I want to feel better

So today I e-mailed my doctor about the fact that since I can remember I have always been tired. I have always tried to get enough sleep, and eat right, and try and not sit on my butt all day long. But I'm sick of it. I want to be able to keep up with my kids, and right now I feel that I can't and it's not fair to them. I want to take them to the park, and play with them and not just want to sleep all the time. It seems like no matter what I do I can't stay awake during the day with out a nap. I have had my thyroid check ever year since I know that that problem runs in the family, so it was checked not too long ago. So now I have to wait and hear from the doctor, I hope I hear from them soon. I want to feel better.

Swagbucks

So a good friend of mine turned me onto this website called Swagbucks.com they pretty much pay you to surf the web like you normally would. The search engines are run through Google and Ask, so you will get the same links you normally would if you searched through Google. Only Google does not pay you to search there website, Swagbucks does. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who are thinking that it's a scam but really it's not. You don't get junk mail from them, if you don't sign up for the newsletter, and you should you get free Swagbucks that way, then you don't even get any mail from them at all. I have not gotten any spam from signing up with them at all. I almost have enough Swagbucks to get some money into my paypal account. Yes you need 70 SB (swagbucks) for 5 dollars for paypal, but hello it's free money. You did not have to do anything to earn that 5 bucks. All you had to do was search the internet as you normally would on any other given day and you get paid to do so. You can get all sorts of prizes from SB, you can turn in things and get more SB as well. It's something you should at least look at and check it out. http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/plsargent

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

So I just got done reading a book called "Twenties Girl". I thought it was a really good book, a little hard at first for me to get into it, but once I did I was hooked and could not put it down. The main character is visited, well most harassed by her great dead aunt, her aunt wants her to find some necklace for her. It's a great little mystery with a love twist thrown in with it. If you like love stories that are not overly sappy, with a mystery and some good old family drama tied in then this is the book for you. "Twenties Girl" is by Sophie Kinsella. Very well written, I would highly recommend this book to be put on your "need to read" list.

No Money=Deep cleaning

So after paying the bills today, since today was payday, we now have no money. But I look at it as a good thing. I look at it as God's way of telling me to stay home and get some things done around here. I need to do a deep clean on the downstairs, and get some laundry done. I need to go through stuff and get rid of things that we don't need or use anymore, and who knows maybe we can find some things to sell and then we will have a little extra money. But I'm not holding my breath on that one. :) So today I will keep working on the laundry, and make a list of things I want to get done in the next week. So wish me luck!

Get rid of the junk

So I have been thinking and watching Wife Swap. Well the one that is on today is about a woman who organizes everything, and I do mean everything. It got me thinking that I need to clean out the down stairs, and go through stuff that we don't use anymore. We live in a cramped space and we should make it more like our home down there. Who knows maybe we can even have a little garage sale or something. So now I just need to get Pat on board with it, that will make things much easier if he helps out. I know that I have a lot of clothes that I don't wear anymore that I can get rid of, and I'm sure I need to go through the kids clothes to see if there are some that don't fit them anymore. So I almost have my plan all ready to go, now I just have to put it into action. That will be the hard part since I'm a lazy person and I know that about myself. That is one thing I'm going to work really hard on changing about myself. I need to keep things picked up better for me and for my family. It's not fair to them that I'm a stay at home mom and the house is still a mess most of the time. So pray for me that I can get my tooshie into gear. I did find a good web site for helping people get organized http://notebook.organizedhome.com/ so I hope this helps some people out.

Back in the saddle

So this last weekend I went for a ride on my horse for the first time in almost a year. The last time I went for a ride my back and my knees where hurting me so bad, I had a hard time walking for almost a week. Well this time was different. Yes I was sore the next day, but only in my back. And by the third day I felt fine. So I'm going to try and go for another ride this week, or this weekend. I really hope I can start riding again, I miss it a lot. I'm sure my horse does not since she was all fat and happy in the pasture eating, sleeping, and pooping. But she will just have to get over it I guess. Also our good friend Ross Adams, was out and he is riding and breaking our five year old horse. He did awesome. Both rider and horse. This was Rhythms first real ride, Ross had gotten on his back a few days before the ride for about five minuets and that was it. He did not try to throw him off or anything. I can't wait to ride again.

Preschool

So today Ross had an interview for a preschool in town. They wanted to meet him since he will not be three by the first of September. Well after meeting with the teacher she thought he was ready. So Ross will be starting preschool next month. He keeps asking if he can go to school tomorrow. He is so excited about going to school. We went out tonight and got him his first backpack. He likes the ones with wheels on them so that is what he got. I'm waiting for his supply list and then we will go get those as well. My little baby boy is growing up to fast. Yet I know that preschool will be so good for him. He needs to be challenged, and have time to interact with other kids his own age. He will be going two times a week for two and a half hours each day that he goes. Plus it will be nice to get some alone time to spend with Peyton, and I know I could sure use the break once in a while from chasing both kids around all day. I'm happy and sad all at the same time with him going to school.

New Truck

So this last weekend Pat and I traded in our excursion for an F350. We got such a good deal on this truck, I have never been anywhere where they wanted my car so bad. They were not going to let us leave with our excursion. I will try and post a picture of the truck in the next few days.

Screw you DHS

So today my Mom had a meeting with DHS about my Grandma. It was time to renew my Grandmas paperwork. Well since the last meeting she has been put on some memory medication, this medicine has been a such a blessing. My Grandma was seeing my dead Grandpa, and supposedly he had a pregnant girlfriend and a few other things going on with him as well. Like I said he is dead. Well since being put on this new medication she no longer see's my Grandpa and realizes that he is passed away and up in heaven with God. We can actually have a conversation with her and it will make sense now. She is very happy with where she is living right now, in an assisted living place where they administer her medication to her, so she does not miss a does or abuse it either. She is very happy there and doing great. She is involved in groups and activities and has even made some friends as well. This place has been very good for her. So to get to my point about hatting DHS. So my Mom was informed in this meeting today that since my Grandma is now coherent and can take better care of herself, because of this new medication, that she is no longer qualifies for there services. Um HELLO PEOPLE! If you make her move and don't help take care of her, she will not be taking her medication right and will no longer be coherent. What is wrong with the system today. We already have three generations living under one roof at our house. If they don't take care of my Grandma I don't know who will. We can not afford to keep her where she is with out state assistance. Yes we could move her into our already crowed house and make it even more crowed. Yes we would do that, no we are not going to just dump her on the street. But we have enough stress as a family right now to deal with, and then adding this on top of it just makes everything worse right now. What is wrong with our systems right now. I thought they were suppose to help us, and help take care of us as we get older. Is that not why we pay into social security for our whole working lives. I'm so mad right now I just want to scream. Mad at DHS for doing this to my Grandma, mad that my mom has to add one more thing to her stress level that is already sky high. I know God says that everything happens for a reason, and that we need to trust in Him, and I do. I just wish that he would give me a little clue as to why this is all happening at once. I know it does not work that way and sometimes it will take a while to see why things happen. I just have to keep praying and trusting in Him. Knowing that it will all work out in the end.

Musical Cars

So today my Mom is going to trade in two of their cars for one truck. This will lower their car payments by a lot. One of the trucks that she is trading in is already paid off, the other is not. So Pat and I will be going with her since she can't drive two cars at once. So this should make for a fun day. Car shopping with my Mom, ugh, and the fact that we have Peyton to drag along with us should make it all the more fun for all of us. So much for going to the lake today.
