Wow what craziness!

So it seems like I'm always at the Drs ofice lately for one of us. It's crazy. Anyways, I think, don't hold me to it, but I think we're all finally feeling better. So visits for being sick are over THANK GOD!!!!

However, now I will be driving over an hour this week to take Loralei to see a child psychiatrist. I am NOT complaining by any means whatsoever. I'm actually looking forward to this, finally to get some help with my daughter, to find out what's truly going on within that mind of hers. I feel like it's a day of I don't know what but I can just see me have this big sigh of relief after talking to the Dr and finding out what's going on. I can't do what we've been doing without help and support anymore. So this is a huge step and something I can't wait to have done.

I finally found a Dr for me, now I can stop being yelled at by friends and loved ones about going to a Dr, b/c now I have no excuse. I've met her once but I loved how she was and felt so comfortable, and a plus is she's a DO, which is what I wanted. So I am going to have a physical, however, I realized the other day that I have my appointment and Loralei's Pulmonary Specialist appointment set for the same day and oh yeah only 15 mins apart so I have to call tomorrow to reschedule. No biggie. Oh and at her appointment, they will be using her as a pin cushion to do an allergy test. Hopefully she's not as bad as her mama.

I'm doing good overall so I can't complain, tired but that's it.

Oh I have to share something with you that I found hilarious and if you know me, which if you're reading this you most likely do, but the other night I was trying to get Loralei to tell my dad where she was going this coming week (the shrink). Here's how the Convo went.

Me: Tell Grampa where you're going next week.
L: Ummmm I don't know! (as she's trying to figure out what she wants from the snack bar at the movies, yeah not a good place to get her to think lol)
Me: The Dr remember?!
L: Grampa I'm going to the Dr. Mommy what am I going to the Dr for again?
Me: to see what's going on inside that brain of yours!
L: (innocent, no sarcasm) I don't have a mind!

Wow, yeah she's definitely my child, already admitting to her not having a mind, she's lost it early poor thing. I need to start writing down things she says, b/c she has had some whoppers before.

Oh and since all of my friends are doing it and I haven't in a long while I have decided that I'm going to make Loralei another quilt. I'm going to let her pick out the fabric and maybe let her help me, teach her to sew. I will keep that updated, I'm quite excited b/c I haven't sewn anything in wow, almost 6 months, it's a pain b/c I have to take my sewing machine out and put it up and take it out and it's a pain in the butt to do. So I will make a spot that I can leave it out and not have to do the back and forth thing, so pictures will come as I start out, and I think I'm going to photojournal the whole process even of her picking out the material and whatnot. That would be kind of fun for her, to see the process that she was involved in.

Ok so I think I'm done, that's a lot of catching up in one post and I'm sure overwhelming, I won't wait so long to update from now on b/c I know I've forgotten some stuff and well that sucks but oh well. Life goes on. Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day and now we get to look forward to St Patty's Day, Yummy, bring on the cornedbeef and cabbage and potatoes.

Craziness here!

Ok so I'm still sick, turns out I have bronchitis, YAY me (claps hands and this is all done in London Tipton style lol). So I'm all hopped up on drugs YAY me again lol The best is when I have withdrawls everyday, about 14 hours after taking my cough medicine. Yeah my body has decided it likes to do the extremes and so when my body doesn't have the lovely wonderful hydrocodone in it, it wants to start shaking and making me feel just wonderfully sick. The coughing is still here but it's getting better. I finally found a good Dr, so those that yell at me about going to the Dr can now stop, I will be going to the Dr like a good little girl when something is wrong. Loralei is still sick, the blood tests for Pertussis came back negative. So we'll see what happnes after her meds are all done which should be today, yeah today is the 10th day of antibiotics for her. She'll be happy about that. So life has been crazy with just the two of us being sick. So you would think that was enough right? WRONG!!!

Kenny is going in in exactly 5.5 hours from now to have minor surgery, I'll spare you the details but yeah so he'll be recouping from that for the next few days and I should really be in bed b/c we have to leave here at 6am which means we have to be up at 5:30am. I'm going to be dead dead dead. Oh well, life will go on, not like I haven't survived on less sleep. So anyways, that's it for now, I have more stuff but I'm going to attempt to go to sleep and get at least a couple hours. I will update you on his surgery later on when we get home. Oh and I have some news about a friends son, my Godson and she needs all the prayers and thoughts she can get. That will come later on though.

Groundhog Day

Tomorrow is my anniversary like I already posted but it's also Groundhog day, it's the day we find out if we have more winter or not. So I'm posting a poll to see who thinks that they Groundhog will see his shadow or not, so go and vote and let me know what you think!!!! Let's see who the winners are, so comment on my blog what you chose. Have you ever been right before?

7 years!

7 years ago, I stood before a man, a man I loved, a man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. We stood before our family and friends, a pastor and God. We vowed to each other to love one another, through sickness and health, good times and bad, and to be there for each other no matter what. 7 years ago, it seems like a long time, yet it seems like yesterday. I still love that man, I love him even more, I could never put into words the love that I have for him. It's too strong, its too much (if there is such a thing), it's just right. It hurts to love him, it feels like my heart is going to jump out of my chest b/c there isn't enough room to hold the love I feel for him. 7 years later of marriage and I still get butterflies when I think about him. I get giddy like a teenage girl with her first crush. When he holds me everything feels right, when he says I love you, I melt and have a smile a mile wide.

Through everything that has happened in the 7 years we've been married, we are strong and still going. He is the love of my life, my best friend, my lover, my everything. Our relationship is like no other that I have seen nor been in. I would be lost without him and couldn't imagine not growing old with him. I can't wait to see what another 7 years brings, what God has in store for us. I look forward to growing old and senile with him. I'm thankful to God and blessed for him being in my life. So 7 years ago tomorrow, will be the anniversary of the day that I took the man that I love as my husband, my soul mate, my lover, as the man that God intended him to be for me. I cherish the time we have had and will have. It will never be enough but I'm thankful for what I get. Happy Anniversary baby, I love you!
