Burning Ring of Fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down
The flames they went higher
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire


To put it bluntly, this sucks! I've never been one to get heartburn except on a rare occasion... starting this week, my pregnancy seems to have changed all that. And here it is, almost 3AM and I cannot sleep because of it (yes, I am playing the sympathy card - do I get any?)

I've searched the internet high and low and if I come across one more website with helpful hints on avoiding it, I will scream! What I want/need is a natural remedy that is baby-safe... no drugs (hint: read my last post). So right now I am sitting here drinking a glass of apple cider vinegar water. Which the poster swears by... and it is not doing a damn thing for me.

If I also didn't have a sinus cold at the moment (more sympathy!), I could drink some milk or eat yogurt. But the whole dairy thing won't really play nice with the sinuses. Which I can't take any drugs for either . It may be a matter of the lesser of 2 evils at this point... Oh well, enough of my whining for now. But it is 3 in the morning and who else is gonna listen to me???

i always!!! give you sympathy BUT if those lyrics you are layin down are a way of lettin me know the name for your baby is not paddy boy but lil johnny then you can halve that sympathy! nuff said. 2 bites of REAL vanilla ice cream shouldnt mess with your sinus situation. you could also eat some chalk.

chalk. yum. I'm so excited.

I've found that warm milk with a teaspoon of honey does double duty - helps the hb and puts me to sleep :)
