First Entry of the New Year!! *EDIT*

Good evening everyone in OD Land. Sorry it has taken me so long to do an update. I hope you all have a good Christmas. Was bad over here. Kids weren’t really into opening their presents but once they seen the box they wanted the stuff out right then and there. We went to my Aunt Jeni’s house and the kids ended up playing in the dogs water bowl. It wasn’t bad.

New Years wasn’t bad either. We went to my moms. Pat and I fought. All wonderful.

Well as you can see my attitude towards New Years is quite different than Christmas. My depression came back in full force. I ran out of medicine Saturday the 27the and I couldn’t get it filled due to the fact it was the weekend and the Pharmacy was closed and after work I just didn’t have any time. So Monday morning I got up and cried. Didn’t want to do nothing. I’ve been having a pain in my pelvis region which goes all the way around to my back. I took a home pregnancy test and it came up negative. Well before I did the test Pat and I were talking and he said “well if you are, you are going to stop taking your birth control.” I came back with a cold hearted reply “No, I am going to keep taking them and hopes it kills it.” Right then and there I knew something wasn’t right. So I went to the doctors. They increased my medicine and took me out of work until the 5th. Well I haven’t been sleeping right either. So Friday I ended up going back due to the fact I still felt awful, the pain and me not sleeping. They kept my dosage the same, I had to go get some blood work to see if my thyroid is out of wake, my iron and all that other stuff, I have to go have an ultrasound to see what is going on and to make sure the cysts on my ovary haven’t changed, and for the sleep I was put on melatonin. I was also taken out of work longer. I am now out of work until the 20th. I got back to the doctors to make sure I am doing ok on the 19th, and my ultrasound is on the 14th. So yeah that’s what is going on with me. I’ve taken the melatonin the past couple of nights and haven’t woken up. I’ve been sleeping through the night. I’m still tired but I can some what function.

The kids are doing wonderful. Owen had is post-op check up. He healed just fine. Riley and Owen had to have there well child checks rescheduled due to the fact they had a cold the day it was originally for. We go this Thursday at 10:45. They are getting so big. They can say “baby”, “mamy”[= Grami], “papa”, “mommy”, “daddy”, “yum”, “no”, “yeah”, “ok”, “uh oh”, “all gone”, “thank you”, and “welcome”. We are working on please and I love you.

So the best news is always for last. We are MOVING!!!! Now more apartment and PAT and myself can’t wait. We looked at a house, and actual house, and we fell in love with it. We are suppose to find out Wednesday if we get it. It’s a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, and open living room/kitchen area. It has a laundry room and the washer and dryer are included. [NO MORE QUARTERS!!!] It’s 1,200 square feet, has a yard and we’d have lake access. It’s on the lake. It’s $675 a month and it would be ours. We would be able to give them the security deposit on the 16th and the first months rent on the 30th. We love it. It’s beautiful. It’s only 8 years old. Drive-way enough for 2 cars, and a shed. No more having to fight with the pricks below me with having there music up so loud I can feel it through my couch, or there AIM up so loud we can hear when they get a message and when the send one, and we can basically tell you what they are talking about. No more having to deal with people entering without permission. Not more having to fight for my parking spot. Hell if I feel like it I’ll park side ways!! PLEASE LET US HAVE THIS PLACE!! The couple who own it are such nice people too. They own a shop right across the street from the house and the live behind and slightly to the left of the shop. I’ll let you know Wednesday. Oh and the biggest plus…WE WON’T BE LIVING NEXT TO HIS MOTHER!!! Woo!!

We also got the payments on the truck deferred. As of now we are caught up on the payments and 2 more months were added onto the end. I’m just happy were back on track.

Anyways, that’s all I have for you all today. Will update in a few days. Until then, toodles….
