Busy week. Sorry I haven't posted. Dr. Blaha has been gone all week, and I've taken advantage of getting as much done in the office as I could. She's not coming back until Tuesday, so the quiet in the office is great for getting things accomplished. By the time I've gotten home and taken care of the dogs and things around here, I'm too pooped to pop. I didn't go to work today... for some reason, after doing some Saturday errands, I was just way to tired to concentrate. But, thankfully, I was able to grab an hour nap and feel much better now.

My blood pressure, I think, has been better. I've changed the times I take my pills, and so far so good.

Mike has been leaking so much lately. Poor guy... we go through more diapers in one day now than we did two (or sometimes three). Yesterday when I went to clean him, I saw he was really red and raw down there. It really must hurt him. I gave him a bath to make sure he's really good and clean and then loaded him with Neosporin and baby powder. It looks much better today, but I know it can't be very comfortable.

Gidget is still a little gidget. She's getting much better in the "peeing" department (shhhh.. don't wanna say that too loud). Now, if I could only get her to stop barking so much outside.... she'd be "almost" the perfect little girl. You would have fallen over laughing this morning if you had walked in my house. From the front door, all the way to the laundry room, were different articles of clothing. I mean she actually made a trail. I'd pick them up and put them back, and she made herself nice and busy doing it all over again. Normally, I'd pick them up and put them up on top of the washer where she can't reach them, but... it was nice and quiet in here while she was so busy, sooooooo.. I just let her enjoy herself.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten to any IMOM threads for awhile. I promise to get there soon. I'd get to them tonight, but believe it or not.. I'm going on a hayride and a bonfire in a little while and have to get ready. Haven't done anything like that in years. Should be fun.

I pray everyone is having a wonderful and healthy weekend. Take care and God Bless.

Love & Blessings

Hi Joanna,

It seems like you haven't posted here in a while either. Boy you must really be busy! What a change, huh? Before you had the car you were stuck at home and now look at you. Seems like God has been blessing us both!

I'm glad Mikey is still hanging in there. boy, what a trooper he is! I saw a dog at the dog park yesterday that looked just like him and I was thinking about him. I hope they both don't mind you being away from home so much. At least they have each other, right?

Okay, well I'll have to check back and see if you've updated this blog.

Give the little ones kisses for me.

Love ya!
Alex

Ok Joanna, didn't u used to be a nurse??? Well even if u were or weren't--don't u play 'nurse' on urself-cuz u ain't doing a very good job of it. You know as well as I do that u could easily have 'stroked out' with a BP that high. You said more then a week ago that u had a call in to ur doc. So...u are going in for BP checks and just not telling us--right?? I said RIGHT????? PLease tell me u have talked with the doc! Home testing machines are great-but when u have symptoms and the scare-u need to get to the doc and take care of urself. ASAP!
Hugs, Cindy, Tucker and Justice
I guess u need a refresher course--High blood pressure is a SILENT killer. By the time u are having symptoms like u were, u are in serious danger of having a stroke. You were damn lucky--and so was Mike and Gidget. They may have lost or had an incapacitated mom.
It's wonderful u are going to see the kids in Missouri at Thankgiving...but I sincerely hope u have touched base with ur doc and stopped in and let the nurse do a BP check before u travel. U want to have fun don't u??? U want to be healthy in Missouri and come home healthy don't u???
So PROVE IT!! Stop in at ur docs and have the nurse check ur BP. Don't wait in case u need to do some changes on ur meds-then u will be used to changes before the trip.
Sermon over---FOR NOW!
hugs to u and the kids! U know the sermon was only becuz i care...plus I am in a mood. LOL. But I AM right!!
