I thought I would post this tonight as tomorrow I will be away at hubby’s family reunion. He did promise me if I was beginning to feel bad we could leave earlier than normal. So I been getting things ready. Last year I made 23 scrap layouts from pictures I took at the reunion. I am not taking any this year. I had them printed and taking them with me to show everyone.
OK I made my appointment, its Tuesday Morning (July 29th) at 10:15. My daughter is off work that day so I will go pick up one of the girls I babysit from her tutor at 9, dash home to drop her off and then head out for my test. I am going to try and wing it and not take an sedative. I think I will just close my eyes and just rest. I think they will have some music so I think I will be OK. This way hubby doesn’t have to miss work.
So for those of you who pray, I hope you can keep me in your prayers for this one!! I am quite nervous.

I am a little upset with my daughter right now. She comes home as she was all upset about work and when I suggested she keep her eye out for a new job, that she didn’t have to take that kind of crap at work (long story), not from a part time job like that, she got all on the defense. That really annoyed me. Don’t come home telling me the stuff you tell me and expect me to not get upset and suggest that maybe you should get a new job and then get all in my face about it. My head was already killing me. So I left to go for a walk up to the store as I needed deodorant and to just get away and calm down. I don’t like how she talks to me and does frankly what she feels like doing even after I ask her something. For example I am waiting on a call from the girls mom and the doctor’s office regarding my MRI/MRA’s and finalizing the scheduling. I asked her to please use her cell phone this afternoon to talk to her boyfriend or to just tell him to jump on yahoo and talk online, to not use the phone. I have a terrible headache today so I turned the a/c on to cool the house just a bit and laid down on the love seat to rest. I woke up and guess who the hell is on the phone??? My daughter. I asked her to please NOT use the phone this afternoon, I needed to keep the line open but she did what she wanted regardless. You know I am getting really annoyed with this.
Everyday she ties up my phone. We have a lot of trouble with our line as it is, and when I want to make a call I can’t. So today it was very important to me since I needed to get my MRI and MRA scheduled for her to not be on the phone and she could not even do what I asked. I don’t think I was asking for much. But I am not liking this regardless crap. She still has not even done her responsibilities around this house yet and I am tired of reminding her to do so.

My poor hubby. Last Saturday I had called the doctor because he was just miserable with his sinuses. For the past few weeks he complained a lot and I kept saying to go and see the doctor. He wouldn’t not go so I finally made him the appointment. He did have a sinus infection and prescribed him the Z Pak. Well he is frustrated that it wasn’t taking the other symptoms away and felt his nose was very dry. We have a humidifier in our room, just one we bought at Walmart, but I got to tell you that thing just sucks. I wish we could afford one of the Air O Swiss humidifiers I found online. I really think we need a good one and love how you can have either hot or a cool mist, so we would not need separate ones for the seasons you know? I worry about germs with our older one, especially when that filter was all nasty like it was. In winter, when he has the fireplace going, I really think it gets too dry out here. So I am working on hubby in maybe getting a bigger one that just might make a difference in winter for us all, especially dad with his COPD. I know the one we have now is too small of a unit and if he still is feeling that dry at night when sleeping, it is just not doing the job it needs to do. Maybe if we had a bigger one he would not feel as dry when he wakes up in the morning and feel better. I really don’t know what else to try. He said he has this funny burnt smell every morning. I wonder if its from quitting smoking??

So I decided to check out EBay this morning because there is an expansion pack out called Family Stuff, well just items for the Sims 2 I can not seem to find. No one around here has it, and I happen to check “my EBay” area to see my hubby is watching and has bid on a plasma tv mount. Now I don’t think this is something you should look on EBay first. I think we should go out and check them out to make sure we get the right one. It really depends on the brand of your television on top of it. But I am happy to see he is actually take the first step in looking, instead of just sending me out and about while he mows the grass!!

Around dinner time yesterday I sat down to pay some bills (oh that is always fun isn’t it?) and opened the bill for the newspaper. Now I pay to get the paper delivered daily for my dad, hubby and I don’t really read it, well I do occasionally peek at the employment section because I like to keep my eyes open for admin jobs, because you never know I may find one with the perfect hours, and I read the ad’s in Sunday’s paper and keep the coupons for when I grocery shop. Other than that I don’t read it. Hubby only looks at the Sunday paper. But since I am caring for my dad and his money is tight, we just pay for the paper. In May I paid through July 15th. When I opened the statement that came “late” the billing was for June 15 to August 15. Of course this raises a red flag for me as I write in the checkbook from date to date when I pay the paper and I already paid for June. So then I continue to read the statement and we now have to pay a fuel surcharge? What the hell is that? They back dated that to June (this is why my statement reads the way it does).
Now let me tell you something, the girl who does our route I know her, use to babysit for her, but when I had her child more than her, it was time to say grow up be a mom. This was about 4 years ago when I quit sitting for her. So when we moved here to our house two years ago, a few months after that she started delivering the paper. Wow small world isn’t it. Well there are “many times” we don’t get a paper and if i call her she tells me someone stole it. Oh OK, just happens to be my house all the time. But I didn’t press the issue.
Well after much thought and talking to my dad, we decided to cancel the paper. I understand the price of fuel right now but when you take what each house has to pay, we are all paying for her gas period. It’s bad enough the price of clothing, food and other necessities of life you need have gone to smaller sizes but up in price. No I can send my son on his bike to pick up a paper. NO fuel charge!
After I called and spoke to customer service to cancel delivery and pay what we owe to date, I found out my carrier has had 1000 complaints, well that tells me get a new carrier! So the representative gave us a credit then offered us just Sundays and Wednesdays paper for $1.16 a week for 12 weeks, then $1.52 after that. I agreed we try this, since winter is around the corner. BUT I don’t want it just tossed anywhere, I want it on our porch or right by the door to make it easier for my dad, since he is the early bird in the house! They agreed. I paid up through September 15th. So I will monitor the statement again next time to see, if they try and pull something again, they are so out of here!
