Busy, Busy!

Sorry about the infrequent posts. I told myself I would do better but I have been so busy! I worked last Saturday, 12 hours! It wasn't crazy busy but that's a long time to be away from my kids and husband! He had to put them to bed by himself...bless his heart!!! =)

I have had IV infusions the past 3 days. I have been given 3 doses of Magnesium Sulfate to help with my migraines/frequent headaches. So far, I don't have headaches when I wake up. Let me just back up and say that when he told me I would have Mag, I about flipped out. After I had Rachel, my blood pressure was so high, I had to be put on mag for 48 hours. It made me feel so incredibly crappy and I knew I didn't want that again. The good news: it was a MUCH lower dose and when I had it before, the IV was wide open and this was a lot slower. It didn't make me feel bad at all...could barely tell it was going. Bad news: I now look like an IV drug user...well, I guess technically I was, but...you know what I mean!!! =) I have 3 pokes. They originally put in an IV to last all three days...IMPOSSIBLE with two small children at home. I could not bend my elbow...not cool when you are nursing! =) So, that's done. Let's see if it helps in the long run.

Tomorrow I start a Bible study at church. It is the Beth Moore Esther study...CANNOT WAIT! I am so ready for something like this. Love Beth Moore but she is tough!!! =)

I hope to take pictures of the girls at some point....haven't done that in awhile. I have still been busy planning this STUPID reunion!!! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER again!!!! If I have to plan it, we will not have any more. 10 years is the only reunion we will have. My class is full of losers who want to complain about no one doing a reunion and then no one sends money when it is planned. It has just about been the most frustrating thing ever! Enough about that...I am getting frustrated all over again!

Until next time....

Thanks for the comment!! We don't plan to keep the gender a secret just plan to do something fun to tell our family and freinds. We thought keeping the date of our appointment would keep everyone on their toes....hope you are feeling well!

Oh my! We do have a lot in common...social work, terrible headaches and going to school with a bunch of losers....me too! Let me know how the magnesium sulfate works. I've had the C2 block shots and that's about the only thing that has really helped mine.

I love Beth Moore but there is a lot of work to do. I've only done one but have heard a lot of people talk about the Esther study.

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
