Better Late Than Never?

So, a little while back (September 14, 2009), a little wind blew through our neck of the woods (remnants of hurricane Ike) and a tree branch fell on our roof.
Today, almost a year later, I finally got the monster off of there. By monster I mean that what was still on our roof was 22 foot long and about 2 foot across. This was after taking off as much as I felt comfortable doing by myself which included another section that was about 6.5 foot long by 1.5 foot across. That limb fell DOWN on TOP of our two-story home! Yeah, as one of the less-than-professional "Tree Care Specialists" stated when giving us a quote, "That's one big-ash tree!"
So, better late than never. Now, to get the roof repaired...

Moms Aren't Supposed to ...Part II

Jon and I have pondered whether or not I have sleep apnea for a few years. One night last week I really gave Jon a scare. He kept having to wake me up so I would start breathing again. So, he told me to set up an appointment with our family doctor and I did. I REALLY don't like going to the doctor. I usually just deal with whatever is bothering me and/or try home or OTC remedies.

Thursday evening at our Life Group meeting we asked our group to pray for the appointment to go well. It did.

My mom took the children with her to visit relatives who were in from GA on Friday. That way, Jon could go to the appointment with me.

So, here are the results of that appointment:

1. I'm on antibiotics for ten days for my sinus infection.

2. I'm now taking allergy medicine (nose spray).

3. I have an appointment in August for a consultation with a Dr. for a sleep study.


The allergy medicine makes my headaches worse. I couldn't even sleep Friday night, because my headache was so bad. If the headaches don't start improving I'll have to call the Dr. I already have a terrible time with several different types of headache and I don't need another type. The information with the medicine actually says to call my doctor if I get a headache from it, but since it's the weekend I can't. My symptoms have gotten worse since I started taking the medicine, but apparently that's normal for the first few days.

Hopefully, I'll be on the mend soon.

Have a great day everyone!

Moms Aren't Supposed to Get Sick, Right? or I Think

I think I've been fighting this off for a while now. I've been dealing with allergies, aches, headaches, etc. just about all Spring. Now, I'm sick.

I think being busy for our week of V.B.S., which our church is now calling Kid Fest, was the final straw.

I think whatever I have is viral. (I almost decided to change the beginning of that last sentence. Then I thought, "Oh, well. It's a pattern." I seem to be doing a lot of thinking for someone who is having trouble thinking.)

I think I better cut this short and go get some more rest. Hopefully, I'll recover and feel more myself soon.
