Just Because

So, I haven't written a blog in a while. I've been rather busy the last few weeks with physical therapy, planning my trip home for Tabby's wedding, trying to get more organized, and my list just goes on....

Well physical therapy is going well. Although at the moment, I'm in a lot of pain because of my session today. I have chondromalacia (runners knee) and really bad tendinitis. Today's session really hurt, so the therapist taped my knee for the weekend, and well that didn't last long because my knee started to swell, so I have taken some motrin and will be icing my knee after I finish blogging. Hopefully, I will start to feel better soon because right now it really sucks!!!

Heading home on Memorial Day weekend for my friend's wedding, I'm a bridesmaid. An old one at that! HA! However, I'm so glad to get to see Tabby get married. On her wedding day, I will be remembering when I first met her when she was 6. Wow, how the time flies by, so don't forget to blink!!!

My house is still somewhat of a wreak. So, I have been trying to get better organized. I started with the yard because first off I'd rather be outside than inside on any day of the week. I'm going to tackle the office next. That's where the tornado hit, so I just shut the door. However, that is about to change. Wish my luck because I may not be able to come out of that room except for air.

I'm off to ice my knee. My life sometimes feels like a train wreck, but I jumped onto that train while the wheels were rolling, so I guess I have to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

He Called, Finally!!!

I'm sooooooo happy today!!! The boy finally got to call. I haven't heard from him in about a month, so I was missing him terribly. I woke up to the phone ringing at about 2 am, and I jumped and ran to the phone, but then it stopped ringing, so I sat there for about 5 minutes hoping he would call back (it felt like half a hour at least). Finally, the phone starting ringing, and I picked up the phone, and he sounded like he was crying. I said, "what's wrong babe?" He said, "I was mad and about to cry because the phone wasn't working well," and he thought he wouldn't get to talk to me. The phone service over in Afghanistan is very poor. I almost started to cry, but I was to happy to get to talk to him. However, it did make it very hard to fall back asleep after the phone call. Thank goodness for books!

I was asking him what he needed me to send to him, and he was telling me about the bad living conditions. For instance, that morning he woke up to rain falling on him because they were sleeping outside in the elements. I know he's a marine and he can tough it out, but I think to myself how difficult it has to be, and I could never do it. I'm sitting here writing a blog in the comforts of my home, and it makes me feel like crap.

On a good note, we are over the hump. YAY!!! He will be home soon safe and sound. I can't wait!!!

I'm soooooo thankful for my family and friends for all their support. I don't know what I would do without them.

I don't wanna!!!

It's official. I'm getting OLD, and I'm not happy about it. Sooooo, I went to the doctor today, and I actually didn't puke before the appointment. Yay me!!! Also, my doctor is so nice. I really like her so that is a good thing. However, my body is falling apart. My knee has been bothering me for a while now, so I finally went and got it checked out. The doctor looked my knee over, and said that I needed a xray and gave me a referral to physical therapy. Plus, I have to have blood work because I'm approaching the big 30 and with my family history she wanted me to get a workup. Now I get to do my 12 hour fast tonight and go in in the morning for blood work. With that said, my body may be starting to fall apart, but that just means I have to take better care of myself, and not always put myself on the back burner. Also, big thanks to those who hold my hand because I'm a big baby. Love you guys!

Peace and Love!

I did it

I made my stupid doctors appointment. I didn't want to, but Danica kept asking me if I did, so now I have, and I'm not happy about it either. I know I have been putting it off lately as in almost 4 years except for the one ER visit of December of 08. The funny thing is I was a nursing major, and I'm very aware of the importance of my health and getting a checkup. I just hate it. I didn't use to hate going in for checkups. I just hate it now to the point it gives me anxiety. I'm not going into great detail because it is kinda personal for me, and I'm not wanting to let that part of my life be public. So with that being said, I'm gonna go. Let's just hope the anxiety doesn't make me vomit. It's bad enough that it is after midnight, and I can't sleep and to top it off I'm blogging about my stupid doctors appointment. I think I'll just go read now.

Sooooooo, goodnight, sleep tight, and don't let the bedbugs bite if they do bite those bitches back.

I'm a newbie!!!

Where to begin? I guess I should start by saying that this is my friend Danica's idea, so it's her fault if I make anyone mad in regards to what I may blog about. J/K:) Also, some of my other friends are doing the whole blog thing to, so I thought I would give it a try as well.

Here goes..... Life has been crazy over the last couple of months. I moved from Michigan to North Carolina. We had to be on a waiting list for housing, so we lived in what I call a little sardine can. In truth, it was my parents 27 foot travel trailer that they loaned us so that we wouldn't have to get tied up in a lease because we wanted base housing. I guess I should mention my husband is in the military if you can't already tell by now. We stayed in that can a few months and finally got the call for a house. Yay, or so I thought. We got the keys on the 2nd of November, movers delivered our stuff on the 6th, and here is the kicker the boy had to leave for training in California at 2 in the morning on the 8th and was gone for a little over a month. Yippee!!! Plus, the movers broke my very expensive tv.

..... I'm not going to bore you with the other details of holidays, or the boy deploying on our anniversary, or any of the other stuff that has happened. Flashing forward to today. I mentioned that the movers broke my tv. Right? Yeppers I did. After a long process with the claims adjuster, I am finally able to get that broken tv out of my house along with another REALLY HEAVY tv. Thank you Danica for all the help and my neighbor. So we get the very expensive tv out my the curb with no problems, then we start to move the REALLY HEAVY tv, and it is not that easy to do. Here come the funny part, so as Danica and I are lifting this tv out the front door Danica starts to make these funny but agonizing faces that in turn make us start to laugh. Which then makes me pee my pants just a little bit and of course I share this with Danica, and then we laugh even harder. I'm laughing about it right now as I type this blog. Luckily, the neighbor pulled in next door, and she offered to help us carry it to the curb. Thank Goodness!!!

Well, I'm glad to tell you all that may read this that I've changed my drawers, and on that note. I can say that going through all this craziness that is my life. It really makes me appreciate all the people that make my life a little easier.
