The Bug

I'm talkin about the stomach bug :( It has attacked our house and we're not happy about it! NOTICE the time of my post.

It all started with Jacob at 3 o'clock. I picked him up from school and he was still napping. I woke him up and within a few minutes he had puked. By 6pm he had puked a dozen times. He wasn't able to keep anything down.... nada! He puked up until we put him in bed around 10ish. Matthew was sleeping with him.

Darcy was in the bed with me. She woke up puking.... like P U K I N G!!!!! She wasn't even fully awake. The matress is soaked... I got her bathed and now she's on the couch. So far its only once for her.

No other symptoms. No fever... just puke.

I have a biology practical today and I really need to be at class. Matthew had already agreed to stay home with Jacob but I'm not sure how I feel about leaving him here with 2 sick kids.

Moving right along

I've been really busy lately with school. My A&P class (human anatomy and physiology) has been kicking my tail. Its one of those classes that you HAVE to study every day. I've been spending a lot of hours at school with my lab partner. We studied for 3 hours the other night... luckily it paid off - for me anyways. I had a quiz yesterday and I only missed 1. Whitney, on the other hand, blanked on the test and didn't do so well. It was so hard to watch her freak. I knew that she knew this but she froze. Some people just don't take test well. We have some sort of test every week... we have quizes, exams and practicals. Quizes are worth 10 points but they cover a lot of information. You almost feel cheated b/c of the amount of stuff you actually have to study but then a very small part of it is on the quiz. Yesterdays quiz was the bones of the skull and they axial skeleton. Exams are big... they're worth 100 points and they're pretty hard. They are scantron. Exams are the only test thats multiple choice but its still pretty hard. Practicals are rough. They're worth 50pts. Its basically a test that is set up around the room at different stations.

My online math class is alright. My other online class was very structured and I thought that I hated it but now I realize I liked it. My math class is a go at your own pace kinda thing and I forgot about it. I'm not disciplined enough to do it on my own. I probably won't do another online class.

Speech is good. Its a really easy class. It does require some effort so I imagine that some people might think its hard but I don't mind it. I have midterm in there tonight.

Well thats whats happening around here... whats happening in your neck for the woods???

I'm a nerd and proud of it!!!!

I got a letter today from Phi Theta Kappa inviting me to join the International Honors Society b/c of my GPA (which btw is 4.0).

SMACK

Jeremiah likes to smack when he kisses you... its very sweet :)

ITS NOT RIGHT!

Jacob is such a nut! He's really funny about his socks. I probably have to take off his socks and shoes 2x before they're like he wants them. He'll scream "its not right!" If the seam is on the side of his toe or if there's a little bump he's not a happy camper. It gets frustrating at times but it makes me smile. I want to remember this about him :)

Twitter

So after updating my facebook status, about laughing at jeremiah b/c matthew was tickling him and he jumped up and said "uh oh tee tee!" and ran to the bathroom, I got a message (maybe a hint) about twitter. I'm not really sure what twitter is all about but I have one now. So if you're dying to know my every thought and step you can follow me now. No stalkers please :)

Very discouraged

I went for my testing this morning. I wasn't prepared for the news.... just to have the test it was going to cost me $300... thats my copay. I didn't have the test done. I left in tears. I went straight from there and had to sub. I'm trying to figure something else out but I'm not sure yet.

Testing Testing 1 2 3

I went back to the doctor today for my following up appointment. I was convinced it was my gall bladder but now I'm not so sure and neither is my doctor! I took the medicine he put me on. I had no issues. But then the other night I forgot to take it 30 mins prior to eating. I ended up taking it but only waiting 15 mins. One of the reason I really thought it was my gall bladder is b/c that night I ate broccoli and its one of the foods on the list that is related to gall bladder issues. Well I had *issues* about 30 mins after I ate. I just knew it was my gall bladder but then I couldn't decide if HAD I taken the medicine like instructed if I would have had the issues. The medicine I was on treats IBS aka spastic colon.

So today i tell him about what happened. We went over again where I was having pain and all the other symptoms. My pain is on my Left side... gall bladder is on the right side. He listed several things he thought it could be... I didn't catch many of the names... other than him saying again that it could be IBS or dumping syndrome. He said he wanted to run the test to rule out gall bladder. So I'm scheduled to go tomorrow morning to have the test ran. Hopefully we'll have some answers soon!

He said if it was IBS then I'd just need medication (and take it like I'm supposed to) but I don't want to be on daily meds at my age. Guess we'll see!

My freak out

I just had a major freak out moment and called the police on my hubby! now let me explain. He left to pick up our kids an hour and half ago... he had to drive 20 mins down the road. After an hour and 5 mins had gone by I called the sitter (my dear friend Jenn) and asked how long he'd been gone (he wouldn't answer his cell phone). She told me that he hadn't gotten there yet to pick them up. At first I thought she was kidding but I quickly got this sick feeling in my tummy. I called the police (aka my dear friend Matt Staggs...more like a cousin). I explained to him what had happened and asked (or demanded) him to FIND MY HUSBAND! In the meantime I find his cell phone (he left it by mistake). I called the sitter back... still no hubby. Then I called Matt back... he said he hadn't had time yet. I scolded him and told him to send out an APD (thank God he loves me and realizes I'm crazy). Jenn beeps in and Matthew has finally arrived... he had gotten lost. Thats my husband! LOL Now I'm waiting on him to get home... hopefully he can find his way back home. God love em

This was last March... me and the boys at the doctors office (me, jeremiah and jacob)

I think I can I think I can

I HOPE I CAN!!! Yesterday my biology teacher passed out our test grades from last weeks test... I made a 50! The highest grade was a 76 and the class average was a 52. I cried. Yep I cried in class. We also took another test yesterday that I don't think I did well on. I guess I'm going to have to study harder. I can do this!

I woke up this morning and found a note from my hubby. At the bottom of the note he had a scripture for me... Phil 4:6-8 It was exactly what I needed! Go look it up!
