So I can sleep all day

Remember that I work nights, right. But not every night--4 to 5 nights a week. But, even if I didn't work and I slept most of the night, I still like to sleep late in the mornings. And what does my wonderful Tibby do while I am sleeping. He cuts fire wood, takes out the trash, cleans the kitchen, loads or unloads the dishwasher, does all of the bookwork-business and personal, takes the girls to school,calls me when it is time for me to get up and always kisses me goodbye before he leaves for work even if I don't remember it!! I LOVE YOU TIBBY!

I'm going back to school.....

Got your attention didn't I. It really isn't as impressive as it sounds--it's only one 3-credit course.

My employeer has asked me to become a TMA (trained medicine aide). I have accpeted, but that means back to school for me. I don't start until the end of March, they pay for it and the hours I work as a TMA I get more $$$$. That will will be the best part.

Oh, and for anyone that cares--on Friday I go to the doctor for more test. I can't wait! :(

Doctor visit

Friday's doctor visit did not go as I hoped it would. They did not find a bleeding ulcer. So where did the blood come from? It was black so that means that it was in my stomach at one point for my body to digest it. The doctor is concerned because on Sunday morning my hemoglobin was at about 14. On Friday it was at 8.5, at 8 you need a blood transfusion. Where is the blood coming from--we do not know. I go back on Monday for another blood test.

Pointed boobs

Emers sometimes has a weird sense of humor and also likes to pick on Meggz. On Monday, Emers was outside helping Tibby shovel snow. While she was out there she happen to notice that the lawn furniture on the deck was covered with snow. She also noticed that the nice clean, smooth snow would make a nice place to write a message. Her message---'Meggz has pointed boobs'

No harm done. Only family usually comes over during the week and Gma and Gpa are gone. Wrong!!!! Since on Monday's our shop is closed and school was canceled, Tibby got a phone call from a BVille parent that she needed some stuff done ASAP. He said sure, drop it off!

This was after supper that she would come. So, Tibby turned on the front lights. Kinda spot lights all along the front porch. I am sure it made Emers message glow! The lady came and left with not a word about Meggz boobs. Later, Emers remembered what she had done and reminded Meggz about it. Meggz went out and "erased" it. But, we still wonder if she saw it-------I am sure she did!!!!! Oh yeah, Meggz thought that Emers should be grounded for doing this--but since I had already laugh too much about it, I didn't think grounding her would be right so Meggz took care of her. She put snow in Emers hair--now she feels that they are even.

Chocolate Chips

I had to go to Mom and Dad's today to look for some papers they need in Texas. The drive way was not plowed so to not risk getting stuck, I parked at the end and walked to the house. This was not a pleasant walk because if you read my previous post you would already know that I am weak and tired. Plus, I had on my old shoes that are very old and no longer safe to walk in.

When I got up to the house I noticed that the deck had not been shoveled off. Since the shovel was there I decided to be nice and shovel the deck and in front of the garage. Yes, you are probably thinking why? Aren't they in Texas? Yes, but they do not like it to look like they are gone. And with all the snow we are having--it would take too long to melt off the deck.

So, as I am shoveling I fell. Ya know how when kids sit on their butt with their knees bent, and their feet behind them, that is how I landed. It hurt. It still hurts. And I can't take any Tylenol because of my tests on Friday. It is really going to hurt in the morning.

After I slooooowly got up and finished shoveling, I went into the house. I did not find what I needed. By this time I was feeling weaker and alittle sorry for myself. I opened the refrigerator--mostly empty. I opened the freezer--full, but all frozen, feeling more sorry for myself I remembered the CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

Mom is always good for having chocolate chips in the house---don't let me down now!!! I opened the cupboard door to find the spot empty where the Tupperware container ALWAYS sits. CRAP!!!! As I start to shut the door, I see it. An almost empty bag of chocolate chips. Laying there-long forgotten. Yes! You pulled through for me Mom! Everyone knows that she can't quite put in the whole bag!! I am now happy once again. Thinking maybe things will be alright. I start to open the bag. What the Hell!!! They are white. Not the kind that are suppose to be white, but old chocolate white. Now, that is not like Mom at all--wasting chocolate--letting it get white. What a minute. I am not going to eat them but I better not throw them away either. I am sure she remembers that they are there and already has plans to put them in her next batch of cookies when she gets home. LOVE YA MOM!!!!

ulcer???

On Saturday night while I was getting ready for work, I started passing blood. I really do not like to discuss my BM's but it was ALOT of blood. But, because I like my job, I still went to work. Good thing I did because we were short 2 people. I did not feel good the whole time I was there. At approx. 3 A.M. I went into a residents room to answer his call light. The next thing I remember real well is getting in the blazer with Tibby at about 3:30 A.M. The charge nurse at the care center tried to get my blood pressure but said she had a hard time finding it. My pulse was up to 150----way too high. I did not want to leave work until the work was done but they made me--I do not remember that at all. Tibby took me to the ER. It was determined that I probably have a bleeding ulcer. Now on Friday I get to go to the hospital and swallow the scope!!!!! The bleeding has slowed down but I still feel weak and tired. I'll let you know how Friday goes.

How long will it take?

On Saturday, January 30, Meggz got into trouble and got grounded off the computer and phone until she gets her room clean. And it has to be clean enough for me to approve of it. As of today, this is how it looks.........how long will it take?
