WTF???

Last week I was sick & missed 3 days of work. Not "Oh I have a stuffy nose & headache" sick, Body aches, fever, I can't swallow, I can't get out of bed, & I'm coughing crap up sick. It was awful. I am still a little stuffy & coughing. Well guess what? Friday night I got sick again. I was freezing, had stomach cramps, my skin on my back hurt & I had to lay on a heating pad to keep warm. Sat. the chills were gone but I was very sore still had the cramps & was wishing that I could either puke or crap so that I would feel better. Neither of those happened. Sun I felt better but I was very sore. I wanted to get out of the house so we went to Austin to run some errands & have lunch. I was only able to eat part of my lunch & I got so weak we couldn't finish our errands. O & the stomach cramps came back! WTF????
I feel like I'm going through chemo again.

Just feeling ick......

I'm just feeling pissy & stressed out lately. I think most of it is b/c S has been in "a mood" lately. It always seems to make me pissy when he gets this way. I love him to death but he's just a terd sometimes. I know there are times when the same can be said @ me.

Shelby on Nitrous @ the Dentist



Busy...Busy...Busy...

It's been a busy few days so I have a few new posts. Sunday I got my house cleaned!!!! There are still a lot of boxes that I need to go through but my bathroom is organized & the rest of the house is clean.

I decided to stay @ my current job w/Faith for several reasons. 1) money- I took the kids to the dentist today & spent $350 & N still needs @ $1000 more worth of work done. He may have to have 2 teeth pulled to make room for his adult teeth. He also has 4 cavities. 2) What if I start a new job & hate it? 3)I'm off on fri. & if we want to go out of town we can leave whenever instead of waiting until after work. 4) I feel that I would be letting Faith & her family down.

Sh had 3 cavities filled today & d/t her fear of needles we decided it would be best for her to have conscious sedation which means Valium & nitrous oxide. She was higher than a kite. It was too funny. She kept laughing & laughing. She also kept asking where her tongue, her teeth, & her lips were. Then I kinda felt bad for her b/c she would start crying & she didn't know why. So she would laugh then cry then laugh then cry. I told her it was like she was on a roller coaster. To which she replied, "No mom, roller coaster make me happy whole time". I cracked up because she sounded Chinese when she said it. I have video on my cell & if I can figure out how to post it I will.

Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting.......

I've been wanting to take the kids to a Japanese steakhouse for awhile. So this weekend after N's soccer tournament we decided to go to Sushi Japon in Austin. It was partially to celebrate S & mine's 15th anniversary too. For an appetizer we had a spider roll which is sushi w/fried softshell crab. Yes, even the kids liked it. For dinner we had soup, salad w/ginger dressing, a few shrimp, fried rice, hibachi steak & hibachi chicken. S & I shared a little peach saki & the kids split a Japanese fried ice cream. It was all DELISH! We had a lot of fun & so did the kids. Notice our chef is South American & not Japanese. :)

Soccer Superstars!

Sat. N was in his 1st soccer tournament. It was a long day but it was pretty fun. We were there from 9am to 5pm. They played 6 games & N's team won 1st place Bastrop team & 3rd place overall. Now we have to go to Austin next Sat for another tournament. Yay! (sarcastic)

Stressed Out!

This blog is just basically me venting. My house is driving me nuts! It's not that it's dirty, there are just a lot of things that still need to be organized. We also still have boxes that need to be gone through in the garage, so that we can have a garage sale. I've just needed a few days free so that I can get things done but i work all week & every weekend we have had something going on. I thought this weekend I would finally get the chance to do some of it & BAM! N's team has a soccer tournament all day Sat. I know that I can do some of it on Sun but I was planning on getting a lot done this weekend & now I only have part of one day to do it. UGH!
2nd vent: Stressed out @ my job. I was offered another job today. It is days Mon-Fri. Which would be really great, but I would get no overtime. We don't rely on it to pay the bills, but it sure has been nice having the extra $. The other problem is Faith. I'm so attached to her. I love her so much & hate to lose her. I would also feel bad for her family. What if they can't find someone else to work nights? That would be very hard on them. I would feel bad for leaving them. On the other hand I'm sick of working nights. It would be great to have a normal schedule. I don't know what to do. Again UGH!
