Crazy week

So, it's Friday. THANK GOODNESS ! It's been a crazy week...I don't know if I can even begin to talk about ALL that has gone on, but I'll try.

• Higgins is MUCH better. He's running around like nothing ever happened...and come Wednesday, MY back starts killing me. It's still stiff, but managable. But Wednesday, I thought I was going to have to go to a doctor, but I managed. Yay me... : ) Tonight, me AND Higgins are chillin on the couch...

• I have made all of my pre appointments. One with the psychologists (maybe they won't find out I'm really NUTS :) and one with the nutritionists. My PCP will be back from vacation Monday and I'm going to call and get all of my pre tests done that he's got to order. I'm on my way.

• Someone came to look at the house Wednesday and seemed beyond thrilled with it...I sent them to my mortgage lender and thought that IF they got approved, it would be a done deal, but now she decides she wants to check out another, cheaper, house..she WAS approved so that's even harder on me...I tried not to get too excited about her excitement, but THAT obviously didn't work. We've lowered the price drastically to hopefully sell this house. Our new house is moving right along. Closing date is June 25th, but I think it will be before then.

• AND the builder's realtor called this week and wanted us to take the contingency off the house so they could either put it on the market or put us under contract. We couldn't do that be/c we can't afford two house payments so we had to keep the contingency on the house and they're suppose to put it on the market sometime next week. Just breaks my heart be/c this is OUR dream house. We started this thing from scratch....it's OUR design and dream home. We've put so much love, prayers and hope in this house that I just can't imagine not getting it, but we're keeping the faith. God will put us where he wants us to be..where we are SUPPOSE to be. : )

GF, come here....please...

First and foremost, "GF", I can't get to your post. What is the exact address to it? : ( Not sure what's up with that, but it's pissing me off. : )

Ok, on to the seminar. It was nice, but pretty much exactly what I've read on my Lap Band site. It DID help me finalize my decision to do this. There are some tests that my PCP has to order and that seems like about a day's worth at the hospital getting that done. But that's ok. I'll live. I called today and made my appt. with the nutritionists today so that's out of the way. Now I've just got to make an appt. with a psychiatrists. THAT should be fun. : ) Kinda scared they'll want to keep me or buy me a straight jacket... : ) Also made an appt. with the surgeon for May 22. I'm hoping, cross your fingers with me, that I'll have all my tests results by then and can actually schedule the surgery. Don't know what other hoops I'll have to jump through for this. Only time will tell, I guess.

Higgins is doing better. He's being such a trooper about taking his meds. BUT I get up today and can barely walk. Not sure if it's true pain or sympathy pain for Higgins. : ) I've taken high dose Ibuprofin and nothing. It's muscle spasms so if it's not better tomorrow, I'm going to have to see if my doc can call in a muscle relaxer. Isn't that funny that Higgy is doing better and now MY back is hurting.

We had someone look at our house today that seemed really interested. I'm SO keeping my fingers crossed. We really need to sell this place like ASAP.

Been a tough day

It's been one of those days that feel like it's been at least a 56 hour day. : )

At midnight last night, me, Darryl & Higgy are asleep ( Higgins always sleeps with us...) and all of a sudden we hear this horrible screaming/whining from Higgy. It jolted us both awake and I grabbed Higgins to see what the problem was. The more I tried to love and comfort him, the worse he seemed to cry. It was heartbreaking...

So I start crying and worrying to death over him. I didn't sleep much past that. I kept worrying about his breathing..so it was just a bad night.

I get up this morning. Darryl and I had already discussed that I'd stay home with Higgins and take him to the vet. So off we go. Come to find out, he's got a slipped disc in his back. Poor baby...He's suppose to rest for 10 days. Still not sure how I'm going to pull THAT off. He still wants to run and jump and he's not suppose to. I went and got a crate (something totally foreign to him) that he's going to have to stay in during the day. That's going to break my heart be/c he's not going to understand WHY he's in there...so fun fun... I just love the little man and can't imagine not having him around.

Still looking forward to the Lap Band seminar tomorrow night. I'm ready to get this process on the road... : )

Now I KNOW why I'm fat...

Well actually I've known this for quite a while, but I now know why I CONTINUE to be fat. One reason is I'm happy and of course, that ALWAYS causes weight gain. But the second is my HUSBAND ! ! ! We cooked out hamburgers on the grill tonight and I asked for two although I NEVER eat two...but that's not the point.

So I fix two hamburgers and put them on my plate...I wasn't even really hungry to start with...no, honestly...so I eat one and I'm beyond full and decide to just forego the second one. THEN I think about my hubby who hates to waste food. He thinks if you put it on your plate, you should eat it..and I realized I've gotten into this habit as well...without even knowing it. So I picked up the second hamburger, remember stuffed from the first one and ATE IT ! ! ! Then felt like crying. I turned to my husband and told him that I WAS NOT doing that anymore. I was not going to clear my plate to save those in Euthopia or whatever...THAT'S what's gotten me where I am...and no more.

Ok, so on to the most bestest part of my day. I noticed that Higgins was much better this morning when we got up. THANK GOODNESS...he's still a little sluggish, but nothing like yesterday. So that's good. He's been running around outside some today so that makes me feel good.

Ok, off to grab some coffee. : )

It's all about the Higgins

Little man, aka Higgins, isn't feeling well today and it's really worrying me. I can't stand to see him sick. He's only been like this once before. That turned out to be a little bug, I guess...and it lasted one day, so hopefully tomorrow, he'll be better.

Hubby left this afternoon to go to his parent's. He's such the good son. He drove his motorcycle up there, almost to Charlotte, so I worried about this all afternoon...but he got there safely...so all is well with that. So it's just been a tough afternoon all the way around.

So here I am at home catching up on my Tivo programs...and boy, there's alot. : )

So there isn't a lot to talk about today. Sorry.
