What a gift

Lately I have been having really bad pains in my stomach. At first I thought It was just something I ate. But after a week of my stomach still hurting in the same spot and not being able to handle it. I had Vaughn take me to the urgent Care on Cortaro and Silverbell. to get it checked out. They did blood work and some other tests, to see if maybe I had a U.T.I. but all the tests came back normal. They explained to me that because it's a abdominal problem they are going to have to refer me to the E.R.

Long story short I went to N.W. Medical Center.They did some more tests gave me some Milk of Magnesia and some Morphine, and made me wait for an hour or so. When the doctor came back he told me all the blood work was fine and had me point to where the pain was. Then he so kindly started pushing in that area( I guess to see how funny I look when I'm in pain. he diagnosed me with an ulcer and gave me some Ranitidine and Viciden for the pain.

Wow do I know how to give myself a Christmas present or what? Maybe next year I can outdo myself, stay tuned to find out.

Cody's baptism

I will never forget Saturday December 19th for as long as I live. Our oldest son Cody was baptized and Vaughn, Grammy, and I got to go. It was amazing to witness my little boy turning into a fine young man. His baptism was in Sahuarita were he and his brother now live with their new Mom and Dad. We were just very blessed to be a part of Cody's special day, and Cody was more than pleased to see us there. So was our little man Zachary.

Have tons of pictures to go threw and figure out which are the best to post in my next blog, but for now I am tired and need to go to bed. I will post more later with pictures of the baptism.

Here's your sign

Okay I know that I am a big girl, and that I could stand to loose a good 30-40 ounds or more.

But when I have 2 people in less than a week and a half come up to me and ask me What I'm having and when I am due. I know there's a really bad problem. Especially considering we have two girls at work that are both 5 months along with somewhat big belly's.

So I have made a promise to myself that I am going to start eating better and tryibng hard to lay off the sweets.

Wish me luck!

Proud of myself

Today is my oldest son Cody's birthday. And although it is tough to not see him on his birthday I have to say that I did pretty well today. I only cried 3 times through out my whole shift at work. Which is truly amazing.

Cody,

I really hope you are having a great day and got lots of presents. We'll see you on Saturday when you get baptized.

Love,
Mom

And the Moral of the story is...

Okay so the last couple days I have not been sleeping very well. So needless to say when I go to work I am tired and cranky. Well last night I finally got tired of being up until 3 am for the 4th day in a row, so around 2am, I took a sleeping pill that my doctor prescribed to me a while back to help me sleep .

BIG MISTAKE! By the time the pill finally kicked in I was out like a light. I ended up sleeping from around 2:30am until almost 3pm. Not good considering I was supposed to be at work at 9:30am.

I called my manager and she explained to me that this is the kind of thing that could get me fired from other jobs, but not from this one since this is a training facility to help me do better in other jobs. I explained to her that I'm very aware of that and thanked her for not terminating me.

The moral of the story this time: Never again am I taking something to help me sleep. Next time I will just have to suck it up

Seriously??

So I'm at work and it's already 7pm. the time we close. A lady walks in to the store and I tell her ma'am I'm sorry but were closed. She says she only wants to get one thing and it will be really quick. Again I tell her sorry but we are closed and need to get everyone out of the store now so that we can clean up and go home on time.

To this she replies: " It's because I'm Jewish, that's why you won't let me get the item."

I reply " It has NOTHING to do with your religion, it's just time for us to close."

Seriously? How the heck am I supposed to know that she is Jewish? And even if I did it has nothing to do with what religion she is. Some people really don't make any sense to me.
