My thoughts always go to 2001 and all of the families that lost love ones when I write Sept 11. It also makes one think of the families that are still losing love ones. Thank you to all of the men and women that fight for our country everyday. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of them.

Sept 10, 2012
I was late to work today. That's how my day started. Ever since I had the surgery done my legs have been driving me crazy! I have spasaticity (sp?) and it mainly hits me in my legs. It drives me nuts!!! I can't sit still, I can't get comfortable, I have to flex my toes, ankles and legs all the time! It's like they are trying to jump out of my skin! So now they are bothering me every night. Which means I don't sleep.
I need to learn to be more productive. If I am going to be awake anuways, I should clean my kitchen, do some laundry, or whatever else needs to be done. I am sitting here bouncing my legs up and down. Otherwise I will go crazy!!
Tomorrow nite I am starting a walking regimen. I am not losing weight fast enough! Wednesday it will be 6 weeks since my surgery so now I can do more. My doc wanted me to wait 6 weeks because of my MS. So now I can workout and not worry.
My goal is to start running eventually. I need to find a cheap treadmill so I can walk/run in the house in the winter. If anybody knows someone that has one for sale, please let m know. I really need it. Then after football is over, T and I are going to start working out. I am hoping to get Tay involved too.
Tomorrow night my new favorite show is on Chicago Trauma (10 pm Tues @natgeo). I watched the first nite of the show and it's great! The first show had a guy that was just left on a gurney. When the nurse got him to the trauma ER room they started doing CPR. The trauma doc had them crack open his chest and try massaging his heart. That is when they found out that he had been stabbed in the upper thigh and had bled out. They brought him back to life! He had almost NO blood in his heart and they brought him back! It's a great show.
I still need to find a home for Bailey the dog, George the Cat, Bella the cat nd Georgia the cat. I still have to many animals! I love them all but they have to go! If anyone knows someone who would like any of them, please give them my number, 635.8140

Another weekend over. I actually didn't sleep all weekend, just today! Terrance and I hit a couple garage sales yesterday afternoon. We didn't go until late so didn't get much but it was fun. We ran into the Avon lady's garage sale. She lives over by the Middle school and we used to go to her sale every year with my Grandma. We had to go, it reminded me of her. I miss her. We used to share Nora Roberts books. When she passed away my uncle got everything and he just threw stuff away. I wished I had gotten her books. We shared a love of reading. Everyone knows I have a collection of books and then I am keeping them so I can have a library one day.
My father had a very hard week last week. He was feeling very sick from all of the stuff they have been putting in his body because of the cancer. It was a hard week for my mother too. Thankfully he is feeling better now so he has decided to go back to radiation on Monday. Thank you Lord!! On Friday he had decided to give up and given in because he felt so bad. I am so glad that he feels better and changed his mind!
Well I know this is short, but you guys are getting used to them being short now! Have a great week and a great tomorrow!

I'm trying to type this to get my mind off my legs and my left arm/hand. My stupid spacitisity from the MS is kicking my ass right now. I know sometimes it looks funny when it makes me bouncy but it really does hurt! It drives me crazy. When it takes so long to stop, even when I took my pills! I have to keep kicking them or moving them or walking around. My arm keeps jerking out to the left. It's awful!
I just wish it would stop. I hate crying. It makes the dog stare at me and want to get on my lap. My cat Jonesy is pretty used to it. I can sit here bouncing my leg for an hour and he will still sit on my lap.
I watched the best show last nite, Chicago Trauma on NatGeo. It is on Tuesday nites at 10. Everyone should watch it. I like it because its real people, real patients, real doctors. It is set in the hospital in Cook County, Chicago. They said they had more people that died fromviolence in Cook County last year than peple that died in Afganistan! That's crazy!
In last nites episode they find a stabbing victim that was just left on a gurney by his friends. When they start CPR the trauma surgeon says did we ever have vitals? When he hears No, they crack the patients chest with the rib spreader and find out that he has almost NO blood in his heart! He has them keep giving the patient blood and you literally watch his heart start pumping again! It's crazy!
You have to watch it! It's great!
Ok seriously, how much longer till my meds kick in? Awwwwwwwww! I hate this!
Great, now the dog has some serious gas going on! What else is gonna happen tonite??

Twenty-Eight!!
Yep. You read it right. I am down 28 pounds!! I haven't weighed this in over five years. Hell, it's probably been ten years!! How exciting! I had planned on telling you all this earliertoday. In fact I had a nice entry to my blog all typed out. Then I got up for something, my stupid left hand that pretty much does whatever it wants to, hit a button, and BOOM!! No more blog. All gone. So sad. You guys really missed out. It was some of my finest work. Witty, fun to read, even a little excitement. Oh well.
I have been lookivng at everyones first day of school pics. How cute everyone is. I haven't taken a picture of T on the first day of school in years. Does that make me a bad parent?? He's been so self-sufficient for so long that most of the time I don't think he needs me at all! He will be 16 on Christmas! My how time flies. My Tay will be 20 in January! That means that it has been almost 16 years that I have been a single mom! Wow!
You know when your kids were little and people would tell you "Enjoy it now. It flies by" but you never really belived that. Especially not on bad days when they are driving you up a wall and you would wish for it to fly by. Well now is when that comes back to bite you in the ass!
I have had a really crappy feeling day today. I think I am dehydrated from sleeping so much this weekend. Plus I haven't ate enough protein in the last three days. So I was very sick to my stomach this morning. I try to eat enough but it's not easy. You reallyget tired of shakes, yogurt and soup! I got to add mashed potatoes and cottage cheese but you get sick of that too. Oh well, just a few more weeks and then I can start adding a few more foods.
Time for me to find something to watch on tv. I cooked T suuper (2 days in a row!), finished Tays laundry, and fed the animals. Time for rest now. Catch ya on the flip side.

Twenty-Eight!
That's right. You read it right. Twenty- Eight! I am now 28 pounds lighter! I haven't been this weight in at least 5 years, hell it's probably more like 10 years!
I am once again watching one of my favorite movies, Jurassic Park. It doesn't matter how many times I see it. I love it! If your older kids haven't seen it, they should. Great movie. Of course it's not as good as Aliens. I think I have seen that movie a few hundred times. T and Tay are sick of it. They hate when I wanna watch it again. LOL
I can't believe its time for the kids to go back to school already. How time flies when you do nothing all summer!! Oh well, another summer gone by. Maybe next year we will be able to do something.
Well it's time to go back to my movie. Night all and have a great day tomorrow!

Labor Day Weekend
Well, as usual, I had an uneventful weekend of sleeping. I will be glad when my energy level goes up. It sucks being so damn tired all of the time. If I don't take my "stay awake" pill, I'm falling asleep. I get so sleepy all day long. Today my sons girlfriend is coming over to watch movies. I want to stay awake and do some cleaning, but I am barely able to type this without passing out. That is whyI don't type on the weekends.
I have decided that two days of sleep is enough!! I hate taking my stay awake pills on the weekend cause I need to get caught up on my sleep. But something has to give pretty soon! I can't sleep every weekend! I have been for the last year or two!
I have hope that once I get skinny I won't need to sleep so much. I want my life back. We couldn't afford to go on vacations but we used to at least go to St Ignace to the dunes to go swimming once in awhile. We haven't done that in years. So sad that my kids never got to go places and do things that other kids got to do. I have always worked and did the best I could, but it was never enough for them to get to do the fun things other families do.
I hope that they will get to do things like that as adults. I think I have given them both good work ethics so they will be able to get what they want in life.
Okay no more boo hooing allowed! I need to eat something and do some cleaning. Have a great day everyone.
