I went to the doctor this morning. It was NOT a good visit.
My insurance is dragging their feet on giving approval for a MRI on my back so I can get the pinched nerve fixed.
My blood work came back and it wasn't very good.
I am now on cholesteral/triglycerite meds, thyroid med, stronger allergy med, "don't smoke" med....
I'm gonna have to get one of those "old people pill dispensers" just to keep track of what I need to take and when!
As I was leaving the doctor said "oh yea, try to work on losing some weight"...if I hadn't been so tired and sick, I would have poked him in the eye.

Sometimes....I wonder
Well let me tell ya, things never are boring around my house.
Yesterday my husband went back to work after being off for 10 months. I truly expected to come home from work and find him napping, but he was up, I was delighted.
The delighted part quickly left though after I asked him how his day was. He proceeded to launch into a 15 minute "bitch" session about what job he had been assigned to. Now, to be clear, he was only assigned to the job yesterday, he didn't actually DO the job as the production line is not running this week, everyone is just there to get job assignments and I suppose complain about it.
He then said that it made him realize how much he hated it at GM. I finally broke my silence and told him that I didn't want to hear him complain and he needs to get up every morning and be absolutely grateful that he has a job to go to. He had 10 months to find another job and he chose not to, so get over it and be frickin happy!
I then went in to start dinner (yea, I had to cook even though every single person I live with was home by 3pm). While I was cooking, Jules had the gall to ask if he could go "spar" with his friend Jake. I told him no. He then began to launch into the whole why?? He can't do anything during the day because he has to go work at the recycling plant...Let me tell you, I just about stroked out...
I told him he better be thankful he's not locked up 24/7 like he was supposed to be and no one took his freedom away from him but himself and if he didn't stop with the whining, I would personally talk to the jailer and make sure he would be locked up.
I then went to JC's room to see if he was home and when he opened his door he wouldn't let me in and acted like I was intruding.....that did NOT go over very well with me.
I finally just gave up and went to bed at 7:15pm....I tell ya, they better all be a little more appreciative of what they have or they just may lose it all.

Penal Daycare System
My oldest son has been going through what I can only describe as a wild, rebellious, zero brain function stage in his life.
He has been in legal trouble now for 2 years (mostly probation and a 6 1/2 month stay at a rehab).
About a month ago, his zero-brain function disability led him to try and shoplift a $70 shirt from Dillards. He was caught before he even made it out of the store. He was charged with misdemeanor shoplifting.
He went to court this past Monday for what I thought was an arraignment where he would just enter his plea and then go back for sentencing which is why I went to work and sent my husband with him. I thought wrong. The judge (the same judge he had for juvenile court) decided to give the sentencing that day, but, he wanted to see my son and husband in chambers before doing so.
My husband decided at that precise time to let out all his frustrations and anger about our son to the judge.
So, instead of my son getting what the other 7 boys that went before him for the same charge, he got 30 days mandatory, $564 fine or 40 days if unable to pay, 100 hrs community service and 1 yr probation.
In Bossier, where we live, they have a "two for one" special on jail time. Isn't that sweet? Just like at the bars.
So, he was taken directly to jail from court on Monday for what I had assumed would be a 35 day stay.
Here's where it gets interesting....I get home from work on Wednesday, I have a raging headache, no one is home, so I put my jammies on and crawl into bed for a nap before bedtime.
At 6:30pm, I am awaken by my son with a kiss and hug...the son that is supposed to be locked up.
They decided to release him and he has to go Monday through Friday from 7am-3pm with weekends off.
Thursday morning he was up before me, made coffee and was packing his lunch when I came out of my room....really??? THIS is what finally motivates him??? REALLY???
My son is in the Penal Day Care system....
Will wonders never cease???

Family....gotta love em.....
Well, what a couple of days it's been! My SIL & BIL found out on Monday that their house (which they have not paid a mortgage on for over a year) was going to auction on Wednesday morning...They acted like it was a big surprise...go figure, how dare the bank kick them out after a year or more of not paying the mortgage without any notice.
Yesterday was Rob and mine 20th Anniversary...yeah, 20 years, 20 long fricking years....and guess what??? We were doing almost the same thing 20 years ago...The place were were living was going to re-do our kitchen and we had to move everything out of there and pack the truck to go to Canada.....
I now have 5 extra people, a cat and dog all living temporarily with me, all of their worldly possessions in my front yard and thinking that if this doesn't get me in heaven, nothing will :)

Surprise 16
My youngest son, JC, turned 16 on July 29th. I planned a surprise party for him since I could not get him a car for his birthday. I ended up getting an ear ache the day 
before the party and it really sucked. My ear is still hurting but the party was a success. I am going to attempt to upload some pics from the party..
