Damn that Flo

Ugh, if it ain't one thing, it's another. That bitch Flo showed up today. I could be wrong, but that makes twice this month. K, granted this is the very last day of this month, but I could have sworn the old bitch wasn't due till at least this weekend. She was sneaky this time too, I didn't get the usual warning signals. Or if I did, it was while I was sick last week and I just didn't notice. She's feelin' onery this time around too, cramps were quite bad this morning. Even a super hot bath didn't knock the pain out, so I took a muscle relaxer, called off school today and went to bed. Thank the Gods for muscle relaxers. Four hours later, pain is gone (fer a while) and though I am a lil bit sllloooooooowwwwwww I am a happy woman. Hubby is supposed to pick up some Therma Care wraps before he comes home. I find if I use the ones meant for lower back pain (the ones that wrap around and velcro like a back brace) I get much better results than I did from the ones meant for cramps. So, if he gets home before the pain kicks in again I'l be good to go.

Needless to say, I haven't touched the sweater. I wasn't in the mood yesterday so I surfed recipe sites. I ended up making a delicious dinner. Fajitas with a yummy marinade Tortillas Mexican Rice and canned refried beans. I was tickled with myself =) This is the first time I've ever made Mexican Rice that tasted like it should. (Unless it came from a box) so I was very impressed with myself. B helped me with the tortillas too. He cooked them while I rolled them out. The whole dinner took a couple of hours of kitchen time, but it was well worth it. I do have to say though, I either need a good rolling pin (ya know, one that has both it's handles would be nice) or a tortilla press. The heels of my hands are talking to me a bit today after rolling out so many tortillas last night lol. Hubby was quite impressed with me to I think =) Other than the beans, everything was made from scratch. I didn't even hear a grumble when he did the dishes *g* and there were lots of dishes.

I dunno what I'm going to feed them tonight though. The freezer is a little bare in the meat department. No time for the big ass roast, there are some sort of pork chop like things in there I think. I could thaw those out and cut em into bits to throw into some fried rice. Or the boys could fend for themselves if I feel really lazy.

Well, I guess I'm gonna get off here and see if I can't drink some coffee to get rid of this drug induced fog in my brain lol.
