Not Everyone's Mama

What a title huh?  Well, I broke down and went to the walk in yesterday.   Well, let’s start with what happened to my ear when I was pregnant with Alyce.  At about 11 weeks pregnant I woke up one morning and the outside of my ear was swollen.  Over the next 3 days, it got to be I’d say 3 times if not more it’s normal size.  And it HURT.  My doctor sent me to an ENT doctor who had never seen anything like it before.

They put me in the hospital and I was hooked up to IVs for a few days.  Then they sent me home with a picline for 2 weeks where I gave myself an antibiotic through that every 6 hours.  It finally went down but for awhile I had Bells Palsy – meaning I couldn’t move that side of my face.  Seriously, couldn’t put on mascara.   (Anyone else blink to put it on?  LOL  You have to be able to make yourself blink in order to blink.)  I had a half smile because I couldn’t smile on that side of my face.  That lasted for awhile, but did go away on it’s own.

Now flash forward to yesterday.  Saturday only one of my ears was plugged.  Yesterday I got up and I couldn’t hear very well.  I couldn’t hear the phone ringing, people knocking on the door, my children unless they were looking at me.  And I felt like I was screaming at everyone.  I finally said enough is enough and went to the doctor.  I’ve got a sinus infection and fluid in both ears to the point the ear drums are bulging.  Yummy!  So, I’ve got augmentin.  Took 2 yesterday and this morning I woke up and can almost hear out of one ear normally.  The right ear is still really bad, but at least I can hear my kids now.  LOL  I knew I was miserable, glad someone else concurred with me.

Saturday was a good day for the kids.  My dad called and asked if he could take Jordan fishing.  Jordan was so excited!  He’s never had grandpa call and ask that.  Maybe grandpa thinks he’s finally old enough?  They went with both of my brothers and my 7 year old niece.  Jordan was so excited because he got the most fish.   Didn’t get to keep any of them because they weren’t big enough, but he caught the most, and that’s all the matters!  I guess he threw my dad’s rod in the pond on accident too when he was casting.  ROFL  My brother Josh was able to hook it with his own rod and bring it to shore without anyone having to get wet. 

While they were doing this, my mom brought in some chicken salsa soup (I LOVE you mom! LOL) for me and we traded left overs for supper.  She supervised Katiana picking up the living room while I took an ice cold shower trying to cool off.  (Here’s a question, how come when you want to take a hot shower, the water eventually gets cooler, and when you want to take a cold shower, the water keeps warming up???)

My mom decided to take Katiana home with her and my dad had already said that Jordan could spend the night, so Alyce and I went to bed semi-early and just enjoyed the peace and quiet.  LOL  Dad took the kids to church yesterday morning.  Then he took them to McDonald’s for happy meals.  (He even brought Alyce a happy meal and a quarter pounder for myself home.) 

The kids had a blast.  I don’t think anyone was very happy to come home and be loaded into the car to take me to the doctor.  Because all 3 of them were little pills at the doctor’s office.  Especially Miss Katiana.  She spent the whole time glaring at me.  And Alyce kept trying to sneak off to the water cooler and empty their water all over the floor.  Really, it was a treat.  LOL

Changing subjects – I’m trying to plan ahead, just in case I go on bed rest like I have with my other pregnancies.  I got a cheap laptop at Christmas time because the price was so good that I couldn’t pass it up.  Now, I’m wondering how well it will work to design on.  I did install Paintshop Pro on when I got it, but I haven’t had a need to use it yet for that purpose.  I’m wondering how much more laptop memory and hard drive space I need to install to make it workable.  On my desktop I’m running on 250 GBs of hard drive and 2 GBs of memory – it’s got a duo core processor (or whatever you call it).  I know the laptop has much less.  And how hard is it to add memory and RAM to a laptop.  I’ve added them both to my old desktop and it wasn’t too hard once I figured out what to do.

Oh well, I’ve babbled on enough for today.  I need to get my mojo back, so I’m going to open PSP and see what I can come up with.

Have a great day!
