How addictive is it?

I went to the doctor yesterday for my insomnia. She had to start me off on Ambien 10...which she stated was highly addictive and was a controlled substance...GREAT! She also said that if it didn't work and I didn't start to feel better and the headaches weren't gone within 10 days, I had to go back for something stronger. On top of that...she said all the symptoms I gave her also pointed to a thyroid problem...and after examining my throat...she said my thyroid was enlarged. She took tons of blood and said she would call me back with the results.

The thing that scares me is that she said that once I start using Ambien, I won't be able to go to sleep without it and that I will have to "wean" myself off of it. This doesn't seem like my longtime
solution...but I am grateful for the 10 hours of sleep I got last night. I took the pill at 9:30 and don't remember 10pm. I woke up at 8 this morning feeling great!

Tucker is not feeling well today...so he's been lounging around the house. Taylor who evidentially got the memo that she has officially turned 2 and can start acting like a total brat...decided to disobey the memo yesterday and has been back to her usual happy-go-lucky self. For about 10 days all she did was scream and throw temper tantrums...it was horrible! Lucky for all of us she's been much better so far this week. Turner has been growing like a weed and has started to refuse to eat bottles. He would rather have his whole milk and table food. I would say that it was a good thing, saving money on formula and everything...but the way this kid eats, I don't know which is cheaper...formula or half a cow?

My laptop is still in the shop, Best Buy said it should be fixed and shipped back to me by the end of the week...the screen went out again. If it happens again, I get a new computer. Anywhoo...once my laptop is back, I'll download some updated pics for everyone.
