Been a while... sorry?

Ugh. So, sorry it's been a while. No phone, no internet, etc... Bah for excuses.

Been sick. Hopefully, after my thyroid scan I'll be able to get some stuff sorted out. My hair is falling out, gaining and losing weight at odd intervals, etc... Don't wanna bore you.

*sigh* Being depressed is bad enough. Being seriously ill on top of that... it's enough to make you wanna kill your self. Trust me.

I know.

Occasional and sporadic.

We are now moved into the other house. :) Hooray for that!

In other news: We have no cable, internet or phones over there, so until we have steady income coming in, we are checking that stuff once a day at mom's. Sorry to be infrequent with my postings, but gotta do what I gotta do with what time I have. :)

In other news: I'm a stay at home mommy and I'm enjoying it. Am going to see if Picture Me studios needs an assistant manager or something. I have a degree, so I can ask for a higher position than gopher and such.

WIN.

If they are hiring that is...

In other news: May see if Pot State wants someone with an actual degree to teach the photography class rather than an insurance salesman who's hobby is Photo.

Family stays

Had a GREAT day today. Carved a pumpkin with my nieces and my nephew. Ethan is 3, Lily is 6 and Lizzy will be 9 in 2 days. I can't believe how big those kids are getting! We had a blast, I got to hang out with my sister-in- law and my brother. They got to meet Vinny.

Was great weather wise. The weekend after next I'm going to their house to visit them.

This is why I came back. I love my family.

Life is good sometimes... I just wish it were better more often. :)

My tastes are different and I have my own opinons... duh.

People often ask me why I hated the movie "The Dark Knight".

Well, part of it may be because it was hyped up soooo much and to me, didn't deliver. The Joker, while he was an interesting character, and Heath Ledger did an OK job, wasn't that amazing to me.

I personally enjoyed many other movies more so. When I go to a movie, I want to be entertained, enjoy the experience and understand the plot.

TDK dragged on a bit too long in the middle, got repeatative with the over abundance of explosions and such, and was a bit lacking overall.

Continuity with the whole "Replace Katie Holmes with Maggie Gyllanhal" thing was a bit distracting also.

I also didn't enjoy other movies, but loved some underdog movies.

Screw everyone. Big Fish was awesome. Mamma Mia was uplifting. Jennifer's Body was great.

Don't expect amazing epicness and oscars for movies such as "Transformers" when it is a movie based upon a TOY. A PLASTIC ROBOT AND 1980's CARTOON.

I like the Transformer movies. THey were pretty good all thing considering.

Get over it uber movie snobs. In the end, as much as you may hate a movie, love a movie, etc... the actors, directors, and everyone else involved *except the gaffer* all MAKE MORE MONEY THEN YOU DO. When you make your own movie, then you can have an impactful opinon.

Until then, don't knock me because I hated TDK. Don't even laugh at me because I watch Fiddler on the Roof and Mamma Mia obssesively. Leave me a lone and let me sing.

Coffee and TV... more than just a Blur song.

Every morning my routine is the same.

Wake up, pee, feed baby while Lenny makes coffee. Drink coffee, watch VH1 Jump Start to hear some music. Burp baby, and then... play time with him.

Usually I have some calls for Dave to make and I make them as Vinny is laying on his hippo mat or in his bouncy seat. After I call and eat some food, it is usually time for him to feed again. After a second round of boobies for the child, a second cup of coffee for me... it is time to check my facebook and e-mail.

My life is getting predictable. I can't wait until we are in the house and start our own new routine and get our lives going.

Mom and I may go see Where the Wild Things Are on Friday. Maybe with Zach and Lexi if they wanna go. Today Lexi is 8 years old. WHERE DID TIME GO? I remember when she was born! I held her as a baby! Now here I am... older, with a baby of my own.

*sigh* I keep getting older and my memories do too.

In other news: Someone told me yesterday to approach Pot State about teaching a photo class there. The guy who is teaching just does photo as a hobby. I have a degree. He is an insurance salesman. *sigh* Maybe I have a shot. I could teach that art history class also. And intro to art or art appreciation also. Going to fire off an e-mail to the college this week.

I should be able too-- I have a BFA and they only off AA degrees there... and one or two BA's. I would be more educated in the field then I am teaching. (In other words, shouldn't need a MFA to teach an AA program level)

Til later,

Jon Gosselin's a douche... so cut him out of me.

Seriously, he really is. I don't feel like getting into it, because everyone knows he is.

IN OTHER NEWS:

I have to go to a surgeon on Wednesday. Dr. Schroeder was the doctor who removed my dad's tumor and did his IV port for his chemo. My dad is alive today thanks to Dr. Schroeder.

This all started in August, right after I had Vinny. Right around the time of my first checkup I started having these bad stomach pains. At first I thought it was my "female parts", but it is my stomach. Above my stomach, above my belly button. It feels like a knife is stabbing me in the gut. I also have been having... sorry if TMI... loose stools and bloating. Bad gas, and horrible headaches also.

Sorry if that's TMI... but I need to get this fixed. I went to the ER here at Potomac Valley Hospital... what a joke. The Dr. told me it could be my gallbladder. Had an ultrasound done and everything was normal. Had bloodwork done in the ER... came back normal.

I am going to Dr. Schroeder because there has to be something going on with me. There has to be some explanation as to WHY I am in such constant, daily pain. I can't live like this. I can't take care of my son, finish my home, eat or even sleep while in such pain.

I am getting so stressed out right now. I just can't live like this.

Tomorrow I'm getting fitted for a night guard also. Why? Because I am sto stressed I grind my teeth unconsciously in my sleep.

I hope this scan, a HIDA scan that they want to do on me, figures out what is up with me.

I'm on anti-naseua medication, hydrocodone for pain but I'm still not well. The other night, I had to take a darvocet that my dad had.

That knocked me out, but I feel horrible taking them because when I do, Vinny has to be on formula, unless I've pumped.

My poor kid... he needs a mom who's at 100%... not one who's in pain and just floating by like a zombie everyday.

Please pray for me guys. This could be anything from a simple *ha* gallbladder issue, diabetes, or even cancer.

Please pray it's just indigestion.

3 months of indigestion.

Ted Bundy covered in green paint.

Got most of the living room DONE today! The trim needs a second coat, but other than that. BINGO... we have a painted living room, hallway and bedroom in the new house. :) Feels good to almost be done and moved in.

Watching a Ted Bundy movie... and let me tell you, for as much research as I have done on serial killers, actually watching a movie about one, one that shows the actual crimes... that really brings it all into a whole new light.

Baby was good today, tomorrow we are going to have him all day and try to work on the house also. My mom watched him all day today and took good care of him.

:) Overall, was a good day.
