Today I'm going to be doing very much. I'm going to be hanging out on the couch until I go to the doctor at 3pm. I'm going to get those apps filled out so I can turn those in tomorrow or Thursday.
I just had my monthly visit 2 weeks ago and here is another one. I don't know what is going on with that. Chad had to go into Oklahoma City to his new doctor. He's going to an Arthritis specialist. I'm hoping they can help him with his degenerative arthritis in his spine and neck. I started my new book last night. So far it's been good. I hope it ends good too. I hate books that start out good and then turn boring or so bad you just put it down and walk away. Which happened with my last read "The Reading Group". I hope you all have a wonderful day today!!

Could I be going through a mid-life crisis? This came to me last night while sitting in my bubble bath. I have always been a strong person and have made it through some pretty tough times. So why am I losing it? I recently turned 38, that isn't a big thing. Could a mid-life crisis cause me to need a career change? My son Brad is leaving for basic training in 2 weeks, that's been on my mind. Josh will be leaving for his in May. Yeah, that could be apart of this "thing" I'm going through. I thought men only had mid-life crisis? Go out, get a sports car, young girlfriend, etc...No honey, I'm not getting a boyfriend or a sports car. Just changing careers :o) I am happier. I've noticed that. I'm not under a black cloud, and crying all the time. Here's a question...Is 38 mid-life? Is there a specific age limit for a mid-life crisis? Just wondering. Chad is home again today. He is coughing (a lot), and still sounds like Barry White when he talks *lol* As for me, I can still tell I have that stupid UTI, just go away!! Yesterday I was sitting here and moved wrong and I think I tore something. Like one of my incisions on the inside. I noticed a little bruise in the area I think it tore. Great!! Tomorrow is going to be a little warmer than today. So I'll go tomorrow to job hunt. I need to find which slacks and blouse I'm wearing. I'll probably wear what ever doesn't need ironing *lol* I have a list of 9 places to go to and see if they are hiring. *Fingers Are Crossed* I hope you have a great Friday/weekend.

Chad made it to work today. He didn't have a fever, but he's still weak I'm sure. As for me, I'm still hurting in my back due to the UTI, and still having pain from the surgery. Today we are expecting snow. The weather man has us getting 2-4 inches starting around noon. We'll see! Saturday I maybe taking Josh to look at and be sized for a tux. His girlfriend attends another school, in a different town, and it's their prom April 4th.  While we are out doing that I will be getting apps and looking for a job. Yesterday Kassy called me and noticed that I was happy :o) So I told her about looking for a new job. She was happy for me. She had called to tell me about a dog I had rescued.
Back in Dec. her and I went to Chad's doctor in another town to get his meds. On our way home we spotted a puppy sitting on the side of the road. We turned around and went back. I can not stand to see animals hurt, hungry, homeless, mistreated, etc. It really bothers me! So I get out and find this puppy is nothing but skin over bones. She was so cute! She laid in my lap all the way to Chickasha. She would look up at me with those brown eyes as if saying thank you. Well I knew we couldn't keep her, we were moving here. Kassy couldn't take her either. So we drove to where Kassy's husband works. We took her in and a guy that worked there took her. Kassy called me yesterday to tell me that the dog is named Glory, and just got her bullet proof vest, her badge and certificate. She has become a drug dog! YEA!! Is that not awesome?! I am so glad that I stopped that day :o)

I went to bed kinda early last night. Normally I go to bed around 11pm, last night I went to bed right after American Idol was over. I'm still resting, trying to get some energy. Chad is home again today. He was running a fever all night. It's staying over 101.0. He hardly has a voice, it's raspy. He's coughing a lot and is congested in his chest. He's really sick :o( He doesn't get sick a lot. But when he does, it's bad. We did talk last night, before dozing off. We talked about my job and my unhappiness there. I'm going to be job hunting as soon as I get over this UTI. I'm hoping that by Friday I can hit a couple of places for apps. I have been checking out assisted living centers here in Norman. Here, you have to be a CNA (which I am) with a Medication license. I had that at one time and was not happy with passing meds. One mistake and you've lost your CNA license....forever! I'm going to try some retail shops and see what happens. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me!! Chad told me last night that there was no use in being unhappy, and hating my job. He told me to do something that would make me happy. I LOVE YOU CHAD!! I'm so happy guys!! I will keep my CNA license up to date. I worked to hard to get that!

Josh ended up taking me to the ER late last night. We got home a little after mid-night. I told the doctor about the pain I'm still having. He said the same thing my regular doctor told me...I'm still healing. He also told me it could be another cyst forming *groans* He also did blood work and took a urine sample. I still have that UTI from back in January! Geesh! So I'm following his order today, lots of fluids and bed rest. I'm also in a funk that I can't get out of lately. As I get closer to going back to work, I find myself getting more and more depressed. I really hate it there!!! I'm so unhappy working there...I want out! I want to be happy again! Chad is also sick with an upper respiratory infection and the flu. He's home today.

I stayed in today. I did take Tucker for a little walk with Chad. Chad ran some errands for me and got some stuff I forgot last night. It was cold here today, and it sprinkled off and on today. Tomorrow should be really nice. We may try to go to the art museum tomorrow in OK City. Monday is going to be nice here. I'm going in to work on mods starting Monday. Before I go in I'm going to the library. I need to find my ID badge for work and my notebook with all my passwords in it. I made chili earlier. With the boys gone to drill I have plenty left. We'll have some for tomorrow :o) This summer while they are in basic training my grocery bill will be much lower and cooking for 2 will be a new challenge. I'm off for a hot bubble bath...Good night! Oh, before I go I wanted to share a pic of my baby. Tucker.

Chad is feeling so much better. So much better in fact, he went to work this morning. I need to re wash the bed sheets since Chad was sick. So far I haven't gotten it *Fingers Are Crossed*
 It's cold, and icy here today. It will be like this until Saturday. Come on spring!!! I need sun and warmth. It's just me and Tucker snuggled up on the couch keeping warm. I dread having to take him out later...Brrr!! Brad and Josh just left for work and school. They will be leaving tomorrow at noon to leave for drill weekend. They will need to pack tonight for the weekend. It will be just Chad and me the whole weekend :o) Peace and quite *woot* I want to go to the library Saturday and check out some new books. I have my list ready :o) Not much else going on here. Just another cold, boring day. Take care everyone!!

I'm so tired. I came down stairs at 7:30 this morning and put my butt on the couch. I woke up about an hour ago at 12:30pm. I was up late last night trying to get Chad's fever to break, and ended up taking Josh to the ER for his back. I had just laid down in bed when he knocked on the door asking me to take him in. He has degenerative arthritis in his spine. Just like his dear old dad. Anyhoo, he was told he needed to see a Physical Therapist. So now we'll need to find him a regular doctor and have him refer him to a PT doctor. I'm not sure I have the flu yet or not. I just feel really weak today. I know I'm gonna get it, I just don't know when. Brad stayed home from work today. He isn't feeling to well either. I hate the flu!!!!

The flu. Chad came home from work with the dreaded flu bug. He's got a fever, and sick at his stomach. Poor guy :o( Now me and the boys are going to end up sick. Our daughter Kassy called me earlier today telling me that she also has it. I do have a horrible headache and feel icky but I think it could be due to that time of the month. My doctor told me yesterday not to get the flu...I should have asked her how not to get it *lol* I know hand washing is a must. I'm watching American Idol, but may go up stairs and soak in the tub :o) I need to go check on Chad. He went up to bed. Night All!

I woke up this morning with a splitting headache. I'm hoping the rapid release stuff will work fast. It's pretty good stuff. I've got some laundry to do today and I need to vacuum. I've got my doctors appointment today *blah* After that I will have to go to the hospital and talk to my boss about my schedule and what hours will be best for me to start out with. I'm shooting for 4 hours a day for 2 weeks to get my mods done. Then go 8 hours and training for the 3-11 shift. I pray it will be better on that shift and not as much stress to deal with. Chad is off today. That has really messed up my days.  With him home it seems like Sunday. He's snoozing right now. He had a bad night with acid reflux and slept on the couch. I'm off to do laundry *joy*
