It's Raining It's Pouring!

It is such a yucky day outside today. Mackenzie's fall festival at her school has been canceled for tonight. Mom and dad drove down today to bring me my baby pictures (and let me tell you there are a ton!!!!) and they were going to go to the festival and then drive back tonight. Well, now we will just be eating dinner together instead. It is so good to see them. I have probably seen Elizabeth more than them this year. So Mackenzie and them are killing time until 5. Mackenzie is just thrilled to pieces that they came to see her. She always gets so excited when they come around.

I went to my Dr. yesterday and she's changing up my blood pressure meds and my ADD meds. She is also having me get lab work done to check my thyroid, kidney and liver functions among other things. I have to say it was quite interesting being able to put down on a Dr.'s questionnaire for the first time what my bioligical medical history is. Erica and I had a good laugh about it. I have a feeling she'll be keeping an even better eye out for me w/ my bp and craziness.

I just need to vent. I went to CVS today to use my $130 in Extracare Bucks that I had earned. With that money I was purchasing diapers. A total of 12 packages to be exact. I went up to the counter and my favorite girl was there and she called for the manager. The high dollar ECBs always have a hard time scanning and require a managers approval. The manager told me that I could not purchase that many packages of diapers and wipe their stock clean. I explained to her that I bought different brands as not to do that and she still refused me. You see my ECB's printed in 1 coupon b/c I had bought the same product in the same day. If you buy 2 different items that qualify then you'd get 2 different coupons. My problem is I couldn't break up the $130 I had to spend it all at one time. I asked the manager if the ECB's state they can be used on anything in the store that I want except for prescriptions then why would CVS not allow me to use them on what I wanted? Then I got the spill from her that she'd do it just this one time blah blah blah. She told me next time I spent my ECBs she wouldn't allow me to purchase the same item repeatedly. Fine. I'll go to my other favorite CVS. blah!

Okay, so Angie did not get induced on Wednesday. I've been meaning to update this but haven't. They ended up sending her home and putting her on bedrest because the AFI (amniotic fluid index) was not as low as they had thought. Well she started having contractions yesterday and then at 6pm they were every 5 minutes. This morning around 9:30 she went to the hospital and she is there now. Last I heard which was around 1:30 she was 6cm dialted. Little Charlie will be making his apperance very soon. I sent Bonnie off to be with her. I can't wait for this. I just love everyone having babies. It keeps me from feeling the need to have more. I think that's a woman thing. I can just watch other peoples bellies grow and see their little ones and I don't have to foot the bill for them. Sounds like a good idea.

I haven't even scratched the surface with my baby pictures but I did find a few incriminating ones. I found one I could blackmail my uncle David w/ for sure. There is also one of my cousin Neil having his arms around me in Grandmothers maroon rocking chair. I had a definite look of pain on my face. I did not want to be there. I can't wait to look are more of the pictures. I appreciate mom bringing them to me. Even though it was hard for her to let them go. You wouldn't believe the notes she put. On top of the tub was a note that if I didn't take good care of them then lightening would strike me. Then were was another in one of the books and another. Hmmm.... do you think she wants me to be careful with them? I can't really tell.
