It's been awhile. But I've thought of several things I want to remember, so... I thought why don't I blog them! In no way will I remember them all now, or in order.
My girls will be awesome mothers one day. I just can't wait! We took care of a friend's precious 3 year old daughter over the weekend. It was so fun watching the girls with her. They are really good with my great nephew, too, but since was over a longer period of time I really could see how awesome they are! And they even got along way better with each other! Here's some examples Sarah was awesome laying down with her until she fell asleep. They both followed through with getting her to listen to them. Rachel asked her take the paper napkin out of her mouth and when she refused, Rachel took the stuffed dog she fell in love with until she not only took it out of her mouth but threw it away to get the dog back. I high 5'd Rachel and said you learned from the best! It was kinda funny last night, I went to our church's Woman's Christmas tea and asked Pat if she brushed her teeth and prayed before bed. He forgot. Rachel says "he's out of practice" which I thought was pretty funny last night, until this morning when I couldn't find her shoes to take her to pre-school. Then I remembered I didn't get her ready for bed, so I didn't feel so bad.
Last night Rachel was so wound up. She has been taking about college since the beginning of the school year, but last night she wanted details about scholarships and costs and telling me how she's going to get a job when she's 16 to start saving for college. I think it's so amazing she already has a long term goal for herself!
I am quite tired of our toilets in our house. The hall one had been leaking and flooding the bathroom all the time. Pat finally fixed it last week. The master bathroom has had an issue with not flushing since we had it replaced several years ago. Last night I couldn't sleep yet again. Not sleeping is getting old. Anyway at 3:30 in the morning I got out of bed to go to the bathroom, I didn't turn on the light, I walked into water. the water pipe thing was pouring out water. I was so not happy. Joseph was still awake, so I went to get him to help. He threw the rug in the shower and threw towels on the floor. I didn't have the energy to clean it up better or fight with him. So... that's how we left it, until I go home this morning.
I now am on a thyroid medicine. Which is really a pain. Because I have to take it on an empty stomach and then can't eat or take my other meds for 1 to 2 hours. Today I forgot to take it when I woke up Sarah for school, so it was late when I could finally eat this morning, and I was awake almost all night :(
I made a goal for myself to go to the gym every day or I would have to walk around the block, which I totally hate. I was doing really good at my goal until I got the worst toothache I have ever had. I didn't go to the gym or walk for 2 weeks. The pain was relentless I couldn't eat, it was one of the worst pain I've ever had, and that's saying a lot for me who is always in pain. Went to the dentist, he didn't really no what the problem was, so he wanted to fill the tooth beside the one that I thought was causing the pain. I had to wait over the weekend for this horrid idea. The weekend was so painful. So, I see him on Monday, and he decides I need to have a root canal, so I have to go to someone else. Luckily they can see me on Tuesday. I go to him, and he says it probably won't help me to do a root canal on 2 of my teeth, so... he sends me to the oral surgeon, who I got in right away. Only my INR was 4.1 which is too high so.. I had to wait until it was lower than 3.0 So... after fighting with the nurse from my doctor's office I got it down below 3.0 on Thursday, but the surgeon was in Mesa that day. So.. I had to wait until Friday to have the tooth pulled. Then I had to wait over an hour while they checked with my doctor to see if it was OK for them to do it! The surgeon was just going to pull it in Tuesday until I said my INR was so high! My doctor doesn't work on Friday so... finally they told me what the hold up was, when I told them what my INR was they took me back, that's what they needed to know, only my doctor's office didn't even know yet since I test myself at home and call them, but I hadn't even called them yet, I wanted that tooth out and didn't even think about it. Once I'm finally back the tooth was out in less than 15 minutes. I was walking out the door when the nurse comes to get me she forgot to take an x-ray, so... I had to go back in, which took 30 seconds and I was on my way home. The numbing medicine they gave me at first wasn't enough so...the surgeon shot in more. On the drive home I could barely keep my left eye open, it was so weird. The pain was horrible for the first 12 hours after the numbing medicine wore off. I woke up in the morning with a terribly swollen cheek and a bruise that lasted for 10 days :(
That's all I can remember for now. So... when I can remember what else I want to remember I'll be back, unless I forget!
