Tuesday

Today was a interesting day. I've sick since last week and wasn't getting better.

I had a frustrating telephone call from the director at the school that caused me to have a anxiety attack and that caused me to have a fun ride in an ambulance. I had an EKG done as well as x-rays. Nothing abnormal was found. I know that's hard to believe. Bill was my focal point when the nurse was trying to get a needle in my arm for blood tests. The room got extremely hot and I thought I was going to toss my cookies.


After spending 2 1/2 hours at the emergency room a doctor shared with me that a month ago I was given medicine for a bladder infection instead of a sinus infection. Bill has pointed out to the doctor a month ago that I had a sinus infection not a bladder infection and the doctor said it would help both problems!


The last time I rode in an ambulance was 22 years ago. I was holding my beautiful daughter Tracy. It was boring without her today.

Saturday

Three days and counting of being sick with the flu. I am tired of being exposed to disease's at school. I wish parents would keep their sick toddlers home instead of expecting us to deal with them!

Friday

Today is my second day to be home sick. I'm not sure if I am dealing with the flu or missing my children. I wish today was next Friday so I could get out of here.

Dealing with toddlers

This week at school has been interesting. A little girl named Jordan jumped off the steps on the playground and chipped a front tooth. In a couple of weeks Jordan will have to have IV sedation to have a root canal done at the young age of two years old.

Today another another little girl named Morgan was standing next to a coworker and the coworker noticed something moving on Morgan's head. Yes it was head lice. The other remaining 26 toddlers and 3 teachers had their heads checked. All bedding and clothing was packed into garbage bags to make it easier for the parents to take home for laundering. Then began the washing of any cloth toys, madly cleaning the room and last but not least bug bombing the room at the end of the day so the rest of us can stay head lice free.

Hopefully the parents have taken care of head lice in Morgan's head before they try to bring her back to school tomorrow.

No more meds

I am sick of being sick. I went to see the doctor on Tuesday dealing with allergy problems and she told me to take non-prescription medicine. I didn't make it to work today because of the side of affects of the medicine. I had furiously been drinking water to help the medicine get out of my body.

A Healthy Heart

I passed my stress test with flying colors. I had a echo cardiogram done at resting rate and then ran on the treadmill for six minutes and had a second echo cardiogram done to see how my heart reacted. My blood pressure was 122/90 during the testing. It was pretty cool to see pictures of my heart and what it looks like when its beating.

Treadmill fun

I heading off to have a stress test done. Its one of the joys of maturing I guess. After the test I get to eat a late lunch, I am starving. It was hard to be at school and have to get lunch ready for the twenty seven toddlers.


I am hoping for you results. I will keep you posted.

Treadmill fun

Saturday

It was very odd buying Christmas ornaments in July. It was fun finding just the right ornament for everyone in the family.


Were spending the weekend hiding inside with the outside temperature being 102. Thirteen more degrees and we would have the same temperature as Arizona.

Friday

Mark your calendars for July 11th. You can get a free slurpee at 7/11 stores. There's not a lot of things you can get for free any more.


This week has been uneventful compared to last week which is fine with me. I can wait another fifty three years to go to the emergency room again, not to mention its not Bill's favorite place to spend 3 1/2 hours not making the call about what is going on.


I hope everyone is having a blessed week.

Getting better

Thank goodness Bill has the patience of a saint. This has been a strange week after being prescribed an antibiotic that I was allergic to. Now I have been living in and off in a stage of fogginess since given new improved antibiotics that I'm not allergic to. I should have read the drug info closer and I would have better understood things I've been dealing with.


It was great spending the weekend with Trish, Elisha and Zack and Bill.

The 4th of July was nice and relaxing. Good job on the food Trish.

On our way home today we stopped by Camp Classen and got to spend time with Will while his campers we taking a siesta.

Good as new

It was so much fun going back to work today and having to repeat my story about going to the emergency room.

It was a slow day only 20 toddlers were in attendance instead of the normal 29. The school had their own parade this morning. I'm not too sure how intelligent it was to take toddlers in the parking lot to say the Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner. I'm happy to report we didn't have anyone get hit by the incoming cars and no one got lost while having 80 kids file back into the school!

God bless America and Happy 4th of July.

What a fun night!

Last night after work I went to Minute Clinic because my sinus infection was lingering. I was given a antibiotic that was the best antibiotic. Little did I know I was allergic to the antibiotic.

I couldn't sleep for more than twenty minutes at a time. I spent a couple of hours pacing around our house feeling like a lobster. Around two a.m. I felt panicky. I woke Bill up and he escorted me to the emergency room where I received a steroid shot in one arm and a benadryl shot in the other arm. I was observed for a couple of hours.

Its really fun to be coming in the door at the point I should have getting ready to go to work. Thank goodness this is a short work week. I have to get my ducks in a row and make it through tomorrow.
