All Better!

In so many more ways than one!

Last week was my neighbor J's birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD FOGIE!!!! and we went out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse, and this past Saturday we went out to the bar. Hehehehe not your usual bar though, we went to the GAY bar!! It was SOOOO much fun! I haven't been out in almost 2 years, and to be able to have some "grown-up" time for the first time in such a LOOOOONG time was great! (I got a little drunk too, coming home to my still sick Baby Daddy, and slurringly asking him, "Oh! Are you my bootie call tonight?" Hehehe) J's wife K shook her little bootie on the dance floor for most of the night, completely oblivious to everyone and everything around her, because she kicks ass like that! (Well, she was checking out some of the hottie lesbians....but then again, so was I! LOL)

Aaron is doing SOOOO much better now. He's over his cold, and he had his 6 month check up. He is so amazing to me sometimes. I've never had a child NOT cry when they get their shots, but this little man was just so incredible. The first shot he didn't cry at all!! Just layed there smiling and cooing at the nurse, babbling away. The second shot, the one that the nurse said makes all the babies scream, he only cried one or two little wails, basically less than two seconds and then he was done. Gave me a dirty look but shot the most adorable little smile at the nurse!

Well, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am in therapy. I recently got my diagnosis from the Psychiatrist, and as it turns out (which means I already knew...), I'm depressed, I "suffer" from social anxiety (well a big D-UH! on that one!), and also not surprisingly I have adult ADHD. Which really makes sense considering that my son has it REALLY bad, and I've always had all of the symptoms. So, they started me on Welbutrin XL, which since I've been taking that, I've noticed one hell of a difference, but thankfully I don't FEEL any difference. Which means that I don't have any of the doped up feeling that comes from the stimulants that they normally prescribe. (The WXL helps with the depression, the anxiety, the ADHD, it helps bring back the desire for a sex life....which had disappeared.... and it will help me lose weight. She also said that if I did smoke, it would help me quit too. Kind of like a wonder drug.)
Let me just say that I am SO thankful for this. I have actually been able to sleep normally because it doesn't take 2 hours to quiet all the chatter in my mind to be able to fall asleep. I get a good nights rest and I've been waking up at 7:30 every morning (without the help of an alarm clock) in a GOOD mood for a change (I've never been a morning person, and now I am!). My mind is quiet enough for me to actually focus on things. And my mood has DRASTICALLY changed! I'm in such a good mood lately that even the things that normally make me too angry don't really seem to bother me anymore. Even my evil ex-mother-in-law doesn't really tick me off too much anymore. <---- That's a freakin' miracle in and of itself!
I've got SO much more energy now too!

Well, I'm being told it's bed time.... so from a much happier me, Ciao!
