So i thought I would check in and leave a lil something. I registered today for fall at the university! I am not too thrilled about the classes I have to take, but I will suffer thru them because it gets me where I want to be. I had to take another science class, Economics, Literature, art, and political science. All classes I have been dreading. So, now I get to take them all in one semester!
The kids are doing great...although they are driving me crazy. You know..half thru summer break, they are bored and restless and well, our summer has been hectic. It started on Memorial day with me landing in ER with kidney stone (9mm). The entire month of June was shot with me being miserable with a stent in my kidney. Constant urge to pee, pressure, pain, and discomfort. Pain meds were my constant companion, meaning I was almost always groggy. We did manage a camping trip that was fun. I was even able to enjoy it despite the stent. Thank God for portapotties that can be placed strategically among trees and hidden behind sheets and towels so I could use it when the sudden urge hit. I would not have made it thru the trip without one! I finally got the stent out on July 2nd. The same day my mother in law fell and broke her elbow. But she had no insurance and didn't think it was broken, so she lived on motrin and ice for a week before finally going in. I had to take her to the insurance place one day, then the next to a free clinic who sent her for xray and to the ER. That was a 12 hour day, the same day as my sister's going away party. Needless to say, I got to her party late. Since then, I have been running her all over, trying to balance that with helping sis prepare for moving, planning a baby shower (that was held the 17th) and almost forgetting that dad's 50th bday was on the 19th and something had to be planned for that! I became quite irritable about the whole thing. I just want my life to be MINE. For a moment. I have had no Me time since camping. It has been go go go ever since. I think it will finally slow down. And hopefully we can do some things with the kids so they aren't so bored and whiney.
Jeremy has been working with a family friend setting up pool tables and playscapes. It has been a huge help in several ways. It gets him out of the house, helps the depression of not working, and gives us some extra money. It's not a full time gig, just on call sort of thing. If he could continue doing that at even a semi-regular basis, it would be great.
Right now, both kids are sick. Mak more so. She has been running a fever and feeling lethargic. THe doc isn't in tomorrow but if she isn't better come thursday, i will take her in. It may be darn tonsilitis again.
My sister and her hubby are in GA right now for a few days to find a house. Talk about procrastination. They got there on Sunday and that night Carrie ended up in ER with another of her migraines. She gets them so bad when pregnant. She ended up in ER again last night or this morning bc of it but is now feeling better and they were going out to look for houses today. She said they didn't have much luck today and were going to go to Alabama tomorrow to look, hoping to have better luck. Because the shop he will be working in is right on the border, they can live either place. AL is cheaper taxes, more house for less $ and probably the best option. If you don't mind a daily time change as you cross the river! LOL.
I think that about sums up my life for the past couple of months. I am hoping for a slow down, so i can actually enjoy some of this summer before back to school! Hope everyone is having a great summer!
