Icky Itchy Eggama

Last night at around 9:20 I was excited to finally get a moment to sit on my comfy couch with a bowl of popcorn and relax. Little Chick had fallen asleep by 7:30, I published yesterday's post, I washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and folded the laundry. Ahhhh, it was now time for me to get cozy with Bret Michaels and the Donald on Celebrity Apprentice. It is not often that I finally get these "me" moments, but as I mentioned in my first post, I am trying to find some "balance". Why not start with a little relaxation and of course, sexy Bret Michaels.

So there I am, losing myself in Bret Michaels' baby blues (Gotta love rock stars! You know I used to date a famous rock star. Yes, I said date. I wasn't a groupie. We were together for over two years. But that is another era and another story. Now I am in mommy land and loving it!) and I heard a noise. I instantly stopped munching my delicious popcorn, pressed mute and sat as quiet as a church mouse. A part of me thought that if I sat as still as possible maybe my relaxing moment could continue a little longer. After about ten seconds there it was again but even louder. "Mommmmmmyyyyyy! Come up stairs! " I looked at Bret and told him not to worry I would soon be back. However my mommy instincts told me otherwise.

I ran up the stairs and there was Little Chick scratching away at her arms and neck. My poor daughter has had eczema since she was a tiny baby. She looked up at me and said, "Mommy, that icky itchy eggama won't go away." It took her a while to settle down from all the itching and she finally fell asleep at around 11:25. So I ended up packing it in for the night. Oh well, there is always next weeks episode of Celebrity Apprentice. Let's see how it goes with Dancing with the Stars tonight.

Fans, non fans, and people who don't even know who Bret Michaels is please send out good thoughts and prayers that he will recover fully and be out of the hospital soon.
