well, mom has been having a lot of health issues with fatigue and leg cramps. Her old doctor seemed to be inadequate, so she tried a new chick. This lady seems to be on spot. Mom had been giving herself b12 injections with a small needle, only making it in the fat. The old doctor was apparently a tard. The new doctor gave her 1.5 inch needles, and mom couldn't psych herself up enough to give it. So, today I ran by on my lunch break to give her this injection. She was so freaked out and anxious, she was slightly hysterical, like that hysterical laughter type of hysterical. It rubbed off on me, and by the time I was trying to give her the shot, I had to cross my legs and concentrate. My attempt at not peeing my pants failed miserably, as did moms. We totally both peed our pants laughing! It WAS hysterical! Oh my gosh. My aunt Sharon was there to witness but somehow had control of her bladder. We went for a quick lunch at el chicos, and then I ran home to change clothes before my next visit. On a side note, where do i get me some of those quick drying pants???

Ten on Tuesday...sort of
1. Well, technically it is wed morning, but everyone else did a ten on tuesday, so I felt the need to join in!
2. Loved all the pics of Zane in Aud's post!
3. Just finished the book "The next thing on my list" or something like that, it was cute. A girl had a list to complete kind of like our goals list fro, but don't read it right now. There's for something in it, that is too close to home right now. The new one I started looks promising.
4. Praying for you all.
5. We have 3 computers. Brandon is a nerd. This particular one, I always hit the little mouse pad and move my cursor somewhere random. It ticks me off!
6. I am going to die in a few hours when I have to go to work. I was so tired tonight, I went to bed at 8pm. I see now the fault in that, because I woke up around 2am.
7. It is raining again! Praise God! We need it so bad. The poor farmers are drying up.

8. I had to use blogger for dummies to add that link.
9. Well, at my last ENT appointment, the doc took a biopsy of my nose. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. He injected me with lidocaine, which burned quite alarmingly, but I lived. Then, he biopsied me, and I should know results by thurs which will lead to either surgery if everything is fine, or something else if not...not thrilled about the idea of surgery, but I don't want to have a nose like michael jackson either.
10. Brandon got a new car last week. It's a 2012 mustang. It's a standard, so I am learning to drive it, which is fun! It's slow going. We are on lesson 1, stop to go without killing it. I am doing pretty well for a beginner, I think. My dad never taught me. He said teaching me how to drive an automatic was traumatizing enough for him.

a few random things
I slept all day yesterday. Pretty much literally. I enjoyed it thoroughly and didn't feel like I was wasting the day at all. I just felt like it was much needed. I was slightly more awake today but not anymore productive. I did find a cute "wristlet" which is a clutch with a wrist strap basically. It was cute and helped me downsize my purse considerably. It seems the bigger my purse is, the more crap I feel I need to carry with me unnecessarily.
Friday was a fun night. My friend Liz's friend Matt is a filmmaker. He is trying to raise money for a documentary about Native American artists with a purpose. Basically, it is about art to raise money within their community for health, homes, etc... the big epidemic within the Native American community is diabetes, which I am familiar with through my career. These artists use proceeds to fund anything positive in the community. It seems like it will be a great doc. So, friday was a fundraiser. I got to see my friend Danielle and her wife Cole and their 5month old Bex who is freakin adorable. Also saw a few more friends I hadn't seen in a while which was cool. Otherwise, I would have been at home on the couch, so I felt it was a great Friday.
Later this evening I am going to watch lifechurch on the internet, because I overslept (somehow) today and missed mass. I like lifechurch. It's not mass, but there's really no way to have mass online. It just wouldn't work. This is more like a bible study almost for me, but I enjoy it. It is definitely convenient when I miss mass. I still get that spiritual fulfillment.
We haven't had Madie all week, because we had her all week last week. We get her back Tuesday. She always keeps me awake and moving to say the least. She's a good kid and really for all the chaos in her life handles it really well, a well adjusted 4 year old, if you ask me.
Another, different Liz and I were supposed to get together Saturday, but she didn't feel well. So, we rescheduled for next weekend. Looks like we're heading to whitewater with the kids. At the beginning of the summer, I was all about laying out at our pool every weekend getting my tan on, but I'm so over it with this heat. I do think whitewater will be fun though.
Today, I have watched a lot of phineas and ferb, read, and found my wristlet on sale for $6 with a 20% off coupon, so basically that ruled. What a find!
I posted earlier, and I really liked the quote I found. I love you all and am praying for you especially hard today.

Vaca update
Well, Vacation had ups and downs.
We left on wednesday night to go stay a few days with Brandon's sister Linita before going to Galveston. The first night we were there, Linita approached me and said, "don't tell brandon, but he's really freaked out about getting married". Okay, now my nerves are shot. I feel like vomiting. I do. I take a xanax. I vomit. I finally get Brandon alone, and he says this never happened and isn't true. Who do I believe? What do I do? Basically, freak out. Eventually, Brandon continued to act normal so I believed him when he said his sister will make stuff up to talk trash and make me feel uncomfortable. Mission accomplished. I will not be visiting her again.
Things got better when my nerves settled down, and Brandon and I are fine. I learned the lesson that his sister/family cannot be trusted, and I will not be close with them.
The following day, we lounged around the house, because we stayed up so late.
Friday, we went to the lake and Madie had a blast with her cousin Axton (boy). It was a good day. The heat drained us all, but it was fun.
Saturday, we left for Gainesville. We took Madie to the ocean for the first time. She loved jumping in the waves. Bought some souvenirs, ate some seafood, and chilled at the hotel. I love staying in hotels. I love the bedding, turning the a/c down way low and just relaxing, so I enjoyed that...UNTIL
I got a call from the bride to be whose wedding we went to Gainesville for. Backstory: Britini is my friend. Her fiance Shane is Brandon's cousin. Shane talks crap on me regularly. I have seen the texts. Brandon defends me, but I do not like Shane. Shane is a liar. He will do anything to make himself look good. He has a history of cheating. He is a grade A loser.
Britini called in tears saying Shane had walked out and was nowhere to be found. They had dinner with Britini's family and Shane went out to smoke 4 times before the food came. It bothered Britini because her family felt awkward. Britini tried to communicate this to Shane, and Shane flipped his lid yelling at her infront of her entire family in a public restaurant and ending their relationship and calling off the wedding. So, there was no wedding.
Lesson learned: Brandon's family = drama.
I love him very much, but his dad is really the only family member of his i like as well. awwwwwwwwkward....
Britini's family made her go on the cruise that was supposed to be her honeymoon. (the family was all going as well) They didn't want her going home alone. Brandon has spoken with Shane, and he is still in the home Britini owns that they lived in together. He told Brandon when Britini came back, he would tell her he wanted to rent the guest room. Are you really that big of a jerk/moron? No. I think he is going to try and manipulate her and get back with her. It is a negative situation I do not support. I have already distanced myself from Britini significantly because of how Shane is, and she is always with him. It has hurt our friendship, admittedly, I have let it hurt our friendship. Brandon says I shouldn't let Shane affect Brit and I, but it is hard because I genuinely think he is a pig and she genuinely loves him....
