I got an e-mail this morning from Melany Violette of Simply Clean Digi Scraps saying that I won her Make Me A Header & Make Me a Blinkie contest! The prizes were a $15 g.c. from the Shabby Shoppe and a $10 g.c. from the Simply Clean Digi Scraps Shoppe! Awesome! I've already used both, as I'm sure most of you would. :)
From the Shabby Shoppe, the kits I picked were Girly Girl (clean version) by Taran Conyers, Miami Beach & Happy.
From the Simply Clean Digi Scraps Shoppe, the kits I picked were Be My Sunshine, Shades of Sand & Sea, Springtime Doodlebugs & Summertime Doodlebugs. I bought the Bedtime Doodlebugs a few days ago so I didn't need that one. :)
I got to sleep in this morning, my oldest daughter & hubby are gone for the afternoon and I won stuff. What a perfect day! :)
Also, I MAY have a little secret, but I won't be able to spill it until next week probably. Shh... :)

Forgot to mention...
I won 3rd place in Sara Carling's "Logo Me" contest! I won 4 of her kits! :) It was such a hard decision to choose only 4, but I chose Boyish Charm, Splendor, Pure Vanilla & Funky Phresh.

Pic of Kristen
For those of you who want to see her, here she is, taken this morning. She keeps asking when she'll get her teeth back and that she misses her teeth. :( Breaks my heart I tell ya...

My 3 year old had an accident
and needed to get her 2 front teeth extracted. :( I feel so bad for her. She won't get them back until 6, probably 7 years old! She was going up the stairs, probably a bit too fast, and fell forward, knocking her 2 front teeth in. A dentist at the office we go to stayed late just to see her. He said that the roots went so far forward that when he moved them back, it could damage her adult teeth, become looser and possibly then fall out and be swallowed by her, or cause an infection, so he had to take them out. Turned out the teeth only seemed like they weren't loose. When he shifted them to take them out they were totally loose and almost fell out by themselves.
He and the assistant said that she was the bravest girl they have ever had in his office. I must say, I do think she is very brave having to go through a broken arm at 20 months and now this. I guess I'll just have a "toothless wonder" for the next 3 years! :) Pics to come tomorrow.
On another topic.... I went the my allergist tonight and found out I'm allergic to dust mites, a bit of ragweed and a bit of grass pollen. At least I know what to do now. Better than not knowing anything at all!

WooHoo! :)
Guess I don't have to reformat after all! I found a neat program (www.CCleaner.com) that cleans your registry and your temporary files. It fixed the problem that I was having! The computer is still slow, but that's a whole other problem! LOL

I have a new name...
it's Mommia (pronounced Mom-ME-a). That's how Kristen calls my name, rather, screams it, lately. MOMMY-a...look at this...MOMMY-a....look at that. It's cute, but driving me crazy nonetheless. :)

Valentine's Day gifts
I finally got them all packaged up last night. I think they are pretty cute! Here is a pic of them and what the Valentine's cards look like. Kristen got some Care Bears chocolate hearts as well with her gift.

Went to the doctors...
She didn't really say what it is that I have. She prescribed me Cirtirizine HCl (brand name Reactine) 20mg and more Ranitidine and wrote me a referral to Dr.Fraser, the allergist. I have an app't with him on the 21st at 7:30pm. It is kind of late, but one night won't hurt the kids. Barry will drop me off and then go to his parents house for an hour then come back and get me. Luckily, the allergist is in the same medical building as my doctor.
She said that I could have become sensitive to anything in my life for no particular reason. So maybe the laundry detergent I've been using for a long time now is too strong for me, or the soap, shampoo, dish detergent, etc. Who knows? I hope the allergist will be able to tell me something...anything about what is wrong with me!

She did it! :)
Kaylee finally rolled over last night! I got it on mini-video too! On January 22nd she did roll over, but I think when I put her down on her belly, her arms were in a better position to do it, so it was sort of a fluke. Last night she was on her back and rolled over to her belly -- twice! Kristen was just shy of 4 months old when she first rolled over, so I was thinking Kaylee was a bit slow, but I think Kristen was advanced in a lot of things, so I shouldn't compare the two, although it's really hard not to! I'm such a proud mommy of my little chub-a-lub! :) Also, I weighed her today (the "her & me then just me" way) and she is a chubby 17lbs! 5 months and already 17lbs...wow. I guess she's just mamma's little piggy. :)

Update on me
Sorry I haven't updated lately. This hives thing is really getting me depressed. I have no appetite, feel like crying quite a bit, and I just want to sleep all the time. I've had it for almost 2 weeks now, and it seems like it's going to go on forever. I was searching online for my symptoms and it looks like I could possibly have something called Dermographism. It's where you can write on your skin with your nail, then a few minutes later it turns red, swells and begins to itch. From what I've read on some forums, this could last decades. Not fun!
Today wasn't so bad. I only had a few itchy spots because of me accidentally scratching myself. I still keep searching myself constantly because I keep thinking that there should be more. Right now I'm taking Claritin (an H1 blocker) and Ranitidine (an H2 blocker) and it seems to be getting better each day. It's weird though because the Ranitidine is for acid reflux. I have a bunch left over from when I was pregnant with Kaylee and I read somewhere that sometimes it takes both H1 &H2 blockers to help the hives. Well, it worked. I've only had a few spots each day since I started taking the Ranitidine along with the Claritin.
I have a doctor's app't next Wednesday to talk to the doctor about my hives. I think she'll probably refer me to an allergist to see if we can find out why it's happening. I am praying to God that I can find out, because I can't imagine living with the itchies for the rest of my life!
Barry just left an hour and a half ago to work in Yarmouth this weekend. I SO didn't want him to go! With the way I'm feeling, I really need him right now. But, it's his job and it is money that we need. I don't understand why they hired him for the new "position". He was supposed to be working in the office 50% of the time, and out in the field the other 50%, plus he wasn't supposed to go away anymore. He's only been in the office...I'd say about 10% and this is his 2nd or 3rd time going away! The last time was for 5 days. Good thing he didn't take a pay cut for this so-called position!
Anyway, it's almost 9:30pm, and I think I'm off to bed. I'm taping Ghost Whisperer for Barry right now, so I might as well wait to watch it later. The girls are both in bed fast asleep, so I think I should go and join them! I hope I didn't worry anyone by not updating. Worrying about stuff is the pits! :(
