My god my life has been absolutely nuts this month, I have barely had time to sleep let alone post so my apologies. There are many things to update so in order to keep myself from rambling on and on I will use the ever wonderful bullets
- Dad out of hospital after 17 day stay. He is better but not good. Blood sugar out of whack, bathroom problems and hellacious nosebleeds. He won't come stay with us so I have to go by what he tells me - very frustrating and worrisome.
- Smiley has been covered in hives for 2 weeks. Food allergies have hit our house - peanut, milk, eggs, soybeans etc. Trying to make changes and she is resistant - that baby loves loves her milk and rice milk sucks.
- Our dogs are going to be leaving us soon - as soon as the no kill shelter in our area has room for them. We cannot keep them any longer. Smiley is allergic to them and getting her healthy is priority. We are not home enough to give them proper love and attention. The big girls are sad so is Mr Fly but this is the best for them in the long run.
- Added a new med for Chatty and the ramp up period has been rather stressful. We all walk on egg shells waiting for any sort of backlash that might come from accidentally making the air blow to hard. Dr says give it a full week on the full dosage before making any changes. Hoping she and/or I/Mr Fly make it that long.
- Bug is a full blown bra wearing, leg shaving middle schooler. Too many changes in a short time span are not good for mothers grappling with the fact that her first born is aging rather quickly but not as quickly as her mother who is sure the pre-teen/teen years are going to kill her or make her an alcoholic.
- No job yet, severance runs out in 2 weeks. Mr F is about ready to have a heart attack. I know it will work out in the end. Will have interview next week and hopefully job soon after. Also sending my resume to some other companies.
- Going to Denver on Friday for a friend's wedding. Am leaving the small ones and my other half at home and will try to drink my weight in red bull/vodka and whatever else. I need this break badly, the timing cannot be better. Also, meeting one of my best friends there so hey, free therapy.
- We call Smiley - T Dawg (sisters dubbed her that) and last night I was trying to get her attention and called her T Bag - much laughter followed as the girls thought I was calling her a drink and Mr F's mind immediately went to the gutter. Still giggling this morning.
- The Great Mouse Hunt of 2008 is happening in our house as I type, all bets are off at this point as to who will prevail.
That is all I have for today. Off to go shopping for a few last minute things and hoping that next week will bring a healthier Dad, dead mice, relaxed Mom, hive free baby, hair free tween and happy Chatty and Mr F still standing from being on his own with the 3 kids whilst Mommy is away
Bra and shaving all at once? she couldn't have timed that a bit better for you?
