I have been starving all morning just because I haven’t had anytime to sit down and at least try to enjoy a meal. Every time I get a chance to myself one of my kids needs me, or my husband needs to talk to me, or whatever. I mowed half the lawn here, made breakfast and lunch so far, washed dishes, did laundry, paid my bills, took my daughter to cheer leading this morning and also took my son with me to go grocery shopping. I have had a very long day, so I’m going to go to a fast food restaurant in a minute and grab something for myself so this headache will go away.
Cheer on!
My daughter has just brought to my attention that she wants to be a cheerleader at her school next year and try outs are in a week. I was a cheerleader in high school myself and it actually helped me academically and sociably, so I told her that I’ll be cheering her on, because I think it would be a great experience for her and give her a chance to meet new girls and maybe make some new friends. I cant wait to see her cheering at games next year, I know she’ll be great, she so flexible and very talented in dance, so cheer leading should be a piece of cake for her.
I’m so happy for her
My best friend has just moved here from Maine and is just getting settled in. Within a few weeks she has met one of my close guy friends and had started dating him not too long ago. She seems to be in a happy little world of her own, which makes me happy, because for a while there she thought she wasn’t going to find a good guy the treated her right and all, now shes happier then she ever imagined. I’m so happy for her, I hope she gets everything she ever dreamed of.
Rainy Days
It has been raining like crazy since last week, and its supposed to keep raining all weekend long. My kids have been driving me crazy with the whole “I’m bored” spiel ever since Thursday, because my kids are usually always outside playing sports or playing in the yard with toys and friends. My son especially, he absolutely loves playing basketball all day, everyday. The weekends are usually my time to relax since I work all week at two full time jobs and most of the time worn out and not being able to move at all after work, but I almost always try to make time for family events or just little things to do with the kids to keep them happy and cheerful. Hubby on the other hand, sometimes is required to work on the weekends but usually most of the time comes home and plays with the kids until they all can’t move, which I think is so awesome that he does that. But this weekend is a little hard on all of us, Hubby and I are both feeling a bit sick and can hardly get the energy to move to do anything, and the kids are so bored because its rainy heavily outside and they cant do any activities they normally do. SO I got up today and went to the movie store an rented quit a few movies for them that they have been wanting to see here for a while, and hopefully it keeps them busy long enough to where we can feel better and do family things again. I hope it stops pouring out there soon, I’ll smile big when it happens, I know my kids sure will be smiling big.
My Son is missing school more and more
My Son has been having stomach issues for the past year now, and has been missing way too many days of school. I honestly think that they will hold him back a year, but the doctor has told me he thinks it’s depression and it’s something that a pill wouldn’t solve. Months later, there is no sign of him getting better, so I came to a conclusion that my son is not depressed, he is the happiest little boy ever. He just wakes up in the morning and has painful tummy aches that we can’t seem to figure out the reasoning for. I don’t know what to do, and hopefully the doctor we go to next week can help us out on this error of judgement from the other doctor.
Myspace madness
I had recently watched on the news that a teenage girl was brutally attacked and badly beaten all starting with Myspace. Myspace if you haven’t heard, is a website on the Internet allowing everyone and to make a profile about themselves and chat with friends, family, and everyone else in the world. Well I think Myspace from the looks of it, is a bad ideal to have simply because of all the beating and rapes that happen all starting with Myspace. Something must be done here before anything else can happen. My oldest daughter got her MySpace up and running about a year ago and now the youngest one wants one, don’t know if that will happen!
Mommy is going to cook dinner tonight
Today my sister had sent me a few receipts over the Internet that her and her family seemed to enjoy, and I find them to be very different then what we usually eat in my household. My son and I are going to go shopping for the ingredients we need to make something new and tasty that the entire family will love to eat for dinner, plus I think I need to do more cooking, I’ve been slacking in that area lately. By the way I do love my husband’s attempt in “Southern cooking”, but I do think it’s time for mommy to step in and take charge of the kitchen once again, and have a part in sitting down with the family and smiling and enjoying our delicious new food experiences.
Full bellies before it’s time to go to bed of course, I always say, or you wont have a good night’s sleep. My son had told me that he wants to help mommy cook dinner tonight, which by the way I think is an absolute great and fantastic idea. I can’t wait to try out our new food creations, and hopefully we won’t burn the kitchen down in the process!
Too many E.R. trips
Last week my eldest daughter spent a good amount of the week in the E.R. (three separate trips) and one of the times by an ambulance. It was a very scary week and I’m glad that it is over and that she is feeling better.
While at the E.R. we had the opportunity to see the Medical Helicopter land right there in front of us, apparently the patient was having a heart attack and they needed to get him there pronto – hence the helicopter need.
It did spark my interest in the Air Ambulance business, so one night when I was surfing the net I ran across a link that took me to www.aerocare.com, an air ambulance service. It was very interesting, not a job for just anybody, that is for sure. I have a lot of respect for the people that do this kind of work, what skills and talent they have and what a wonderful opportunity to put those skills to use in helping people in their time of need, and saving lives, too cool.
It’s nice to know that if we ever have the need air ambulance transportation is available, let’s just hope we never have that need.
Daughter’s surgery – Part III
“That happiness didn’t last that long. Friday morning I woke up feeling nauseous, and had a fever up to 101.5 and had throbbing pain when I moved AT ALL! I had called the ambulance again, and they took me back to the ER, and that same Doctor that told me if anything like a fever, or unbeatable pain came back, then I should come straight back immediately! So I did, and that Doctor Scolded me out for being there! He was so ignorant, that he made the impression on me that he was only doing the job for the money, and he didn’t care about his patients. I couldn’t believe it. So after me giving him a mouthful he finally admitted me to a room to myself again, and had care given to me by anyone but him. The next day, the Doctor came in and apologized to me about his attitude, and told me more proper procedures I could take. So I took the best options that were possible, and had chosen to get my second surgery done at the end of this new week. As of right now, I’m still in pain, but not close to what I was in before, and praying to God that he helps me through this time.”
My first surgery (part two)
Well I’ll try to finish my story now:
Thursday morning came along and I was starting to feel the Throbbing pains again, thankfully, the IVs saved me again. About when 9:00 comes along, the Doctor with no personality came in and told me that his two surgery appointment’s had been canceled, and I was next in line. So he drew on my tummy and put the whole hair net on me, and I had asked the Doctor a few questions, paranoid at that, being my first surgery and all, and had told me “Don’t worry about it, of course it’ll hurt, but it’ll be OK, just let me do my job and get it over with!” I was like “WHAT?!” What kinda Doctor doesn’t answer questions before Surgery? This Doctor had upset me to the point of no return. He had put me under, and I had woken up about three hours later with my Daughter there by my side. The Doctor came in again and explained the procedure I went through, telling me that he put a stint in my kidney so it could drain out the infected fluids, and so it could help the Kidney Stone pass on its own, which he said there was a 50/50 chance that would happen. So he had told me to go home later, take my medicine as prescribed, and return next Monday to get the stint removed and hopefully laser the Stone to break it up into little pieces so it’ll pass if it already didn’t. So I went home, happy as can be because I had finally found out what was wrong with me.
Guess I’ll try and finish this later, kids are hollering for me to fix dinner, ugh!
