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.

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!

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!
