My hormones are all outta whack. Thank goodness for my entire family, the people I work with, the people I go to church with, pretty much anyone who comes in contact with me, I have an appointment on Monday with my "girl doctor" for my post-op appointment, annual exam and bio-identical hormone placement. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping that getting my hormones back in order will help with this depression I've been feeling of late. The Zoloft just isn't doing the job.
On the bright side, Richard is feeling better (better pain meds and some steroids have made a big difference) so he's able to take care of everyone today. At least I managed to shower. I left once to pick up James from a party. I threw some laundry in the washer, but haven't done anything else with them.
I hate it when I get this way. I was feeling so good for a good long time. I'm hoping it's the rain, the hormones, the...oh who knows. Maybe I'm just getting old. Maybe it's just something I'm going to have to deal with. For today, I'm hiding in my cave. Watching TV. Playing Facebook games. And Richard is taking care of me. I'll get back on the horse tomorrow. I'll at least make an effort tomorrow. ;-)

Crazy Weekend
In an odd way, I've actually enjoyed the weekend. Even though it's been busy, busy, busy. It began with a doctor appointment for Chris right after school yesterday. Well, after my school but had to get him out of school. Took John home, took Chris to the doctor. Got home in time to get the last bit of stuff packed up for James's 11-year-old campout Friday night. Got him to the church and off with his leader. Then home in time to take John to baseball practice. Practice was cut short so we could go home and watch the Texas Rangers in the ALCS. Go Rangers! Got home to find that Richard was already home. Yay! The game was great fun to watch until the 8th inning. Fell apart after that. Booooooo!
I still stayed up late to watch the bitter end. Then up fairly early (for a Saturday) to get John off to a 9:00 baseball game. We actually went a bit early and Richard worked with him on his batting. (Yay again!) It really helped and John had a great game. In three at-bats, he got on base twice by walks and struck out once - but he struck out swinging at a good pitch. Our team played fabulously! Some really good fielding, good hitting...it was a fun morning.
While we were at the game, Chris drove himself to his Region Orchestra auditions. After the game, I went grocery shopping while Richard napped (he is in SO much pain these days - having trouble walking.) Got home and got the groceries put away, traded out some laundry and then took Chris to his jubilee audition. Turns out it wasn't at the Allen Stake Center but got moved to the Melissa building. Only about 20 miles in the opposite direction. ARGH! But we made it and he sang "Luck Be a Lady" much to the judges' delight. It was great to spend a little one-on-one time with him.
He was auditioning for the Texas Jubilee 2011. It looks to be a wild party - Mormon youth style.
Came home to find that James was home. He had a great time. Of all my boys, I think he is the one who actually enjoys scouting. He was dirty and smelly, so that means that he had fun. :-)
It is now 8:44 pm. I have finished, including folded, four loads of laundry. I didn't make dinner because Richard has said that it would be his job on the weekends. Therefore, we had YOYO night. Sigh. I watched the Rangers win game 2. And...I haven't heard any arguing from upstairs. I may have just jinxed myself. I think it's about time I took myself to bed. But Richard just got up, so I should probably spend a little time with him too.
I sure hope tomorrow is a bit less busy. It should be - even on a Sunday. We'll see.

What. A. Month...
and then some. It's been crazy! Van issues, refinance issues, surgery (technically, out-patient "procedure,) and crazy kids. Scouts! Homework! Baseball! How did I get myself into this mess? Oh...and a kitten.
I'd probably feel better if I'd been blogging about it all along. So...
the van's engine blew up. Or blew a rod. Or something like that. Whatever. It meant that we got to replace the engine in the van that Richard was hoping to trade in. That's not going to happen now. On the positive side of that, while the van was in the shop in Midlothian, Richard's dad was nice enough to loan him his car.
We finally managed to get the refinance done on the house. The van died in the middle of the refinance, so there was some question as to whether or not we were going to be able to pull it all off. But we managed it. And hopefully soon, we'll get our escrow back so that we can get at least part of our loans paid off. But...1.5% and $150/month lower is nothing to sneeze at.
I got to have surgery - kinda. It was a hysteroscopy and a D&C. I've been menopausal for a good two years now. Suddenly a couple of weeks ago, that thing that's not supposed to happen when your menopausal started happening. Ack! Called the doc, got a sonogram, had a "thing," (I really hate the word "polyp." It just sounds so icky), had surgery to remove it and anything else. Still haven't heard back from the doctor. Guess I'll call him tomorrow.
The rest is typical family busy-ness. Like this weekend. James has a campout, John has a baseball game, and Chris has two different auditions at the same time. Yippee. Think anyone would notice if I just skipped church on Sunday to recuperate?
I really need to blog more often. Maybe over the Thanksgiving holiday. :-)
