I Miss My Jana

Jana has been gone since last Monday because of her little nephew's birth. I have to say that he is a little cutie. She sent me a picture via text and it wasn't the best picture but you could tell he was a cutie. I got more pictures from her tonight. He's so small and tiny. So little bitty. Reminds me of Jackson. His birth weight is what Jackson was when he left the hospital. 5lbs 6ozs.

I can't wait for Jana to get back. It's not just because I can't eat unless she's here. haha I guess part of it's because she and I haven't spoken on the phone but twice since she's been gone. I did get a ton done today and yesterday. Okay, not so much today but yesterday. You can't tell that much was done but I sure can tell. I put up all of the diapers along the wall in the garage. I think I counted for my inventory over 70 packs I'm selling. The kids helped me updo the 2 travel sizes of shampoo that come with each of the 60 something free Sunsilk shampoos I had. So I cut the backs with sissors and the kids ripped out the travel sizes ones and took off the plastic. Mackenzie really enjoyed it and it was more like a game for Jackson. I then put them all up in a tub.

I put more of the toothpastes up and other odds and ends. Wow, there are a ton of things, I don't know if it's more than what I thought but it's certainly a lot. I think I finally have my inventory list finished. It's taken a ton of time but I think it's almost complete. Oh, and Friday night I put up all of the hair color I bought earlier this year. Oh yeah, that was fun. I kept looking at the different colors and was tempted to try it on my hair. I just didn't want to screw my hair up.

The kids and I had a pretty good weekend. I did have a little bit of an overwhelming time on Saturday but other than that things went smoothly. We went to Defuniak Springs to Walgreens and then we ate lunch at Arby's. She was so glad to eat there. She loves that place and since we don't have one in Destin or near us it's a treat for us to go there. We then went to the big Wally World. Yee Haw! Mackenzie desperately needs a new bike b/c the ones she has she has outgrown. We lifted up the seat but the handle bars are so far down. She found one that she wanted badly. I think I'll go pick it up for her later this week. It was under $35 so it's not a huge purchase.

Today I finally finished cutting other other 1/3 of the backyard. I also fixed the 2 parts that I fell off last week. When Jackson and Mackenzei both passed out I almost passed out with them. I was exhausted but I decided to work on some things around the house. And to think I've actually cooked 2 days in a row. It's a mircale.

I can't believe that Lee will be home in a week and a day. I'm excited. I can't wait.

I'm watching the show "Big Love" on HBO right now. It's a repeat but nothing else is on right now. I think this dramedy is hysterical. The thought of a Morman man having 3 wives and the whole situation is rather funny. Also the fact that Nicki, the 2nd wife, was telling the 1st wife how she was praying over her and blah blah blah and all of this spiritual stuff but when you're living in polygomy how in the world is that religious or Christian or whatever. I guess it's morman like.

I guess every religion has their own set of belief's. Each person in each different religion probably looks at people of other religions as being incorrect, etc. But each person that believes something truly believes that they are right. Ahhh... I'm running my words in circles. But I seriously know what I mean in my head. Really I do.

Jackson and Mackenzie aren't getting any better. Jackson's left eye keeps getting matted. It drains only come afternoon time or after he's been outside. I can't tell which one is the trigger. And it's only his left eye. He seems so pitiful. I'm sure his nose is raw from me cleaning it with the wipes. Mackenzie, well she isn't any better either. I really think she has severe allergies that brings on asthmatic attacks. I need to find a Dr. for her to go to this week to look into it. I know there is an allergy/asthma specialist on the street where I work. I did a CP closing for her. I need to check it out. I worry about Mackenzie and her asthma. I am now becoming concerned that Jackson is going to have bad allergies too. Brad has severe allergies. He takes a couple of different meds for them. I'm wondering if his DNA contributed to this. :-)

I'm trying to figure out this new BP med. I feel much better now that I am taking BOTH of my BP meds. I'm trying to figure out right now why my ankles are still swelling. It's nothing major at all, but since I naturally have smaller ankles I can tell if there is any swelling. I go back to the Dr. next week any way. He wants to check things out and see if he needs to put me on a total of 3 BP meds. If he does the Norvas will be combined w/ the diuretic (sp?) and then I'll take this other stuff I'm currently on too. I found that one of my BP meds is on the $4 prescription list at Target. Definitely worth getting it there. I paid $10 w/ my insurance. I know it's not a ton of money but that's an extra $72 a year. Yup, $72 whole dollars.

I saw that Mackenzie albuterol is also on the list. She only has 3 packets left for her breathing treatment machine. $4 ain't too bad. I was looking through the drugs they offer for $4 just for kicks and I was really glad to see some of the drugs on there. You know one of the drugs I took when I was first diagnosed w/ bipolar is on there. I didn't have insurance and I had stopped taking the meds b/c I serously didn't have the money to get the meds. I remember my dad going to Winn-Dixie and getting it filled. Apparently it's not offered in generic and for $4. I just think of how many people who don't have prescription coverage and how great it is for them to be able to pay such a small sum for their meds. I know even with insurance it's helps out. So anyone who is on any of the $4 drugs and doesn't take them b/c they say they don't have insurance or something else stupid is just plain dumb. Okay, there was my .02.

I'm debtaing on whether or not I should fix me a bowl of Moose Tracks. I'm thinking it's soooo good but I don't know if I have the energy to get up and do it. Am I really that motivated to fix it and pack in 2000 calories? Probably not. The longer I wait to get it the less likely it is for me to eat some. It's just my treat to myself.

Okay, I'm not. I'm just going to publish this post and crash. good night. good morning.
