Looks like I might be on the road to recovery now... I called my doc and had him call me in a zpack for this crazy "whatever it is" that I have. I've not been this sick in years! The cough late at night is enough to make me insane. I think I've pulled a muscle in my stomach and broken a rib from coughing so much! eek...
I got my new glasses in the mail yesterday too... I got a pair of those progressive lens bifocals and wow! how long does it take to get used to these things???? I'm not sure if they're not prescribed right or if I just have to retrain my eyes to see through them. I can read print better, but its like I have to really focus my eyes on the print or its blurry. hmmm.... well I'll give it a few days to see what happens.
Short school week. Yeah!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Why do I always manage to get sick this time of year? Went to the doctor today and he says it's just that time of year when everyone comes down with something. Of course, no meds were prescribed... hmpf. I was really hoping for a z pack or something to help it go away faster :-) All I got was a recommendation for mucinex.
On the bright side, we talked about the prescription he gave me a month ago for the fibromyalgia. It has really seemed to help. Soooo... he was kind enough to give me a 3 month supply and then I'll go back and see if things are still working well with it.
anyway, I stand here looking out the window watching the snow blow sideways. I don't like that direction. It's ok if the snow has really big flakes that fall gently on the ground and then melt immediately. But when you have snow flying sideways, that means there's wind too, and cold, and well, I've had enough of it already. I just know it's going to be a looonnnggg winter :-(

For those of you that make coffee at home...
Acme's ad has a Proctor Silex 12 cup coffee maker for only $7.99 (save $7.00 with your Acme card). Good through Friday Nov 21st. You just never know when the coffee maker you have on your kitchen counter will decide to just up and quit (like my $99.99 coffee maker did after a year). Makes sense to get one just to have on hand in case you go through caffeine withdrawal :-)
Also makes a good gift for someone who needs one!!

well... before the month of November slips away from me, I'd better write something on this blog. I can't believe how little I've been able to keep up on this. I was doing so well before!
...Before two more household members, anyway! I used to feel sorry for moms that had 6 kids. I used to think "wow! they must be insane to want that many kids today!" well, here I find myself in that very same situation (well, actually if you count the ones that don't live here, we're up to 8!).
I must be insane, too! But, I'm finding it's a good insane. I'm so busy that most days I don't even get to sit down for 5 minutes at a time. I straighten up one room and three others get messed up (and that's usually from just Makayla!!) Then, the babies need to eat, or get changed, or lay down for nap, or want to play :-). Not to mention the multitude of appointments I have to take the kids to; like doctors, dentists, visitation, wic appointments, counseling, etc. Why were there only 24 hours put in a day?! I could use just a few more.
----------------------------
I do have a praise to share. About two weeks before we got the new placement from CSB, I had finally made a doctor appointment for myself. I was soooooo tired of not feeling good and hurting all over and not sleeping at night. I wasn't very happy with the doc that I'd been seeing for the past, um, lot of years. So, I looked up a new guy on our insurance plan. He diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and prescribed a medicine for me.
I had been taking that medicine for almost two weeks when we got the new placement and believe it or not, I've not felt so good in a very long time. I believe that God's hand was in my finally deciding to see the doctor and in which doctor I went to see. I believe that God can heal this problem, but if he chooses not to, I believe that he provides us with comfort through the wisdom he gives to doctors.
Well, it's going to be another busy day. So I'll just leave on this note: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." I am so thankful for the strength he gives each day.
Enjoy!
