This morning I watched a couple shows with my hubby. We watched The Good Doctor and The Big Bang Theory. Very different shows. I really enjoy The Good Doctor. It’s about an autistic young man who gets hired as a surgical resident. It’s mostly from his point of view, so it’s quite interesting and very entertaining. Once we finished watching tv, I had some lunch and did the stuff I had to get done for my lab test. Then I rested for about an hour. I got up and had to take all 3 of our kiddos to the eye doctor. All four of us had appointments. My son’s eyes are still perfect, which is good. Both of the girls eyes got a bit worse. I ordered glasses for them, before our insurance coverage runs out. I have to mail in the receipts tomorrow. On our way home I popped into the lab. When we got home I figured out supper and started to cook. My hubby left with my daughter for dance. I fed the three of us supper. After we ate we went downstairs. I went on the treadmill for 40 minutes, my daughter went through some of her drawers in her bedroom and my son played on the iPad. When I finished on the treadmill, we went upstairs. My son had a snack and read his French book and practiced his spelling words, then we came upstairs and got ready for bed. He’s sleeping and I’m hopefully going to be sleeping soon. I’m feeling sleepy. I had a difficult time waking up today. I need more sleep tonight. So I’m going to go to bed now. Night All! 💤😴

To help with research and treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health topic list.””Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!

A Trip To The Lab

This morning once I had my son ready and off to school, I sat with my hubby and watched a couple HGTV shows. I made an appointment to have my dog groomed on Thursday, she desperately needs it!! After lunch, I drove my daughter back to school and then went to the lab to pick up the instructions for the lab test I have to do to test for parasites. It’s not going to be a fun test, but I need to do it, because I’m tired of my tummy feeling like this. When I got home, I did a few things and then I decided to nap for a bit. I went to bed around 2:00 and woke up at about 4:30. I helped my younger daughter by reading through her resume and helping her write a short cover letter to go with her application to work at camp this summer. Then we went downstairs, because my hubby had supper ready. We ate supper and then I watched a couple recorded shows with my oldest daughter. My hubby and other daughter left for a couple of hours for her dance. Once our last show was finished, I did a couple things to get ready for bed while my son read his French book and did his French spelling word list with my daughter. Then I got my son ready for bed and once he was settled, I also got ready for bed. Now I’m going to lie my sick tummy down. Night All! 💤😴

Dr Appointment For My Little Man!

I haven’t really written anything interesting in a while. I just have been using this more like a journal of my day than a blog. I used to talk about different things and I would write poems. I’m pretty boring these days. Sorry guys. I haven’t been creative in some time. Weird. I haven’t done any painting or poetry. I don’t know why.

My tummy is bugging me, which isn’t really a shocker I know. I need to do that lab test tomorrow. Today I didn’t really have a chance. I guess I could’ve in the earlier morning, but I’m usually half zombie at that time of my day. By the time I was feeling more alert, I had to eat and then take my son to the city for a check up. My dr realized that she hadn’t seen him in a few years. So I made an appointment for him a few weeks ago. That appointment was early this afternoon. They weighed and measured him and the dr checked him out and talked to him. She asked him about his diet, screen time and extracurricular activities. She has no concerns about him. She said he seems to be a healthy, happy little boy. At least one of us is healthy! Once we got home, I went to pick up my daughter from school. Then we went home for about 15minutes and then we left again and I drove her to dance. After dropping her off, I went to Winners for a bit and then I went to my parent’s house. I had supper with them, although they were not expecting me, they still managed to make their meal for two work for all three of us! It was good too! After supper I had coffee with them and then I had to go to pick up my daughter. We got home close to my son’s bedtime. I only had time to do a couple quick things and then I had to get him ready for bed. We finished his library book before bed, so that he can have it for library at school tomorrow. Once he went to sleep, I got ready for bed too!! Now I’m all set to hit the hay! Night All! 💤😴

Cabinet Handles – Yay!

This morning I slept in again. I woke up with my son again, or rather, he woke me up again. I didn’t actually get up though. He gave me a kiss and went downstairs and I went back to sleep. When I did wake up my hubby, my oldest and my son had already left to go sledding. It was just my dancer and I. I somehow missed a phone call from my mom while I was in the living room having tea. I’m not sure how, as it was sitting right beside me. It was strange. I called my mom back and once I finished talking to her, they came home from sledding. All five of us started to clean up the main floor of the house, because my parents were coming over and our house needed a good tidy. It took a couple of hours, but we were just finishing up when they got here. My okay and I said hello to my parents, then went to the Sobeys to pick up something for supper. We came back home and it was time for my hubby to drive my daughter to her solo practice. They left and my dad continued putting the new handles onto our kitchen cabinets (yay!), my mom and my son played a game and I put groceries away and did potatoes with my daughter, she peeled while I cut them. I continued getting supper ready and emptied the dishwasher, while my dad finished the handles. We vacuumed the kitchen and dining room. We were just finishing up and supper was close to being ready, when my daughter and hubby came back home. He cut the chicken and then we had supper. After supper and coffee, it was already just passed 8:00. My parents went home and I did a few things in my room. I went downstairs and my son was just finishing playing his game for the night. I did a couple things in the kitchen while he read his French book with my daughter. Then we came upstairs and got ready for bed. Him first and me once he was settled. I’m going to go to the lab tomorrow and find out what I need to do for my lab test to help find out what’s up with my tummy. For now I’m going to put my sick tummy to bed. Night All! 💤😴

Poor Momma’s Nose☹️

I slept in this morning. Well, my son woke me up at about 9:15, but I didn’t actually get up. It didn’t take me too long to fall back asleep. My son and oldest daughter came upstairs together a couple hours later and woke me up. We all stayed on the bed for a long time. Talking and playing a game on my phone. My hubby came home from the grocery store and we all got off the bed and went downstairs to help with putting the groceries away. We did a bit of cleaning and things. Then my middle daughter and I went to Sobeys and picked up a couple things that my hubby forgot earlier, like dog food. We came back home for a half hour or so, then we left again. I drove her to dance and then went and got my nails done. From there I popped into Winners briefly and then I went to my parent’s house. I had supper and a visit with them. My mom is looking pretty rough. She had to get a bit of skin cancer cut out of the side of her nose and she has bruising on the side of her face and on her eye and her poor nose is all bandaged up. The good thing is that they got it all out!! It doesn’t look pretty right now, but it will heal and she will be okay. It’s pretty shocking how many stitches they fit on the small surface area that they cover!! Around 8:30, I left my parent’s and went back to the studio to pick up my daughter. I arrived about 2 minutes late, but it seemed much later because they were finished early and I was the last parent to arrive! I felt bad, because her teacher and her girls were waiting and couldn’t leave until I got there. Sorry!! We’re usually on time!! We drove home and my daughter got a few things together and then I drove her to her friend’s house, it was a birthday party and my daughter was a bit late, but since it a sleepover she still really wanted to go. I came home and briefly sat with my other kiddos, but not for long, because I had to get my son ready for bed not long after. Once he was in bed, I also got ready for bed and then I got into bed and wrote about my day. My tummy feels like it’s eating itself (to use a phrase that my daughter always uses.) I’m tired of the tummy problems. Foreign bugs aren’t fun… Well, I’m going to bed now. Until tomorrow then. Night All! 💤😴

Yucky Tummy!

This morning I watched The Good Doctor with my hubby. It was a good episode. Afterwards, we got our printer going and I printed out the application forms for non-group Blue Cross coverage. My hubby’s health benefits will run out in just over a month. So, until he finds something else that, hopefully, has coverage, we will need some kind of health insurance. I filled out the forms and got them ready to be mailed. I also printed some other claim forms that needed to be filled out and sent away to our current provider, before it’s too late. I had to drive to Rexall to buy envelopes and stamps. I filled out the envelopes there and left them at the Rexall post office. I drove back home and had some lunch. My hubby and I talked a bit. My stupid stomach was making me crazy, so around 1:30 I went upstairs to bed. I didn’t really fall asleep for awhile. I was just drifting off when my son came in and gave me a kiss. I talked with him briefly, then he went downstairs and I slept until about 5:00. My hubby came in and woke me up. We talked upstairs for a while and my oldest and my son joined us. Then we all went downstairs. We had leftovers for supper. Then we went downstairs and we looked at how my hubby and daughter had cleaned up some and moved things around. I can now use my treadmill, because there is room for it to fold down. We organized the board games onto a shelf that we moved from one side of the room to the other. My son and I went upstairs and played together, while my hubby and daughter did a bit more downstairs, then they also came upstairs. I let my son stay up a little later, since it’s Friday and we came up to get ready for bed around 10:00. He’s sleeping and I’m about to do the same!! I’m frustrated with my tummy. It looks like I will have to do the lab test, because the antibiotics have not helped me at all!! Yucky tummy!! Night All! 💤😴

Mmmm…Breadsticks!

I was still feeling quite tired when I got up this morning. I sat with my hubby for a bit, but it didn’t take me long to decide that I was going to lie back down. I went back to bed and it took no time to fall asleep. I was so tired anyway. My hubby and oldest daughter woke me up around 2:30. We were all planning on going to the city today while my daughter was dancing. We had to leave right after they got home from school. We dropped her off and then we went to visit Carol and Rae. We talked with them for about an hour and a half and then we drove back to pick her up from dance. From there, we went out to dinner at the Olive Garden. Afterwards, we drove back home. Everyone went inside and then my oldest and I quickly went to Sobeys to grab just a couple things. I had to get my son ready for bed right away after we got back. It was already his bedtime! So I got him squared away and then did my stuff. My stomach is not really getting any better. It feels the same. I’d think that if these antibiotics were going to work that it would have been on it’s way by now. Who knows. I just know that I don’t want to feel like this any longer. It sucks. Night All! 💤😴

A Shorter Rest

Today once the kids were off to school, I had my tea and watched some tv with my hubby. I don’t know how long these pills are supposed to take to make me feel better, but I still felt like hell today. I made myself stay awake to talk to my mom and to make my daughter food and help her with her CALM homework at lunch. Then, around 1:00 I went upstairs to bed. The problem was that I was unable to actually fall asleep for some reason. However, I felt pretty miserable, so I just continued lying down. I figured I was getting some rest at least and I didn’t want to do anything else. The kids had early dismissal today, which meant that they were finished at 2:20 and at 2:30. I was still lying down when my hubby brought them home from school. My son came upstairs and gave me a kiss on the cheek and then went back downstairs. I stayed in bed until my hubby came up, at around 3:45. We talked for a bit, then I got up and had a nice long relaxing shower. After I got out of the shower, I went downstairs and had a bit of the supper that my hubby had made. He left with my daughter, to drive her to dance. My oldest and my son were playing his Zelda game and I sat with them downstairs. It’s such a long, complex adventure game and he’s put a lot of hours into it. I think he’s getting really close to the end. It’s a good story. We stopped his game a bit before bed time, to practice his spelling words. Then we came upstairs and we both got ready for bed. I can’t wait to lie down, I’m feeling tired and sick. It’s gotten so long that it’s just super frustrating. The nausea is killing me! It’s like it’s never ending. When you feel yucky it’s difficult to think about other things and it tends to dominate your mind and take over. I feel like I’m repeating it over and over, I don’t feel good – I don’t feel good!! Super annoying. Sorry for that! I’m off to bed! Night All! 💤😴

A Lump In My Throat

Today I got up and got my son ready for school and dropped off. Then I had breakfast with my hubby and we watched a couple episodes of Love It Or List It on HGTV. I started my antibiotics, but still felt nauseous and I felt like I had a lump in my throat all day. It was difficult to swallow and quite annoying. Around 11:00 I went to bed and I slept for a long time again today!! I woke up around 3:30, when my hubby came upstairs after picking up the kids from school. I got up then and went downstairs. I sat with my son while he played a game on the PlayStation and my hubby and daughter went to the store. My oldest came up from her dungeon (aka her room) and sat with us. When my hubby got home and we found out that my daughter’s dance was canceled tonight, he decided to go visit a friend of his. My daughter helped my son with his game while I wrote a reference letter for my daughter for her CALM class. When the letter was finished and they completed a few things on his game, my oldest, my son and I went to Shoppers and Rexall. Then we went to the new Maina’s and picked up supper. We brought it back home and had supper. My daughter and I watched Hawaii 5 O. Once our show was finished, I got my son and then myself ready for bed. I’m feeling pretty crappy right now. My tummy is bad, I have a headache and I still feel like I have a huge lump in my throat. It’s only 11:30, but I’m tired already and I’m going to go to sleep. Hoping that these antibiotics do something!!

Night All! 💤😴

Finally Saw A Dr

This morning I got up and got my son ready for school. Once he was gone I had some tea and watched an episode of Property Brothers with my hubby. Then, because I could hardly keep my eyes open and my tummy was really bothering me, I went upstairs and went to bed. The story of my life right?! Anyway, I stayed in bed for a long time. I actually woke up when I heard my hubby shut the front door when he was going to pick up the kids from school. I was super surprised that I slept for so long. Usually I sleep for a while, then lie in bed awake. I stayed in bed until they got home and then I got up. My hubby took my daughter to dance and my oldest daughter, my son and I played wii party 10. When the game was finished, I drove to Sobeys and got some groceries for supper that we needed. Then I came back home and cooked supper. We had to eat quickly, because both my daughter and I had dr’s appointments at the Beaumont walk-in clinic. Hers was at 7:00 and mine was at 7:10. They took us into the room together and the dr talked to each of us. My daughter just needed to get a couple of prescriptions filled and I talked to her about my tummy being bad the past couple of weeks. She thinks it’s from Jamaica, maybe the water or something. I’m taking the antibiotics that she gave me for traveler’s diarrhea. She also gave me a lab requisition to use if, when the antibiotics are finished, I still feel the same way. The requisition will check for parasites, etc. I didn’t write most of that very clearly!! Sorry!! We went to the Rexall afterwards and my daughter dropped off her prescriptions and I picked mine up. Then we came home and my son played his Zelda game until it was time to get ready for bed. Crossing my fingers that the antibiotics work. I will start them tomorrow. Now I’m going to bed. Night All! 💤😴
