were great! E got a ton of toys (mostly from us) but we all had a great time. On our way to my parents 2nd home, we stopped off to see a college friend of mine who was in town fo the weekend and it was so nice to see her! she looks wonderful, has a great job and lives in a cool city! :)

then we headed to the house where we had our obligatory yearly flu hit - 24 hour flu. nice. well, being pregnant made this much harder than it should have been. and now the doctors think that i might have a problem w/ a hemorrhoid. Nice. I am old. Anyway, the OB nicely calld in a prescription for me and if this doesn't work, I will have to go in and get it lanced off this weekend. I am so upset. Weird crap always happens to me. Who gets a blood clot from the 24 hour flu?!?! 1/1,000,000,000 people probably and I happen to be that 1. the BEST thing was when the OB nurse asked if I could see the area and if it was purple. I just laughed. Dude. I am 6 mos pg and carrying low. You think I can contort myself to the point at which I can see that area?!? Doctors sleigh me.

so, nice hubby and my daughter are on their 40 min jaunt to the pharmacy for me to get the stupid prescription. if it doesn't work by tomorrow, off to the ob i go. :( although, i have to say one of my friends has a tooth problem - i am pretty darn sure that i would rather have this problem than a tooth problem since my fear of dentists overrides my pain level right now.
