No More Hospitals Please. Thanks.

You know how sometimes things happen and really, you didn't plan for them to go down the way they did? That's how I feel about October. Wow, did that month blow. Here's a short novel quick lowdown for ya:

  • Sept 19th - Went to LaCrosse. Had a great time with G and her family. Got to hang out some with my mom and aunt who were in town for the weekend.
  • Sept 20th - Killer migraine. Good times.
  • Sept 21st - Came home
  • Sept 23rd - Went to ER for migraine
  • Sept 24th - Went to ER for "it never went away or down really but they didn't want to keep treating me" migraine
  • Sept 26th - Began fever of 103.8
  • Sept 29th - Saw doc for fever and gagging issues
  • Sept 30th - Saw Ear, Nose, Throat doc for said gagging issues, was sent and admitted to hospital
  • Oct 5th - Released from hospital
  • Oct 6th - Took the Peanut out of preschool until next year
  • Oct 7th - Went to my parents' place in Wisc with the girl to recover (bwahaha recover)
  • Oct 18th - Came home
  • Oct 31st - Saw Perinatologist and Genetic Specialist down at the U
So for October it was all about resting, trying to get my walking stamina back. The one trip to the grocery store wore me out so much that I slept for hours and hours. Here's what we know now: I had mono. No clue where I got it from. Don't really care right now since it's gone and I plan to never see it again. I also have tested positive for cytomegalovirus. We're waiting for the third round of blood tests to come back before we start worrying about it. I had an ultrasound done in the hospital (two if you count the spleen/liver ultrasound and the doc snuck a peek for me and got me a picture). Baby was fine. Yesterday we got this:









So the bottom line is I'm ok and so is the baby. The due date is May 1, 2 or 4th - depending on who you ask. I think the baby will arrive at the end of April but I like being different. I should be going back to work in a couple weeks. Apparently they miss me there. Truth be told, I miss them too.
I'm very glad to be home and with my family. It's comforting to have the screaming and bickering with the kids in my face again. Those of you who've been away from your kids for a long period of time know what I mean. Of course, I'm insane but I did miss it. Just not a lot.

And since it's NaBloPoMo again, it's really good to get back to blogging! See ya tomorrow.

Congrats! I didn't even realize you were pregnant.

I hope the rest of this pregnancy gets a lot easier.

Help, I Need Somebody, Help, Not Just Anybody, Heeeeeelp!

So yeah, there's a lot of crap on that side of the page ya know? ~~~~~> I want to make this three columns wide. Two smalls on the sides and one large for my useless words and thoughts. I need to move some of that crap somewhere else and I'd rather the somewhere else not be the garbage. I'm still in Blogger. I have no clue how to go about getting my own domain name, what is a good cost, who to trust. So please, help a bloggin' sister out. Any helpful advice, tips, paths in the right direction would be AWESOME! I don't mind paying someone to hook me up. I would like to note however, I don't have one of those magical money trees. Thanks folks. I heart you all.* *except you people who come here for the Doodlebops sans makeup. I mean I like that I have "a lot"** of traffic but it's really rather depressing when 70% of it is from that alone. Christ, what else is out there to boost the traffic? Johnny does the Sprites and there is video? **and by a lo...

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

Trish Needs.......

I did this cause of Suzi, whose page I read religiously - check her out here . I'm going with the top 30 Google responses to "Trish needs" because SO many of them are related to wrestling of which I am a fan but not capable of doing without killing myself and/or the other person (unless it's the husband in bed but we won't go there. No. We won't. His sister reads this! Hi Steph!) I've decided to add commentary where I feel it's needed because, well, because I can. 1. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men (amen to that my friends) 2. Trish needs to get this card off as soon as possible 3. Trish needs to do some serious damage control 4. Trish needs your help (help packing, help mentally, help with laundry, help with Monkey Boy, etc) 5. Trish needs to come to OPS and talk to all counselors & supervisors 6. Trish needs a makeover ( I don't think it's THAT bad!) 7. Trish needs an intervention (I do not have an Oreo pr...
