I just popped on. I haven't been on this week. It's been a stressful week. Been fighting with Steve all week. Had a cruddy, crappy B'Day last weekend. Still stressing over putting Andrew in K or PS again. Failed my glucose test and had to go take the 3 hour. I was already throwing up before I left house. "Morning" sickness is stupid!!! Was at the lab 4.5 hours. Took them over an hour to just take my fasting blood draw. Had 3 Dr appts. The high risk OB was pissed 'cause my regular OB didn't do the fFN like she requested, so had that done Thurs. Haven't gone into labor, so guess it's ok. LOL Had to go to Lowes to get replacement screens for the front of the house and then had to make them with Steve yesterday. He made the first one the same size as the old ones. I told him the reason that they fell out all the time was because they were too small. He didn't listen. So, it's too small and still lets the bugs in. If I'm ALWAYS RIGHT, why does no one listen to me???
I think I'm depressed. I need to go back on my Lexapro. Baby out, drugs in.
Steve's right about one thing, I am Debbie Downer.
(((((HUGS)))))) Victoria! You have definitely had a rough week. You are almost there though-the baby will be here before you know it. I hope this week is easier on you...
Not much excitement going on here. I was stressing all week because I had two parties scheduled for the same time today, and I couldn't decide on which one I would attend.
Then Kate got sick and I am not going to either-it is like God was telling me I shouldn't stress over such silly things!
I feel bad I am missing these parties though.
Kate is much better today-whatever this bug is, it is pretty mild. But it is weird to me that Anna started with it Sunday night of last week, and Kate just started with it Saturday morning. Usually, it is only a day or so between them getting sick-and they pretty much always get whatever the other one has. I had let myself believe we had gotten lucky and Anna had been the only one to get sick!!
I just hope I don't catch it-illness upsets my UC, and I can't afford a set back!!
Bill's boss took him out to lunch this week. He asked him why he has been so grumpy and if everything is ok, lol. He has been a big pita lately.
Anyway, there has not been much action around here as of late because I am so disgusted with my puffy self. I am like the Michelin man-it is gross. I am surprised the swelling hasn't started going down yet, but I digress. So I decided I should suck it up and give the man some action.
It was like night and day-his mood instantly changed. So then I thought, crap, I am going to have to get over my self-loathing and put out more. He is just such a grump without it!!
I talked to my mom about his grumpiness, and even she said, "Oh Laura, you need to give him more sex. Men aren't like us, honey, they really need that."
Speaking of my weight, I am down to 5mg/day of the prednisone!! This week I will do 5mg/day and then next week will be 2.5mg/day and then I will be DONE. I am very excited about that. Once I am off, it should make losing weight easier. I am so freakin' bloated. You should see my ankles-and even my fingers-everything is so swollen! I leave the house and pray I don't run into people I know, lol.
I will be doing my first official weigh in for MSBL since I got sick with this latest flare. I am anxious to get back on track and get this weight off. I want to feel good again!
My car has an issue. I don't know what it is, but Bill started working on it last week and then gave up. So we are taking it in tomorrow to have it fixed. Bill despises working on my car, and he said he flat out won't do it anymore.
He also said he thinks we should get it fixed, replace the windshield (it is cracked, but it doesn't obstruct my vision, so I haven't replaced it-and it started on the edge, so by the time I noticed it, it was too late to have it repaired) and then sell the POS. I am happy about that!!! But now we need to find a cheap, but reliable, minivan with which to replace it.
I would love a new minivan, but I also love money being in my bank account, so we have agreed we will get something used that is in decent shape, but not too much money. If we can find one.
Laura, your mom, wow. I can't imagine my mom even mentioning stuff like that. She shows and breeds Paint horses. For AI, she says she has to go pick up the "baby batter". LOL! Heaven forbid she say sperm or something. Oh well, at least that's cute.
I saw on FB how sick the girls have been. 5 am puke. Yuck!
Congrats on the pred. You'll be done soon. Hopefully forever!
I'm tired of being so damn depressed. I'm tired of being so broke. I'm tired of "morning" sickness. Seriously, it's stupid. Now my feet are so puffy they hurt to touch. I feel like I'm on pred. I'm so tired of living in this dirty, unorganized house. AmI this depressed on my meds? I don't think so. IDK. I just wanna break!

Glen's birthday (#45) was Friday so we had pizza and cake at my parents' house for dinner.
Yesterday Glen took the kids to the mall, I ran a couple errands and cleaned a bit, then the boys and I went to a cookout birthday party in the evening.
This morning was Sunday school and church, then the boys and I helped with a "Read to Feed" readathon for charity kickoff.
There were almost no customers at the book exchange reading thing so the kids got bored and wanted to go home.
I took them home, then went back to church to help and went to a women's Bible study that started today.
I am super down today. I usually am the day after Joe leaves but he was here for a week so I am even more sad then usual. (add crazy hormones and yeah, I have been crying all day)
I'm trying to get over myself now and get something done in my house. I did the kitchen and now I am getting ready to do laundry. I may even vacuum cuz I am that exciting.

sounds like a few of us had pretty crappy weekends, myself included.
for those of you on f/b, you know my children went to bed at 9pm last night, but didn't actually fall asleep until 1:30AM. yup, that is right...1:30 in the morning.
better yet, dh was at a bachelor party so i got to deal with it all alone.
even better...he said he would be home by 11:30 b/c he was only planning on having 2 drinks and the party was right near our house. nope, his stupid ass rolled in right around when the kids fell asleep--covered in vomit.
the best thing? he got sick in the effing car on his ride home. oh, and he attempted to get sick out the window whilst driving...oh, but it was like 80 degrees here last night, so of course his back window was down and what goes out comes back in in that instance, right?
oh, and did i mention that the kids car seats are in the back seat? of course they are! or were, i should say...since they are now in the driveway covered in vomit.
needless to say, he spent the night in the bathroom and i shipped him off to his brothers house today. if he wants to encourage him to over drink and take shots, he can take care of his stupid ass.

okay---i think my vent is over now:)
Corey, IDK if you'll check this, but: I LOVE YOU! Thank you for making me laugh.
And, sorry you had to deal with that. Men are sucky!
