Sheesh!

Well Ally has a pretty bad ear infection, that would be why she was having so many fevers. Matt is still having issues with diarrhea and my foot is still in a walking cast. Last Thursday I went to the podiatrist and she said it was one of two things; Achilles tendinitis, severe, or a clot. So I went to the hospital and had an ultra sound to rule out the clot, no clot thank goodness. So I get to wear the boot for another month. And now I have a bad head cold or, John thinks, the flu, again. Great, just what I need.
John and the kids are healthy though and that is what is important. Ally is doing so well with her homework, her reading is really progressing and her math is really going well too. I am so proud of her.

Pain, Pain, go away...

So yesterday was Monday, and what a Monday it was. I posted earlier that I was up with Ally and a sickie stomach, boy was that a widow to the day! I went to work, no biggie, and had lunch, no biggie and nothing big, but at 3 I started getting a MASSIVE stomach ache. It got so bad that I thought that I was having another gal bladder attack, funny thing though mine is gone, and couldn't breath. Krista called John and he called my mom to see if she could come and get me. We took a little trip to the ER and after waiting an hour saw a nurse and then went back to the waiting game. While we were walking out I got sick again and went to the bathroom to throw up ten minutes later I was fine. No pain, no hard of breathing, nothing but a sore gut and back and very tired.
I don't know what the pain was but I don't want it to come back. Guess I am going to the bland diet again.
Now on to funner stuff! We have to collect stool samples from Matt's diarrhea! What fun!! Matt has had this crud for almost a week and it is getting worse. So John took Matt to the doc. and they said it could be a parasite. Lovely. I hope not, but we have to figure out what is going on. Matt is miserable and he is loosing a lot of weight. He used to have a little pot-belly, that is going away and the diapers are starting to get a little too big. So we have his little tushi in saran wrap. Great!!

Fevers, fevers, and a walking cast. What fun!

A week ago I was placed in a walking cast because they thought I may have ripped my Achilles tendon or did something to my nerves. Thursday when I was in class I was getting ready to take a test and all of a sudden the worst pain shot up my leg and was so bad that I was actually shaking. Long day, story, short, the doctor wouldn't see me and set up an appointment for the next day, great so I am in agonizing pain and she says see you later! So I go to the doctors and they take x-rays all the way to my thigh to make sure I haven't broken something odd, no go its something else.
Saturday I get up, go to work, and do my thing. I got that same pain around the same time of day and ended up having to go home because the pain was coming through even with the meds. they gave me. So now twice John has had to come into town to get me because the pain is so bad I can't drive. I spent the entire day with my foot up and the pain slowly going away. That night, just as I was getting ready to go to bed Ally comes out and says she doesn't feel well, she had a 102.5 temp. and looked red hot. At 2 AM her temp finally broke and she soaked the couch. She finally got settled again and Matt woke up with a terrible diaper. So Happy Valentines Day to me! Got two sick kids and a busted foot! Who could want more!
So now it is 12:24 AM on Monday morning, Ally is up with a nauseated stomach and another fever. GREAT!!!
Hope everyone's else was great! Happy Valentines Day everyone! Lu

Weekend starting out with a BANG!

Ally's school week is Monday ~ Thursday, so her weekend starts on Thursday afternoons. I was in class at about four when I get this text message from our babysitter "do you have Ally?" I jumped up in the middle of my lecture and ran out the door to call her and find out what was going on. Ally and another little boy hadn't gotten off the bus and we didn't know where she was. The baby sitter called the bus barn and I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door and started immediately calling everyone on the list that is okay to pick her up. No one had her so I then called my friend Krista to ask her if her husband had seen Ally when he picked his son up (they are in the same class), he said that he heard their teacher tell his daughter that Ally had gotten on the bus.
So John is at the school, I am checking at home to see if she walked home and mom is on her way in to grab Matt. Twenty minutes has passed by and I get a call from the babysitter saying that the bus driver had her and was turning around. This is when I found out that there was another little boy with her. They were busy playing on the floor of the bus in the back where they were not supposed to be and the driver didn't see them or hear them.
So everyone was called to let them know she was ok and that we had her.
Friday Ally was instructed to pay attention and went on a field trip to OMSI, she loved it! She got to make electricity and climb into a giant ear!
Wow, can't wait till the weekend is over!
'til later,

Monday, Monday...lalala

So what a weekend and oh what a Monday. So glad that this day is over.
This weekend we had an over the top P'OOOD customer and what really ticks me off is that once again I caught the crap that someone has created. I don't have a problem helping people or solving an issue but when the same problem keeps happening what the heck is going on!

So then I get my cell phone bill the top has just came off my lid! $383.00! for one month!!! What tha' ! Turns out my lovely little "helper" that "set me up" didn't do what I had asked and then also didn't tell me that my phone required a $9.99 a month data plan charge. I told them that had I known that I would not have changed!! So tomorrow I am going in to return $239.00 worth of cell phone, ear piece, charger and case. Goodness I love 30 day return policies, especially when I am t'd off!

On to bigger and better.

I love my family. Out of the blue today my husband called and told me that he loved me, that was it, just he loved me. It was a really nice surprise with the day that I was having.
