Better? I still need to clean it up though.

Can you all spare some pixie dust for my sister? She is in the hospital with a kidney infection. She went to the doctors last week and was treated with antibiotics but apparently she did not respond to them. She has had a round of IV antibiotics and will hopefully respond well to those. TIA.

Glynis- Do you have a recipe for your ice cream? I love the names. Have fun at Build A Bear.

I'll post it later. I ended up not making it yesterday, for reasons I'll explain later.

hey guess what?!
I just got a phone call for another interview!
Its anotherl ocal district..this is for a 1/2 day kindergarten--I LOVE kindergarten!

Jen, it sounds like things are looking up for you! I've got my fingers crossed for you with all the interviews! And with the ENT, as well!

Well, we're leaving for the ultrasound in about 45 minutes. I wanted to pop in to update you all on what is going on with me.

I ran to walmart yesterday to pick up a few things, and while I was in the checkout line, I started to get really hot. I wasn't too worried, as I knew I was not dehydrated. However, as I finished up, I felt all the blood rush from my head. Next thing I knew I was on the floor, surrounded by 15 walmart employees, who were holding me down, telling me I had passed out, and not to move. The emergency response team came, and I had to lie there for 10 minutes until they decided I didn't have any broken bones, no split skull and no likely concussion. They helped me up and to the office where I sat for another 15 minutes drinking water and reassuring them that I wasn't going to sue.

Finally, they escorted me to the car, and I headed home. I stopped at the doctor's office on my way home, and they checked me out as well. The baby was fine, and they concurred that I didn't have a concussion. The doctor thinks that my blood pressure is a bit low, and dips if I don't eat enough or drink enough. So, I now have to stock my purse with granola bars, etc.

I got home, and crawled into bed. I think I went into shock at that point. I called Alan (who was out of town on a story), crying hysterically. He was really concerned, and after talking to me for a while, called his boss. Luckily, his company is really family oriented, and they agreed to send a replacement, so Alan could come home. Meanwhile, Katie took great care of me. She brought me ice for the knot on the back of my head (as large as my palm), got me water and food and checked on me every hour so I could check my eyes. Bless her heart! She was a real trooper. She also took care of all the other kids.

Alan arrived home at 5:00 last night, and hasn't let me out of his sight since then. I expected problems being 41 and pregnant, but I wasn't expecting anything like this! However, I'm doing ok. I'm bruised (my rear end is the worst), and sore, but I'm in one piece.

I'll update you all on the ultrasound when I get home.

Glynis-

I am so sorry but I am glad you are doing okay other than a bruised bottom. I can't wait to hear about the ultrasound.

 

[Tammi67]

Deb - I have NOT been able to get into your photopass pictures. Could you please post your pix from the SSR photo session?

I know you are busy getting ready to go away, so it can wait until you get back.

 

[Tammi67]

Glynis - I'm so sorry to hear this. Thanks goodness it wasn't any worse than a few bumps and bruises. Follow the drs. orders and snack all day long. Carry water with you everywhere and sip on it constantly. Lots of luck for the ultrasound today.

well I think Virginia has had a fever all day. All she did at moms today was sleep pretty much. Mom told me when I picked her up that her head felt hot. Well we get home and she has a temp of 102.2 rectal called the after hrs for the dr and the nurse told Jeff to give her tylenol and if its not gone in 72hr to call back.

Hope she's feeling better soon!

Found out after Riley's practice last night that their 1st game is at 9:30am on Saturday, so no sleeping in tomorrow either! We will leave around 7, coach wants the players there an hour before game start for warm up. They will play again at 3:30pm & 5pm & he said there might be a 4th game in there. Sunday they are guaranteed to play one game. Won't know the time of that one till we see how they place from Saturdays games. They keep playing Sunday till they lose or hopefully win the tournament!

Good luck to Riley & his team. Hope the drive isn't too bad!

I had trouble with the link I was trying to post, too. My bag is that style but it is a light seafoam green.

But you paid a whole lot less for yours!

We are leaving for WDW in ONE WEEK!!​

hey guess what?!
I just got a phone call for another interview!
Its anotherl ocal district..this is for a 1/2 day kindergarten--I LOVE kindergarten!
So i will be going in on monday

That is wonderful! Good luck this morning and next week!

I talked to my sister this morning and she will have to stay in the hospital until the infection is cleared up. She did say that the pain is getting less and less so that's a sign for the better.

Thanks again for all the pixie dust.

Nice to hear she's improving!

When you all show up naked for dinner don't say I didn't warn you!

That won't be happening but we may show up for breakfast a few days later in the same clothes.

Better? I still need to clean it up though.

AWESOME! I'm sure she will flip! I wouldn't spend too much (any) time cleaning it up as the image won't be that clear anyways.

I'll post it later.

Hope things go well today and Peanut is cooperative in revealing if he or she is a or a

Warning-hugely long and personal post coming up. You can pass over it but I have to get it out.

Last night after I got off of work my volunteer (and friend) said that if I wanted to she could take me to her friend to see if she could help with some pain I’ve been experiencing since Tuesday in my neck. For some reason, I said fine if she can help I’ll do it. God lead me there, I believe.

Lynne is a massage therapist and one look at me said she’d fit me in right then and there. (Phyllis has never taken anybody over there without calling first…another God thing). While working on my neck, Lynne really was like a therapist and I spent quite a bit of the time crying. She said I need to open up and get a blanket of caring around me and I need to start leaning on other strong people because I can’t do it on my own anymore. So I come to my friends asking for that strength.

Usually when there is stress in our life it gives us a break….you know work is stressful, home is okay. I don’t get that break and I haven’t had that break in a long time.

You all know most of my troubles at work so bear with me as you get a glimpse into what it’s been like at home.

My husband has ADD, and uses that as an excuse for everything. Nothing is ever his fault, ever…it is always somebody else’s fault, usually mine. About a month ago he spouted off some heartbreaking things….including that he has never trusted me from the last time we separated because I mentioned divorce. That was 10+ years ago. When we last had trouble I said he had one job and that was to find a couples counselor. That Sunday I told him I wouldn’t go to a couples counselor until he had gotten personal help. I also wrote him a letter….he thought it was a letter of my forgiving him….it wasn’t. As of Wednesday night he hadn’t gone to a counselor, doesn’t have an appointment and I don’t think has any intention of going.

In the letter I told him I didn’t like who I saw in the mirror and more importantly I didn’t like what my girls saw when they look at me. I have lost who I am somewhere in the shuffle of covering his butt when he screws up, in one way or another. I am done…it has never been my job to change him….but I have changed and I want to go back to the way I was before. I grew up…I don’t think he has.

So right now I am trying to figure out where my life is headed, where my marriage is headed, if it’s even salvageable. You all have been my beacon of light when I’ve needed you and my normalcy in this storm. Thank you.

A few of you know more and as I feel up to it, I will probably share more, so please be patient with me.

I think it's adorable!

Glynis, glad to hear everything is ok. Please take care of yourself! Drink PLENTY of fluids.... even if you aren't dehydrated, it will help with BP! I can't wait to hear about the ultrasound!

You will be in my prayers, Theresa.

Theresa - I sent you a PM. I'm so sorry.

 

[KristineN]

Hang in there Theresa.....Believe me, I know it is not easy.

At some point, you WILL know what's right for you & the girls...and sometimes the answers are not what we expect....and the roads traveled to get to that answer are not very easy....but you will rise up....and you are a much stronger person than you probably even can imagine.

 

[KristineN]

Glynis...thinking of you!

 

[KristineN]

Speaking of sad....

Did you hear that Randy Pausch died? (He's the gentlemen who did that "Last Lecture" I had mentioned months ago...he died this morning from complications from the pancreatic cancer....

for whatever reason...it has stirred up emotions from when my dad died of cancer....

 

[Tammi67]

Very well said, Kristine.

I remember your post about him. I went and listened to his lecture. Very sad.

We can't pass over this Theresa - this is why we are here! For support and love and growth and all those road blocks that life throws us. (and well spoken Kristine!)
