This is who I am

Well hello again... It has been a long time.  I am trying to catch up on you all, but it has been hard.

I have been sick lately.  I had some kind of stomack flue a couple weeks ago...  I thought I was going to die.  that lasted about three days, then last friday I started getting real stuffy and coughing a lot.  I finally went to the Dr Friday because it had been a week, and I was still running  low grade fever....

The Dr said that I have sinusitis..  she was more worried about the low grade temp because of my diabetes.  I guess my sugar isn't really in good control.. it isn't out of control, but not as good as she wants it to be.  She was going to raise my blood sugar meds, but I begged her to give me two more months to try to get it undercontrol myself.   I really haven't been very good with my eating...  I have started eating candy again... Not alot, but as a diabetic, only a little can be too much.

I have taken a likin to those Take 5...  I don't know if you have tried them, but they are the bomb... they are pretzles covered with chocolate.  Mary is so sweet.. she loves to try to surprise me, but she is so bad at surprises...  she likes to buy Take 5 for me because she knows it makes me smile..  The Dr told her that she has to stop that.... 

I worked sick last weekend, and it really sucked.  I had to wear a mask all night..  All I kept thinking was how would I like to be in the hospital with a sick nurse taking care of me...  The Dr put me out of work this weekend, and I know that it is for the best...  I am a little concerned about my job...  they don't like ti when you miss work...  I know that I have a DR note, but that doesn't always matter to them... they give you 6 sick days a year, but if you use 4 of them, you get written up... it think this is like 6 or maybe 7...  I may get in trouble for this one..

The kids are doing pretty good.  The baby is getting big so quickly and Samarah isn't a baby any more... she is quite the big girl now..  Stephen is in jail for VOP...  he goes to court the 24th of this month... he should get time served and be done with it, but we will find out..

I have been really impressed with how Jen is dealing with it...  she is taking good care of the kids and she is even keeping the house clean....  and paying the bills.  I know that it hasn't been easy for her, but she is handling it like a champ.... I can see that she is growing up... finally...LOL

I have a lot of studying to do...  this is the last part of my anotomy class and this time the teacher is doing it different.  We are studying the nervous system.. and he isn't even lecturing about it... I have to learn it on my own.. I am no good at self study, so it has been pretty difficult for me...

I hope you all are doing well.. I am going to try to read a few journals today...

Have a great day..

MaryAlice

  Glad to hear you're feeling better and to see you are still around.  Sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now.  Good luck with your class and hopefully things will calm down down for you over the summer.............unless your taking another class???

  Hi Mary Alice,
  I'm spending the weekend catching up on journals too.....I think we almost crossed journals at the same time!!! LOLOLOL!
  Glad to see you are on your way to feeling better.....I so understand being sick until you think you will surely die!! But I think I'm finally on the mend as well....fingers crossed for both of us.
  Loved your pictures....you look FABULOUS!
  
  Pooh Hugs,
  Linda
  P.S........I hate to admit it, but I have snitched a Take 5 (or 2 or 3!!!) and you are right, they are YUMM-O!
