Restless Leg Syndrome aka RLS

See this picture below? This is ME, most nights that I am spending with Josh.

Bless his heart. I believe his diagnosis to be Restless Leg Syndrome or RLS.

Typically, this is an issue on the days he works out which usually goes hand in hand with the frequent leg cramps that he gets. The leg cramps occur when he is wide awake and he has to get up, walk around, or massage his legs to alleviate the pain. The spasms that he has in his legs or RLS, occurs when he is SOUND ASLEEP. It's like his body is still awake, though his mind is resting. On the worst nights, it's a constant jerking of the legs about every 20 seconds...on a mild night maybe every 5 to 10 minutes. I hate waking him up but sometimes I just can't sleep and will HAVE to wake him up to either stop or go sleep on the couch.

Most of the material that I have been reading on the internet, his symptoms coincide with RLS and in an effort to confirm this syndrome, he will have to spend the night at a sleep clinic. He's not really thrilled about that idea. However, I think after a year of dealing with this and it being a constant issue, I think I am going to have to PUSH him to go. AND...it will help him not be SOOOO tired in the mornings cause his BODY is getting full rest...and so is MINE!

I'll keep everyone posted on what comes of it! Wish him luck!

SUMMA SUMMA SUMMA TIME...Time to Sit Back and Unwind...

Hello Friends!


Ahhhh what a quick and HOT summer it has been so far. It's hard to believe that it's ALMOST July...that means summer will be half-way over. :(

During summertime, there is a laid back way of living. You wear sandals/flip flops and tanks to work, run around town with your hair wet, drink beer all day (and all night), everyone has the sunkissed glow....AND AS Fresh Prince would say, "it's like summer is a natural afradesiac".




So a recap of what I have been up to this glorious summer of 2011:


In May, Josh and I took a quick weekend gettaway to my Dad's condo in Gulf Shores, AL. If you haven't been to Gulf Shores (at all or lately) it's such a nice beach community. Pretty quiet and chill...they have a few beach bars but nothing overrated...well, except The Hangout. I'm positive this is the very reason why my Dad likes it there. The rest of the month, I worked and tried to visit the pool when possible. At the end of the month, Lala came and we had a good time celebrating Memorial Weekend at the lake in Guntersville.


June has been a busy month so far! We had our Annual Girl's Beach Trip - see the bathing beauties below... MEOW!

The trip went by WAYYY too quickly, but have some great memories to always remember. I cannot wait till next year! The rest of the month (till this point) I am just working my buns off trying to support my two kitties, lol. BTW turn 1 years old next month!!! :)

No BIG events planned for July as of now....trying to get 4th of July plans squared away. Saving moolah for a cruise at the end of this year and getting some minor things done at the house.

Wow - I just realized how BORING my life has gotten! I must get to work on this asap. ;)
