Super Tired…3 hrs of sleep just is not enough…It is all I could afford last night though…Couldn’t fall asleep last night and I had to be up early this morning…I have been yawning all day but I continued on…I had an appointment with my spine specialist…He said, I can continue with my therapy and/or have steroid injections into my back and neck…He suspects I may have a slipped disc in my neck and this is what is causing my left neck and shoulder pain…The treatment is still the same either way…Therapy and/or injections…Currently, I have been handling the pain without the use of over the counter medications or prescriptions…I am continuing to do my therapy exercises as much as I can remember…It seems to be helping even a little bit at easing the pain…I am also learning what I can and cannot do and for how long…I need to remind myself to take  frequent breaks and to not take on more than my body can physically handle…The Dr…says to call him anytime, I need to schedule another appointment but for now…It is not necessary to schedule one right now…Thank You God for teaching me to slow down even if it takes me through a physically painful process…

More painting, cleaning, dishes, laundry and everything else in my home…This seems to be taking forever to get all the painting done but then again, my hubby is the only one doing most of the work…I would not be a good painter with my tremors and how bad they have gotten lately…I do provide support, encouragement and I tell him when he misses a spot…It is coming along beautifully and my house looks absolutely great…No more boring whitey, beigey, grey color on my walls…

This reminds me of a point I have been wanting to write about…I just have been too tired or had to many other things to say…I was reminded of it last week while riding home with my hubby when he drove…I cannot stand the way he drives…I just want to kick him out of the driver’s side and take control of the van…I want to drive my way…I do not have much patience in this situation…I think he drives too slow and stops at every yellow…It frustrates me so much, sometimes I am fuming inside…I admit it, I have control issues…I want it my way and my way is always better…It is just the way it is…I cook, clean, drive, school the kids, wash, dry, fold laundry better and all the                    in-betweens…It has caused many arguments because I step on his toes when I should just back away and let him do things his way…Although, they are not my way, he usually gets the job done…I am a quick thinker, I jump on any occasion and just jump in to do something…My husband is the thinker…He will plan, replan and plan again to make sure he knows exactly what he is doing…

Me, I just want him to hurry up and start…Even though, many times, I have seen what happens when I just jump in and start something without thinking it through…The painting in the house has reminded me of my impatience…I would love to just take over and get it done quickly but there would probably be paint everywhere except the wall…I have learned to just hid somewhere else in the house because I cannot help telling him how to do it the “right way” or better known as “my way”…I have learned to always have a book or my “kindle fire (thanks dad and mom)” when we drive…If I have nothing to read, I am usually just fighting with myself to keep my mouth shut…But in the end, that is what makes me: me and my hubby me…It would be very odd if we were exactly the same…But that is my rant for the night…Thank You God for my husband and I’s differences even if they frustrate me…

I did afford the luxury of trying to take a nap…I just could not hold my eyes open any longer early in the afternoon….I had finished all the laundry and dishes and I planned leftovers for dinner so why not relax, I said to myself…Although, I was never able to fall asleep, I think I may have rested…I told the kids before I laid down…I do not want to hear a peep or you will be grounded for a week from everything…They were not loud but the constant sound of their chatter was in the air…You know that sound parents…It is like the white noise from a tv screen or the soft and creepy inaudible mumbling echos of a ghost haunting your home…This is what my kids sounded like while I was trying to sleep…I find it hard to sleep when I hear anything especially anything that comes out of my kids’ mouths…My husband on the other hand could sleep like a rock with a train barreling down at full speed right next our bed…I think that may be one of the differences of men and women…Don’t quote me on that, just my opinion though…Thank You God for even the littlest of rest you provide me with…

Yes, forgot to mention…My youngest did start his testing yesterday…Odd or amazing thing, however you want to look at…While I was in the waiting room while my son was getting tested, I got a phone call on my cell…It was the school’s psychiatrist wanting to set up a time to do their testing through the school system…Wow, we have been fighting and fighting to get my son test to see where he is diagnostically and educationally but I could have never imagined it happening within the same week…Will update more with this, when I have more info to post about it…Thank You God for coming through for us trying to get help for my baby…

My home Dr…had to reschedule my appointment for tomorrow…He had a meeting come up and he had to clear his entire day up…I am rescheduled for next Thursday…This was the appointment to talk about my MRI and blood test results…I will continue to believe that nothing dramatic is going on or I would have to be in immediately…Until, I hear anything else I will continue to believe this…

That is all…I know how much you my readers and the rest of the entire world loves to hear about my life and the life of my kids and hubby…We are so interesting and fabulous…Thank You to my followers for continue to read and bring the encouragement I need to write every day…Thank You and Welcome to my blog for those new readers who come to visit…You are appreciated too…It really feels like I am meeting new amazing friends every time someone comes and visits…
