Dominic shared his cold--feeling bad--going to bed!!!

Jules~Teri added me on FB!!

Hi All.

Jules -- I felt like crapola today. I feel a little better now, but not 100%. Hope you feel better!

Big

the kiddos for the day! he has to work tomorrow, but it is okay.....the money will be nice. but he in deed has Wednesday off of work.

we went to a neighbors house for a party, and I had gotten the kids plates together and brought them down for them. I then went back up to get mine and Tommy's plates and when I came down, I opened the door and all I remember is opening the door and then ending up on the ground. I got a nice scraped knee and a nice bruise that goes around the lower part of my knee and a lump of some sort in the bruise.

hi everyone. Hope everyone enjoys their day. Jules hope that you feel better. Ok I must run and get ready for work.

I really should be doing some things off my to do list, but I am sitting on the computer chatting with my sister and checking my email......I will get to it though! I know for sure that I want to clean off the medicine shelf and top shelf in the linen closet.....but that will probably be it!

just thought that I would stop in for a quick second.....I got both sets of parents taken care of for Christmas.....now we just need to buy two 16x20 frames for their presents and we will be good to go! I also just ordered us a photo book with some pictures from places and things we done this summer!

Busy day here. I took mom for a hair-do then got a call for "emergency" baby-sitting. LOL. DD had a flat tire and couldn't get home to watch Mason. So...I got him for an extra 2 hours. Have him tomorrow for a couple hours too, but that was planned.

Nothing much happening otherwise. Used the new washer/dryer and really like them. Today was my Monday of doing laundry...so I got that all caught up.

Food = bad
Exercise = worse. Gotta get my head back in the game.

Have a Happy Hump Day tomorrow!

the kids are all in bed, and Tommy is sleeping on the floor! I am starting to get tired myself and it is only 9:30! so, I am sure that it will be an early night for me....I got every thing together that I need for my first appointment, and I have all of my questions and such together for my second appointment!

we are also getting our new carpet done tomorrow after we get home.....so that should be fun! my MIL is going to put the boys on the bus for us in case we are not here in time. (which reminds me, I forgot to tell the bus driver when she picked them up today that she might be putting them on the bus....I hope there are no problems!)

ugh - kids are driving me nuts! Weight the same...running going pretty good. I feel pretty ready for Race for the Cure on Sunday. I am still taking donations on my Facebook profile, if anyone is interested. $$ goes toward funding mammograms for the uninsured and underinsured.

The school year is in full swing around here. Soccer has started, and I am busy ferrying the kids around to various things. My classes don't start until October 1st, so I can get everyone else settled before I get real busy.

I need to go have some tea before the Big Brother finale...hope all is well with everyone

Katy

Mindee- Sorry..I forget what questions and for what appointment..Losing it here. Anyway, hope it went the way you wanted it to.

Katy- You don't have much time until you start classes...did you get a new notebook and pencils? Haha...the best part about a new school year. Glad you feel ready to run...I admire that.

Susan- Hope you don't "burn out" from working the extra shifts. You still need time to relax. Actually, I did find a coupdl nice things at the garage sales. DH was looking for tools and found nothing. I wasn't looking, but found an exersaucer and a stroller for Mason. The saucer is just exactlly what I was headed to Target that afternoon to buy and I saved about $35.00. The stroller is one of those little ones that folds up like an umbrella...just to have on hand here in case he comes and needs a walk. They usually bring his big stroller and it is a pain for just a quick stroll. Got it for $2.00.

Hope the rest of you gals are feeling better...

I watched Mason yesterday and today..he was so cute and cuddly.

Dr. tomorrow for the dreaded yearly and yes...paps..ugh. Then to make an appt. for the yearly and dreaded mammo. Hate both, but I will do it. Just need new scripts for my medicines and I will be good for another year. No problems to spout off about this year. *knock wood*

Going to ride the bike later as it is really cooler out there. I have to quit thinking of excuses to NOT exercise.

Well, today has been a busy day to say the least! (okay, so it is now yesterday but it is all good!)

I went in for my first appointment with the sliding fee lady, and got approved for that! So, I can now go to the doctors now, when needed, and only pay a $10 co-pay. So, that is reassuring to me!

I had to go back up to the window before I got called back in to talk to that lady because the receptionist didn't realize that I had put two times down for the appointment time.....so I had to go back up there and explain every thing and while I was in the process of filling out the paperwork, I got called in for my appointment with the sliding fee lady.

I then went back in for my actual appointment, and was talking with the nurse. They had me do a pregnancy test there in the office, and it came back negative. So, then the residcent came in and we were talking and I explained every thing to her. She then asked me if I would like to get a beta done to get a definite answer, and I said "yes please." Then she asked me if I had/have any other symptoms besides the different period and the nasuea. I said that I had a list of the symptoms and she asked if she could see it....so I showed it to her. She left the room to talk to the midwife. She came back into the room and said that Joanne (the midwife) recommends an ultrasound instead of a beta and if I had any problems with getting an ultrasound done instead.

They left the room and then came back about 5 minutes or so later. They got the show on the road and were trying to see what they could see, but since my bladder wasn't that full they really couldn't see much. BUT she did tell me that the lining of my uterus is really thick. (and I am guessing that it shouldn't be since I had the bleeding from September 6th through the 9th)

They were looking around and the resident had made a comment about looking to see if they could see what they had used for my tubal. Joanne said that if they used clamps we would be able to see them since they show up on the ultrasound. We looked around, and Joanne said that it looked like she could see one, but again wasn't 100% sure because my bladder wasn't full enough.

She then told me that there is a failure rate with a tubal and it is usually the 5 to 7 year mark. And then she asked me how long after I had Marissa had I had the tubal done.....I told her it was a couple hours later and she then said that that makes the failure rate go up higher.

then she told me that she wanted to see me back in a week for a recheck and we will go from there. she told me that it didn't look like I was 8 or 9 weeks pregnant, but more like 4 weeks or so. She gave me a specimen cup to collect my first morning pee in and to bring it to the clinic with me for my appointment. She then told me that if I am indeed not pregnant then she will give me a prescription for provera to get the linig to shed and then it should hopefully bring AF back to normal.

we came home, Tommy got the house moved around while I got the boys on the bus. I came in and put Marissa down for a nap, and then we ended up taking a nap for about 20 minutes or so waiting for the carpet guy to show up.....it took 5 hours but it is all done now and it looks great!

all in all, i feel a little less confused as to what is going on.....but I am comforted knowing that I am in good hands with Joanne. And if I am indeed pregnant, then I would love to continue on with her as a patient of hers. don't get me wrong, I love doctors, but for some reason I feel like I was meant to be a patient of hers for some reson.

Sue~ You are not losing it, apparently I am because I had thought that I had mentioned it in here!

Katy~ That sounds like me....with the kids driving me crazy! Good luck with your run this coming Sunday!
