UPdates

Hello to anyone wondering where I have been.....
Let me start by stating that I have been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Hip hip hooray. Damn ticks! I've been feeling miserable for the past week and suspected I had lyme because I knew the symptoms (too many people I know have had it or still have it) I tried to hold out until my insurance begins but if not for my kids, I would have thrown myself in front of a bus. I kid you not! I've been very irrational lately. I think its been a pain induced stupor. I left work early on Sunday. I had to take Monday of (with a dr.'s note). I have to go into work tonight. I have more than enough Vicadin for the pain. However, as with anything that goes wrong with me....it can always get worse. The antibiotics that I was prescribed made me projectile vomit. Both times that I took it. So, as of yet, I have not begun my meds, officially. The DR. called this morning and he told me STOP, he will fax over a new presciption. It appears I'm one of a few people who don't take kindly to that particular med. See?, it can always get worst.

Just to prove my point....if the above doesn't do it for you....wait until my emergency room visit bills come in. Yep.

As for the the cookout, I didn't hear about it until this past Saturday, I didn't think I was invited. No big deal, I had to work that evening.....and I was not very pleasant, since I'm still feeling sick. I hope to see you at the graduation party Mary! Hopefully I'll be feeling better by then. As a matter of fact. 7/7....I better be feeling better!

On a brighter note, I got a new car. Well, not exactly new. 2004 GM w/ 17,000 miles. That's as new as I'll ever get. I'm so broke right now. I'm looking for a job with more hours and better pay. I'm still waiting to see what my score was on my police exam......I no it's a shot in hell. I just hope I get a respectable score. Otherwise I'm not sharing it with anyone....Stupidity is embarrasing to me.

I've been so distracted with my health issues that I never dropped off anything for my dad on Father's day. I know, I'm terrible. I also never got anything for my husband on his birthday, which was Sunday. Terrible, again, I know. In my defense, I couldn't move. I was physically exhausted and couldn't drive unless absolutely necessary because of my intense headaches that have plagued me for days on end. I will make it up to them all today. Even though I still am feeling sick....it's not nearly so bad. I have some house chores to catch up on and some office work....then I'm all set to head out in this swealtering heat. I hope everyone is keeping cool and staying safe.....and remember those body checks for those pesky microscopic ticks!
Oh, before I go, I don't want to forget to thank M****l for her kindness. (She helped me with my precriptions....since I have no insurance) She is full of goodness! Remember that M**t ;)

How can I stop time?

I really need to know. I've been saying that I'll post pictures but I just don't have time. Really. It's not like I have some time but I'm too tired or I have a few minutes but I choose to read a book....Wait a minute....Read? A book? OK, I did just say that. Wishful thinking I suppose. However, I honestly have no time right now. I'm always exhausted. I keep dozing off in front of the screen. I just brewed myself some coffee. I don't normally drink that poison but it's beginning to work on me. I just managed to email my cousin Sonia in CA...still waiting for the visit to the US. *hint* *hint* I'm going to have to call N & E to arrange something for this fall??

Anway, I still owe Heidi an email. I want to check out the site to see if there are any updated photos of the new baby.

I'm a liitle depressed lately and I'm afraid I may be picking up a bad habit to self-medicate myself. Shoes. That's all I'm gonna say, ladies. I (again) will post photos of the newest members of my closet. I think we'll be happy. Until I need my next fix.

Okay, I've had some really nice customers and even some really funny conversations with customers at my new JOB...this is an announcement for all the rude people who called customer service the past few days: Please stop yelling at me. It won't make me type any faster. Really, play nice. Or, I may have to hit the FU button...and we don't want that to happen.

On another note, Today is also the last day of school for the kids. Yahoo! Nothing scheduled for the kids this summer! Can you sense my relief? I almost signed them up for some activities...(I love punishment). But I listened to better judgement....my sanity is saved, for now.

This post is a rambling of incoherent thoughts...no time to edit....so please excuse me....especially if I've mispelled every other word.

See you soon Lindyloo....if I can find the time.... :(

Chaperone

On Tuesday, I chaperoned a middle school field trip in Plymouth. It was a whale watch. My first time so I was fascinated. There were sooo many whales, more than they typicallly see, according to the tour guide. It was pretty cool. I have a bunch of pictures. Hopefully I can post some soon. I did however freeze my ass off. I honestly couldn't feel it. Really, it was that cold. J LOVED it! He thought it was really cool to see them feeding and flapping their tails.

On another note, I began taking calls on my own on Tuesday. (With help from advisors walking around.) Let me just say, I am clueless! Six weeks of training?? What? Where? I feel like I've never been trained on any of it. Not much information from those 6 weeks have actually been absorbed by my rock of a brain.


Speaking of rocks....marriage life is still rocky.

I also just signed up for medical insurance....first time we'll have any in years. Yay! However, it costs about half my paycheck. No exageration! (that doesn't look to be spelled right, but I'm too lazy to edit), so moving on.....

Softball and T-ball are both over now. No more bothering my mommy. And believe me when I say "bothering". As she is keen to remind me of. Personally I would tell her where to go, but its for the kids sake that I ask for help. Always for the kids. Now she says she won't be doing any more of it....so I better not sign them up for anything else next year because as she pointed out..."It was your choice to move so far away from me" Wonderful. I won't be signing them up for anything; which is going to devastate them when they hear, but unless I can get a change in hours, or their dad steps up and makes that a priority (fat chance), it won't be happening. I'm just taking things one day at a time. We'll see how it all goes. Can't wait for the trip to water country and squidge's arrival next week. The house is a buzz about the upcoming arrivals. I still can't believe it's almost been one year! Where has the time gone?

Sunday mornings....

Okay, just a quick note....

I was awakened early this morning by little T, which is from this moment on going to represent little

Terror

instead of his first initial. It seems he had clogged the upstairs toilet. Yay! What a way to wake up! I hope this isn't a sign of things to come this week.


I...will...think...positive...thoughts

Midnight....and I should be asleep

I'm not, so I decided to think of some interesting facts about myself. So here is me in all my weirdness!

1. My hair was once long enough to touch my knees (I just shuttered at the memory)

2. I don't get seasick, however, I can't swing on a swing...I usually get sick when attempting to swing at the playground. (Seriously. Don't laugh. It's upsetting, since I used to love it as a little child. Now that I'm thinking of it. I've been suffering of this since grade school. Weird.)

3. On a similar note, I occasionally get a weird vertigo-like feeling when sitting in the pasenger seat of a vehicle. (I know you're thinking straight jacket)

4. I'm extremely indecisive. Not sure what else to say about this.

5. I often try to fit in "one more thing"...and of course, make myself late. (Now everyone knows why I'm always late)

6. I often snort when I laugh. (This often makes me laugh harder which causes me to tinkle...heehee...see Lindyloo

7. I am a pessimist by nature, but often disguise it by saying optimistic things. (Don't let me fool you)

8. I'm a wonderful daydreamer.
I sometimes find myself staring blankly at my monitor, or worse yet,
I wonder how on earth I drove & arrived @ my destination in one piece (this happens more often than I'd like to admit)


God, I'm a weirdo! I could go on...and on...and on...and on...Not very interesting, but definately odd.

I'm Ba-aaak!

Oh my goodness, I just got an update on squidgyboo....then I decided to wander over to my little piece of the blogging world to see if anyone left any comments....perhaps noticed my absence. Nope. However, Princess Di did mention my lack of updates on Sunday.
First of all, Squidge must have grown about an inch in the past two weeks....or at least her hair has.
Next, Groa had a baby boy!! I can't wait to check out the blog, Heidi...Thanks.
I'll even get to brush up on my Icelandic. Fartha Haim! (I know that is spelled incorrectly, but you get it, I'm sure)
I'm sooo excited to hear from everyone, really. I'm excited....how pathetic I am. In my defense, not much excitement comes my way these days. Unless little T counts.
oh, and camikaos ....I too thought T had a unique, if not twisted mind.... Comforting to know I'm not the only one raising a devilish manipulative imaginative child.

On a personal note, I did have my first mental breakdown on Friday. I was soooo stressed out, too much pressure, hungry, sleep deprived....who knows why...but I broke down on the phone with Verizon tech support. Damn bastards made my life here at work misery last week!

Anyhoo, I've recoved pretty well, all things considered. I have only one more week of classroom training before I get thrown on the phones next week. No!!!!! I'm NOT ready. I did take calls last night with an agent doing the typing.....it went well....as long as I repeated word-for-word what she was whispering to me!
I don't know if I'll be able to handle this job. My brain has never needed to function at such high efficiency. (3 kids....stay-at-home mom for over 10 years) I believe I may have lost a portion of my brain....and I can't get it back!


Oh and I am still going to post some interesting facts about me soon. So far, I've only come up with two. Sad. I know. Maybe, weird counts? Cause I got loads of those! Thanks, I think...to Lindyloo and Jennifer
