carpel tunnel or something else?

A few weeks ago, a student grabbed my right wrist (it was a reflex) I reflectively pulled away, which left my wrist scratched, which later turned to bruising. Since then my hand has been hurting, not all the time, just when I use it, it feels weaker and my hand hurts when I am sleeping. It seems to be getting worse and not better. Is it a coincidence? Or did he injure me some how? Arthritis? It's just so weird because the bruise is gone, there's no swelling, but it hurts. I guess I should try to remember to call my doctor and schedule an appointment :(

Six Flags

S is in CA with the church youth group at Six Flags. I know my dare devil daughter will have a blast, even though I've never been to Six Flags myself. Please pray for safety for her, and the rest of the kids and adults that went. She'll be home tomorrow morning at 7 AM.

Homecoming

Yesterday was J's school's homecoming football game. The JROTC participated in the parade yesterday morning. Juniors and senors got to hand out candy. S and the rest of her middle school got to watch. J was on S's side of the street, she got lots of candy from big brother and was very popular, which is good for her, because she really struggles to make friends. It was cool to hear she got to see him in the parade. Next year I will have to take personal time to go see him, in his last homecoming parade. A few weeks ago J asked a girl to go to the homecoming dance. First time ever he has asked a girl out, she didn't want to go to the dance, he asked her if she wanted to go to a movie or go hang out at the mall! (He asked me what do you do when you hang out at the mall though!, he's never done that before, but knew it was something teens do, lol!)

Geez, it's been 10 days since my last post

And I only have 5 minutes before Grey's Anatomy starts. I guess even with P being on vacation for almost 2 weeks, hasn't left me with any more time. He has helped me by taking the kids to their activities, that has been nice. Today was a long day at work, for parent/teacher conferences. But it will be worth it leaving tomorrow for the day at 12! S did well first quarter in Middle School, earning honor roll. R did well, with everything except writing, which sadly kept her of honor roll. She was positive and said she has 3 more quarters to earn it. That's my girl! Not to leave J out he has semester grades in high school on quarterly grades. But he is doing well, even with junior year being tough.

Sad

The 3 day weekend is over. Friday after school, I went grocery shopping so there would be one less thing to do during our 3 day weekend. We all just hung out as a family Friday night. Sat. I did a few errands and got meals prepped for this week, and laundry done, and I watched disc 2 of the first season on Fame, and watched My Life In Ruins. I had a sinus headache that would not go away. I was sound asleep before P made it home from work at 8:30. Sunday morning I had to leave extra early to set up for church, and greet/sign in the babies through 3 year olds, for both services. Grabbed some lunch, picked up girls took them to their Snow Queen rehearsal. Very disappointed to find out that S and R, will not be dancing the same weekend as their cousins. There's nothing we can do about it, so even though it upsets me, I am not going to let it destroy me. Dropped S off at Aunt Jul's for the rest of the day and night. The rest of us played a really long new game P got on clearance at Fry's called- Pirates. R and I got bored with it, so we weren't very upset when we lost all our gold coins. I have been watching all the new medical dramas that just started. One was on last night, I feel asleep last week watching it, and again this week. I just kinda wanted to like it because the hospital is in Pittsburgh. I'll give it another chance. Today we dropped my car off to be fixed, AC, weird lights coming on, new tire, oil change, clicker thing. Saturn fixed it all except the clicker thing they have to order, today while we were at the movies. We went to the Toy Story (s) in 3D, I think it was a waste to spend the money on seeing the movies that we own, even if they are playing in 3D. P loved it, so I guess that's good, that one income maker did. I need to be off to bed, but I'm curious about why P's Dad called P and his brother over to talk about the weekend grand Canyon hike that they are supposed to leave for on Friday.

I thought

yesterday's headache was bad. But today's is even worse. Blah. Tylenol hasn't helped much. I'm starting to feel very crabby.

One more day...

Then a 3 day weekend! Illnesses have taken a hold of lots of kiddos, but surprisingly not much staff on the campus I work at. Not me or R, thank goodness. But it's made my work load a lot harder the past 3 days.

Hours in the Day

The weeks are so long in between weekends. And really even though I am "off" from work. I've been busy doing stuff since 8 this morning. I am so tired. I've totally been thinking about for a few weeks, how can I enjoy more of my weekends, like have a day I can sleep in, lay about and do nothing, or go do something fun the whole day. It's not like I don't do anything all week long. I do laundry 2 times during the week, so I'm not doing a million loads on Sat. Today is 5 loads, and I'm not done yet. I could get away with not making ahead or starting a few meals for during the week on Sat. but I like to have my menus planned and dinners at least prepped, so when I come home from work, I don't have to stand any longer than necessary at the stove, my feet hurt and I'm so tired, and then there's always having to shuffle kids around stuff and making sure homework gets done. The house is roughly cleaned, which the kids helped me with. P is off at 4:30, the plan is to take the kids to see the Toy Story's in 3D, right now I am much to tired, but I am hating myself for wanting to stay home and just let him take them. It has been ages since we've all done something together. I'm supposed to go to a church meeting at 9 tomorrow, but I said I couldn't be there, I already feel terrible about missing it. There's just not enough hours in the day for me, I'm so tired.
