Ok – so I’m not the best at keeping my blog updating.  Mostly because life is trivial and speaking about life every day is boring. LOL

Our built-in microwave died.  I have a couple of issues with this.  #1 – our house is only 3 years old.  And thusly the microwave is only 3 years old.  Pathetic life time.  There should be some kind of law stating that appliances and such need to last longer than that.  If there was an option to purchase an appliance with a longer life time, I would.  Even by purchasing the extended warranty, you are not guaranteed a longer-lasting product – you just pay money get hassled by the company that wants to do everything in order to NOT replace your product.  The other issue I have is the landfill factor.  I am always trying to recycle and avoid throwing things in the garbage and early-failing appliances seem to be more of the norm than the exception.

Other catching up – the lexapro is on it’s way out.  I forgot if I mentioned I was also put on Wellbutrin.  If was basically supposed to be peppier and make me want to move and then I would sleep better at night.  Yeah, that didn’t work.  It basically put me to sleep more.  It made me very druggy and draggy.

So, then I decided that I am not liking the side effects of the Lexapro and I would rather deal with my slight depression.  So, I’m about 1 week away from being Lexapro free. I’ve been luck in that I have been able to half my doses and not suffer withdrawal.  I wanted to be able to doge that bullet – as nausea, vomiting, headaches and brain zaps didn’t sound very pleasant. LOL

Zach is speaking more.  AJ is acting more like a 4-year-old than a 3-month old.  And Dan is working.  LOL  I’m fine.  I’m getting this feeling that the winter is going to be a long, cold winter.  Batten down the hatches.  The kids are going to need an outlet.  Thank heavens we have a DuPage Children’s Museum.

Wish me luck.
