Wow, time sure flies!

Well, I can't believe that I haven't posted in 2 weeks! So much for a little something each day! LOL
Things have been a little crazy around here, but I'll try to get back on track.

To catch up on all that was missed these last 2 weeks...
Spent some time watching my boy at baseball practice. I can't believe that Opening Day is right around the corner.
Had an Endoscopy done on the 14th! Hubby was sweet and brought me a half gallon of the yummiest ice cream since he figured my throat would be sore from the procedure. He also bought me a beautiful necklace with a heart charm on it that says "Love".
Sunday, we went to Tampa to try and work on the bathroom at my aunt and uncles house. They currently only have a half bath on the first floor of their home, and my hubby it finishing the pool bath so that my aunt will have a shower downstairs. She is currently in the hospital, trying to stay brave and strong with the dreaded "Cancer" word hanging over her head. She's hoping to come soon, and it would be much easier with a full bath that she can use.
No School on Monday, didn't get much accomplished.
Tuesday I had a sleep study done to see if I have sleep apnea, or I am just an obnoxious snorer. Wasn't much fun to be honest. Bed was comfy enough, but the pillow wasn't, and there were so many wires and stuff, that I was afraid to move. Couldn't get very comfortable, and I'm afraid I didn't really sleep that much. I don't do mornings, and the tech was in at 5:30 to rip everything off of me, so that I could go home. Slept like the dead once I got home, in my familiar bed, with my pillow. Took a shower to get all of the goo out of my hair, and didn't realize until it was almost dry, that I failed miserably. Still had 2 big gobs of goo on each side of my head and some behind one ear! YUCK!
Not much happened today. Tomorrow I have to take my mom to a dr's appointment and then it's off the baseball practice. More than likely head back to Tampa with hubby this weekend to try and finish the bathroom. All of the sheetrock is hung, now it needs to be finished, and LOTS of tile has to be installed.

So, that is my boring couple of weeks, and I'm sure there will be plenty more boring weeks to come! LOL

Until we meet again!

Another Day

Well, another day, come and almost gone!

Had a Dr appt today with a gastroenterologist, to try and figure out why I keep getting this knot in my throat. He did feel that the lymph nodes on that side were slightly swollen, but thought that the problem was more in the area for an ENT. But, just to be safe since I have had this problem before, and I have pretty bad heartburn, he is going to do an endoscopy next week! Oh yippee! And then I guess we'll go from there to an ENT if he gets no answers.

Also get to do a sleep study the week after to see if I possibly have sleep apnea. I've been told my MANY that I snore horrendously, and I very seldom wake up feeling rested, so Doc thinks it is worth a shot.

Had fun watching my boy practice last night. He's doing great, considering that he hasn't practiced since b-ball was over at the beginning of summer. Also caught up on some Desperate Housewives. I'm still not through with Season 3, but there's still time. Got smart and took my DVD player last night, that has the ipod dock in it. Makes it much easier to see on a 7" screen instead of the ipod.

Tonight, Survivor is back with a new season, and YEA!! LOST is on tonight too! Don't like that they moved Lost to Thursday nights, but it works out ok since the strike. Normally I watch CSI and ER, but they either aren't on, or are repeats, so there are no interuptions for Lost!

The whole work situation is getting rough. I work for my husband's company, which means that while my husband and his dad are building houses, his mother and I work in the office. Well, because no one wants to spend money right now to build houses, I'm pretty much out of a job. MIL tells me today that there will probably be enough money for payroll next week, but after that barring some miracle, there will be no more paychecks! YIKES!!! There is still work to keep DH and FIL busy with the big house they are working on, just means that we will have no money coming in. MIL suggested that I file unemployment, because then there will at least be a little money. I don't make very much money per week as it is, but I guess something is better than nothing. The only good side of it all, is that I don't really have to go to work, unless something just pops up and I am needed. I am only 5 minutes away from the office anyway, so if for any reason she needs help with something, or DH needs something while she is at a DR's appt, then it's not a big deal. Gives me loads of time to get my horribly messy house uncluttered and get my son's room cleaned out so that we can paint it and put in the new shelves. One of his Christmas gifts was getting his room redecorated, and fortunately for me, he is a fairly patient boy!

Well, I'm gonna go cook some vittles and get ready for prime time TV enjoyment!

Later taters!

Babble of the Pngwn

Well, just decided to set up a blog to keep track of lifes ups, downs, spirals and roller coaster moments!

Any one who knows me, knows that I truly have the gift of gab. I am fairly shy, but once you get me started, I have a hard time shutting up. My dad always said I should have been named Brooke, because I was always babbling. Not much has changed.

So, I am truly and old woman before my time, and I really don't have even close to what some would call "a life", but I am going to try to come here at least once a day, and yak about something! My favorite TV shows (way too many to list here), favorite songs or artists, something cool I bought or made, etc. You get the idea!

Don't be surprised though, if I have to vent every now and then! Lots of stuff going on right now, and not all of it is pretty! Sick mother-in-law, sick aunt, mother with medical issues of her own, husband (need I say more? LOL), pets, 12 year old son (who is a clone of previously mentioned husband!) and all of the other YUCK stuff that life keeps dishing out as is if were chocolate ice cream!

Well, that's it for now. Gonna finish up the work day, get a little done at home before heading off to baseball practice. I love to watch my son and his team practice, and it gives me time to finally catch up on all the TV shows that are on my ipod. I'm still trying to get through last season of Desperate Housewives. At least with the Writer's Strike, I am able to catch up instead of just chasing my tail. I am addicted to WAY too many TV shows, and for some reason, the TV execs don't seem to care that they put 2 of my favorite shows on at the same time on the same night, on different channels. Hmmm! Some people! LOL

See what I mean about being windy? That was just supposed to be a good-bye sentence, and it turned into a whole paragraph!

Later!
