“Amber, go rest.”
“Why aren’t you sitting down?”
These are some things my husband keeps saying to me. I get that I just had a miscarriage. But I’ve also never been one of those people who can just laze around.
“Seriously, I’ll clean that,” Tom said, taking the roll of paper towels from me.
He’s been great. I know he’s just looking out for me.
I also want everyone to know that I appreciate your kind comments. I read them all.
I am feeling better with each day. I do rest if I start to feel tired.
Something that has been cheering me up are sno cones, which sounds odd, but I love them. I mean, look at all the flavors:
Can someone explain what Beetle Juice is? And Silver Fox?
I usually stick with what I know. Dreamsicle.
What flavor would you go for?

Never been a fan of Sno Cones...my teeth are really, really sensitive to cold. I have a hard time w/ice cream which is sinful b/c it's soooo good!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're doing a little better, but taking it easy when you know you need to. I have a hard time lazing around too...it's just not in me.
I'm glad you are feeling a little better, sno cones definitely help! I usually stick with bubble gum or the blue one.. I can't remember which flavor it is. I used to have a sno cone maker, but I left it at our old house which makes me rather sad.
ReplyDeleteI'll take snocones. Any flavor will do. So glad you are feeling better. Tom sounds wonderful! I'm also so glad they delayed his deployment for you. Family first.
ReplyDeleteBTW - ask for a taste of the crazy ones!
Happy to hear that you're doing well. I want a sno cone now! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are feeling a little better. Tom is a keeper...as if we didn't already know that! :)
ReplyDeleteI like Strawberry Banana snow cones. or cherry or any sno cone really! :)
You have a place that just has snowcones? How cool is that?! I want to know what some of those flavors are - like Jack Sparrow!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling a bit better. I don't know what Beetle Juice is but I would have to try it.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and Dad bought an old sno cone machine and restored it. It is SO much fun! They came and made sno cones for all the kids at Lil Duck's school on the last day. There is just something about them that uncovers even the deepest hidden smiles.
ReplyDeleteI would happily keep you in full supply for as long as you like <3
Silver fox is so yummy! I son't really know how to describe it, but it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have never ever had a sno cone .... they don't make them here in Belgium ... going to have to give it a try one day
ReplyDeleteGlad you are starting to feel better.
That is a LOT of flavours. Wonder if margarita comes with a shot of tequila.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think I would be adventurous and try the Tiger Blood or Sponge Bob, but I'd most likely stick with cherry limeade. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a sno cone machine in my kamp store! The hardest part was choosing which flavors to have on hand. My biggest seller is Tigers Blood. I call it a "Charlie Sheen". Tastes like a mixture of cherry and strawberry. I also opted to get the sour, with just a squirt I can make any flavor pucker your lips!
ReplyDeleteLove sno cones! I usually get Tigers Blood. Have no clue what it is, and it sounds disgusting... lol But its yummy!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a Ninja Turtle? I'd probably go with something with strawberry.
I just read your previous post. I am so very sorry. I am sorry you didn't have a great ER experience.
ReplyDeleteAs an ER nurse I know how things should be, the doc should have spent some serious time with you.
Hugs and loves. Hope you get feeling back to normal (whatever that is) soon. Take care of you and get some good rest.
Root beer with marshmallow topping!!!
ReplyDeleteEnough about snowcones. Take time for yourself blog friend. Lay down when your husband tells you to. He feels helpless. He wants to help. Let him help and let yourself cry all you want. Let your family make the snowcones
ReplyDeleteHugs, Amber!
ReplyDeleteI love trying new things but I adore Blue Hawaiian and Cherry Limeade! Why not ask them what's in the other flavors?? And try it!
I'm glad you are feeling better. But your husband is trying to take care of you.... let him. He experienced this loss too, and maybe this is his way of dealing with it... by taking care of you. I struggled with that last year when I experienced a miscarriage, and then realized it was his way of trying not to feel helpless in the situation ;)
ReplyDeleteSnowcones are awesomesauce!!! Fuzzy navel has always been my fav!!!!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your and your husband's loss. I know it is difficult to deal with, (personally), and yes, it will help your husband to know he can help you. Quite a few years ago, when my oldest daughter was living in San Antonio, (we live in Bedford, TX now) my husband and I would visit them, and we went to the Alamo several times. There were Hispanic vendors there who sold snow cones, but called them "Razpas". We had quite a few of the Razpas because the temperature there in San Antonio was never below 85 or 90. HOT!
My favorite cold treat though, is the Banana Popsicle. Yum!
Best regards to you and your family. Love, Ruby
Glad you are feeling better. I love sno cones. Just about any flavor will do. I think if that store was by me, I would start at the top and try ever flavor.
ReplyDeleteSno cones give me a headache.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about the miscarriage. I hope you are all doing well.
I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I went through that before my two kids and I know it's not an easy thing to go through. Your husband sounds great for being there for you - trying to take care of things to give you a break. He's right - you should rest. Just pick out your favorite flavor of snow cone and take a seat and put your feet up. Looking at the long list - I would have to try birthday cake. It's been so long since I've had one - that's the flavor I would have to try
ReplyDeleteI generally veer away from any food with the word "beetle" in it...
ReplyDeleteSilverfox is almond or almond vanilla, I can't remember, but it's good. Beetle Juice I'm not sure about.
ReplyDeleteTry Tiger's Blood or Tutti Frutti. You can add two flavors like chocolate and coffee together. Whenever I had it in New Orleans (the birthplace of Sno Cones) I always have ice cream in the middle but the locals say the right way is condensed milk. If you like dreamsicles try it as a sno cone with condensed milk.
ReplyDeleteDisfruta!
