Long day....


I must be having a sugar crash. Okay, so for those that don't have facebook/don't get on facebook often or just don't read my posts :) I have Candidiasis. I knew I had Thrush about 2 months ago when my tongue was coated white and my tongue started to hurt. I've only had Thrush once before and I feel really sorry for little babies who have it because it really does hurt to "suck" if you have it. I have been countering it on my own with pro-biotics and it seemed to be going away with only a flair up every now and than to remind me. I went to see my reflexologist - maybe 3 weeks ago - and my feet have NEVER hurt so bad in so many places as they did this time. OW! Grrr. (And my feet STILL hurt on the tops...boo) She stopped after a bit and asked if I wanted to be Detoxed first or should she treat the Candidia first? Rofl...I love Sarah - straight to the point and no I did not tell her I had Thrush, you can't smell it and my tongue is no longer white =P. She body tested (yes sorry to my friends who don't believe in herbs - cover your eyes Dr Becca ;) ) me and gave me all this stuff to counter my yeast. The yeast is all over in my gut, having descended from my mouth and starting a party for a normal yeast infection below - can you say WAHOO?!? Me neither. =P My body is SCREAMING for sugar and I really haven't felt the cravings - thank heavens! But today I will admit to about 3 baked s'more's and a 32 oz cherry diet coke. The DCoke doesn't have sugar but I'm sure the cherry flavoring is ONLY sugar. :D oops.

Today was Olivia's big day at the Periodontist. Mouth surgery at 12 noon and she's been freaked out, for good reason, for the past week. Dean gave her a blessing last night to help calm her down and she actually DID sleep - YES! When I got up I gave her the generic Valium and about 45 min later we headed in. I really wonder if it's just something with her bones or if these are just her trials in life but my poor baby. Head surgery at 2 months old (for which she still has an extra hole in her skull from), gum grafting surgery, teeth too large for her little mouth resulting in braces with brackets to pull her jaw even (starting in August :( ), and her wisdom teeth are already making an appearance. Seriously? She's only 10! :( Like I said, my poor baby. However, she doesn't get sick nearly like the boys did and do...I guess everyone's trials are different. She did really well in surgery. It lasted less than 30 minutes, only pulling her out of anesthesia took some time. She'll want to know so I'll put on here: she saw three of me, wanted to know when Dean and I got an extra TV in the bedroom ;), wanted to know where her glasses went - freaked out about it actually, didn't even remember getting a shot but did remember the prize from the prize box they were trying to distract her with. Within 45 min of being home she wanted to on the computer or calling her friends...and than she would pass out again :). She's thrown up twice - getting rid of the last effects I assume but keeping some liquid in her - her biggest complaint? The temporary retainer they put in the top of her mouth to guard her graft pull spot. "It's weird to talk with this on...I can't swallow with this in". I'll remind her of this when she' out of braces and LOVING only having a retainer ;).

Here or facebook?


So Mrs Sarah has a cool thing on her blog that I have just copied so that I can do it. However, I'm thinking that I may do it under notes on facebook since more people are there that I would be talking to. If you are interested here it is:

Day one: ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
day two: nine interesting facts about yourself.
day three: eight ways to win your heart.
day four: seven things that cross your mind a lot.
day five: six things you wish you’d never done.
day six: five people you couldn’t live without.
day seven: four moments that changed your life.
day eight: three favorite foods, movies, and colors.
day nine: two words that describe your life right now.
day ten: one confession.

Yes it would give me something to blog about for 10 days straight, hmmm...I will have to think about it.

Spent most of the day out at the garden. Poor Tyson's mom (I really need to find out her name :( ) is sick with the crud and sounds horrible. I swear the woman is ADD and OCD so she NEVER stops - not even when sick! I know some other women like that, I fortunately or unfortunately -idk, am not one of them these days. When I am down, I am usually down for the count. We planted some potato's today, watered and weeded, aerated the tomato's. Ben and I than went back later so that he could help with some weed-eating and I could replant the potato's per the mom's instructions so that we actually will hopefully get some to grow this year. :) We've never planted potato's so here's hoping! I than went over to try to dig around some of the irrigation pipe and a bit of a trench ...that didn't go so well. I really, REALLY hate not being able to do things that I should. Let's just say I was sweating like a pig and it took me a good hour or more to be able to breath again. >[...yes, that's after using my inhaler and a shower. Grrr... Okay, it's 1 am :) and I haven't taken ANY pills today 0.0 and I am feeling it big time. Time to see if I can sleep at all or if I've used all my energy elsewhere today. Paix

Seriously?


I just have to say I am getting really, REALLY tired of this PTSD and whatever else it is that is sapping all my energy. I AM NOT Eighty yrs old; therefore, I should be able to do much more than the typical 80 yr old. I went to work, woot busy day - can't stand to get paid to do nothing, so busy I was late for carpool, fine that stressed me out made me somewhat anxious. Yes, I know, I did text the kids and there was no problem but I was LATE and I knew it - personal integrity thing you know? My house has not been a mad house, it's been a normal teenage boys live here house today. Anthony is into making movies again - YES!. That means no more mopping around, thank Heavens! But it also means Matt, Max, Ben and Anthony are traipsing all over my neighborhood and house being silly, loud, and busy. Not a problem except when they take off and don't tell me they are gone >[ and than I find out that Anthony is riding onto of Max's car down the street filming........AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! #(#%*$@)!@)!_~!_$%& Seriously, it's a good thing I don't have high blood pressure, I'd be dead. Olivia than comes up with "Oh btw, I need a costume for my little poetry skit thing on the last day of school" >.<........but Ivey has an idea - GOOD! Pack Olivia, a big cardboard box in the car and drop her at Ivey's - I like how that's getting done. :) Cherisa is being awesome and doing some of my yardwork stuff that my body won't let me do - buuuuuuuut, that requires texts (while driving, at work) ummm...0.o *breathe. So I've taken some anti-anxiety med's for just such occasions...made my double batch of bread dough and am letting it rise...and sitting here writing on my blog. Trying to relax, trying to not crash before bedtime....really wanting to get outside and plant my strawberries >.<.
