It finally has come!

It has finally come....I have one more day and night of playing single mom. UGH! I had grand plans of what I was going to do.

That changed when my friend Heather volunteered to help me paint. With my bummed wrist, she was going to paint and I was going to watch the kids. My wrist was feeling better and I wanted to help/ She did all the cutting in and did an amazing job. She also did about 2/3 of the rolling. Thank you Heather!

My wrist didn't hurt hardly at all after my PT appointment on Tuesday. Yeah so I tackeld the rest....touch up of the living room. You know paint should coat easily! It should just go into the groves with ease! LOL! Too bad you have to do the work to get it there.

Last night I was ready to cry! I was stressed and so tired. When Scott is gone I sleep poorly! I hear everything and then cant' get back to sleep. Yesterday my day began at 5am trying to go back to sleep. This morning I woke to the water (which is on my side of the house) kicking on and off with the washing machine. Then when the washing machine was done (opposite side of house) it beep beep beep beeps every 5 minutes. It goes off about 4 times before stopping. Finally I fell back asleep to have Bryan come in and wake me up. Luckily he came in! I would still be sleeping and the girls would have missed the bus.

This morning I have found I have to repaint a lot of areas in my hallway. It was too dark in there last night. I was so tired last night I knew there were some areas that needed more, yet, I hope it would be "hidden" enough and not noticable. WRONG!

Now I have my livingroom, hall and the stairwell (that was fun!) painted. I need to work today to get my original stuff done. I think Scott would appreciate the things I had originally planned more than a beautifully painted home. Time to get moving! Sigh! I wanna go back to bed!

My SIL who's hubby is gone too sent me these songs on youtube. I love the LoneStar video if you don't listen to the others, watch that video. It is hilarious! I felt like him yesterday! My head was spinning!

The funny thing is if the wife is gone, the husband sleep just fine! I do the same thing when Brian is gone at night--check the locks 14 times, look in the closets twice, don't watch a scary show like CSI, make sure your kids are tucked in bed (7 times) before you even think about getting in your own, placing the baseball bat near the front door just in case a bad guy tries to break in.....yeah, it's bad. Glad your hubby will home soon--you better plan a girl's night out.

Facial cellulitis

Leave it to me to get the weird things! This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment! The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th. I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work. They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly. I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement. I was SO excited! Then on Monday it started foming back. So it lasted two weeks. The next week we just did Rocephin shots. OUCH! I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots. The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day. OUCH. So I got 5 rocephin shots that week. It was so much better by that Friday (18). YEAH! Fast forward to this past week. I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin

Goodbye Nala (graphic warning)

  The past 22hrs have been excruciating. 22hrs ago we were sitting down to a late dinner after helping buck hay. Ramen Noodles, the dinner of champions, ya know. We heard this HORRIBLE noise. None of us had a clue what it was. Someone said "It sounds like someone is dieing. Little did we know it was OUR dog! Scott went out to investigate. He was gone for a few minutes and when he came in, he had this look. I said "Do I need to come?". "yes" was the answer I popped up and threw shoes on. When I went outside I saw a car in the middle of the road with a dog BEHIND it. My thought was it was Danny and Nala was sitting there worried. When I went up the boy (17) driving said "she ran out in front of us". It took a minute to realize he was refering to my dog. She was on the ground mangled. Her back legs were a twisted mess. Not much blood but you could hear her troubled breathing. I thought the problem was just her legs. Later I found out d

Brazil

Just over three weeks ago, I recieved a phone call as I was getting out of the car to pick up pizza. It was a interesting conversation.... Scott: Uh, Hon, they want me to go to Brazil. Me: REALLY!!!??? WOW! Scott: ya, the catch is it is for TWO WEEKS. Me: I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott: you don't even have a passport. Scott served his mission in Sao Paulo South and came home 21yrs ago! He has forgotten a lot of his Portuguese. His company wants him to go set up a firm down there with their products. Scott is a no brainer chioce...been there done that type thing. I have asked him many times he wanted to go back. He was never very excited about it. When the phone call came and his voice was exuberant, I KNEW he HAD to go. Two weeks alone with the kids or not, he NEEDED to go. I thought I would solve the no passport issue fast and said "you can be there for work, then I'll meet up with you!". Sounded perfect! It would take me two weeks minimum to get my pa
