She Slept With A Married Man & Ate Acorn Squash!

What a funny title but it's true.  I'm trying to eat healthy, so I decided tonight for my nighttime snack I was going to eat a sweet potato instead of a bag of chips.  Baking 1 sweet potato for a snack seems so odd until I have a flashback.  I had graduated from college and moved to Baton Rouge.  Not knowing the city and being a tightwad lead me to having roomates (all girls of course).  This one roomate I had I so admired from a distance.  She was tall, thin, very neat, and going to school to be a mechanical engineer.  I thought she was so smart to be studying a field dominated by men.  I'm not going to judge my roomate too much because she helped me out on many occasions.  I remember one night a guy shows up to see me like at midnight, she told him to get lost that I was sleeping because I had to get to work early the next day.  My Savior...  Wait a minute!!!.. I just remembered we shared a room.  There was Desiree in her twin bed on one side of the room and there was my roomate in her twin bed plus her boyfriend of the moment on the other side of the room (4 feet apart).  I remember putting the pillow over my head many of nights..... GROSS but TRUE.  Now the married man was just one occasion that I remember.  There was a knock on the door, I answered it, and there standing was a 40 year old married man.  I was shocked because we were only 21 years old.  He wasn't there to see me obiviously.... I asked no questions...Now That's Shocking....Young Desiree never asking.... Who?...What?...When?...and Where?... That really was Young Desiree who now "Puts all her business on the streets". Then there was the time this Tall Tall Amazonish guy wanted to be with me & my roomate.  I thought come on Desiree be Sophisticated & Swinging.  We all 3 go to the store to get Bubbles?...WTF?.....Back at our appartment in our living room, Tall Tall Amazonish guy told me to kiss my roomate.... I said to myself, "Oh, Hell No, Party Is Over"..... I then Ran To My Room and Locked The Door.  Those Swinging 80's were Somethin' Ay?....  What about the Acorn Squash?  Well I'm the type of person if I'm hungry, I eat.  I never wait for anything.  Here's my roomate who was starving takes an acorn squash, wraps it in foil, and sticks it into the oven for an hour.  I though, "An Hour?... Wow, What Discipline!".... She goes back to studying and patiently waits for her Acorn Squash.  I on the other hand think for an hour, "What's Acorn Squash?"... The End~

YOUR MAMA IS DRUNK!

I just read in the paper yesterday that the manufactors of the drug Ambien are having to change it's strength from 10mg to 6.5mg on orders from the FDA. (That probably didn't make sense, it's not like I'm writing with the help of an editor)  It seems there have been too many automobile accidents due to the grogginess the medicine causes the next morning, the sleep driving, and the sleep eating you do on this drug..... just to name a few.  I know all about this drug because I've been on this medication for 20 years.  Am I addicted?.... Am I using it as a Crutch?.....Is it Habit Forming?.... Yup, Yup, &Yup.... When you are Bi Polar you do what you gotta do.  About 14 years ago my daughters where 8, 6, & 4.  My husband was out of town playing golf.  I use to get so pissed off when he went with the boys for the weeken, and I was stuck home taking caring of the girls.  Now that my girls are grown, I'm so enjoying my independence again.  Those fights we use to have about golf are long gone.  Now that I don't give a sh@# if my huband plays golf, there's no money for him to play, unless a vendor brings him then he wins and brings home the same stuff..... a shirt, some balls, a bag, some tees and a gilf certificate to guess where? ..... A Golf Store.  Ain't that somethin'.  Getting back to the Ambien story.   My daughters decided to have a sleep-over.  So that would be 4 girls all under 8 years old.  I wanted to get a good night sleep so I took 2/10mg Ambiens added to the Trivil & Prozac I was on.  I woke up the next morning with Cold & Cough Medicines, Nyquil, Asprins, Pepto Bismol, Band-Aids and fingernail polish strewn everywhere, on my bed and on my nightstand.  I got the story the next morning from my 8 year old.  She said her friend said, "YOUR MAMA IS DRUNK we need to help her." The poor little girls' parents were recovering alcoholics so that's what she thought.  It seems when I was in my Ambien induced Coma the girls had polished my nails, my hands, my eyelids all while I slept. I don't know what they did with all those medicines.  Evidently I didn't ingest all that, expecially Nyquil because I'm still here.  Like Nyquil or any cold medicine would do anything anyway because if you see what I take now to go to sleep?...It's like 2 Horse and 3 other pills all at the same time and I still sometimes can't sleep.  What a great mother I was.  I was over protective in some ways like my girls riding in a car other than me driving would cause me lots of anxiety and yet I never thought to lock up medicines.  Then my daughter told me that I got up out of the bed and had all the girls sit in a circle to drink lemonade out of a bottle.  My oldest daughter said it wasn't lemonade, it was wine coolers.  She said she knew it was bad so she dumped the wine coolers in the sink.  I'm such an over pretective mother, I find this story so bizarre and hard to believe, but it really happened.  I will admit to driving to Wal Mart in my nightgown, buying Hershey Kisses, eating them and returning to bed.  I did that ONE time.  I will also admit to calling random people and have entire conversations, but not remembering any of it the next day.  Now that I've been on Ambien for 20 years I know better.  No more crazy stuff.  I now simply watch Netflx until I fall asleeep then watch it again the next day because it's like I didn't watch it at all.  The end~
