yikes?!

i guess i should have checked in after that last post!! no more hives... they went away after 7 days of heavy steroids. steroids make me very very hyper... so i spent 5 days awake, talking for hours and hours on end, until my throat got swollen and my tongue was sore...and almost spontaneously combusting...
but those meds are over.
downfall is that i had to stop all my antibiotics and stomach meds, so I'm back on square one with my stomach. i have a bunch of appointments lined up with specialists for January... so hopefully i'll get some answers soon.

as for the doctor? hmmm... i can't handle the stress of even imagining Jon leaving just yet...
but i did pick up my bloodwork script over coffee today ;)
i still have to find a new doctor, but i need to wait for a few more tests to finish up first... dumping all this on a new guy would be confusing!!
'doctor rob' recommended someone who i will schedule an exam with in January... i'm making him come with me too... i think i might have some paperwork drawn up giving 'doctor rob' access to all my test results and everything, and overall say in my medical care if i should become hospitalized... because i never know what anything means, and some of the words i've heard come out of doctors mouths have been quite scary... hearing it from someone i love might make it easier.

life is still so crazy... i decided it would be smart to adopt someone else's child for 60 hours a week! my house has never been so loud. shes a three year old girl, and i never realized the difference between boys and girls until a week listening to this child's voice... girls are such a different sound level.
i have a headache from the shrillness...
but she's sweet and keeps my kid busy, although he seems to be picking up a bully type role with her... but i almost think that's the way it needs to be between these two.
the two of them staged a coup at 7am, while i was still asleep... they went upstairs to my aunts and stole 8 candy canes off the tree.
they were so proud of themselves, that they brought them (and the stickiness they create) into my bed to wake me up... i think i still have some in my hair!

my sister just moved back from Florida today after 3 years... we're going to take the kids to breakfast with Santa tomorrow and a holiday light show... should be interesting...
I'm still not a huge fan of bringing my hyperactive spawn into public places... he knows how to push all my buttons out in public, and i hate being the one with the child pitching a fit... i can't stand that... and griffin has a short attention span... and i know that we will encounter some sort of line... i hate waiting on line... my son equally shares my hatred...
we don't usually last long on a line, i loose my shit, ans we abandon ship and go home. not the best reaction i know... but i hate being THAT mom in public... you know the one who can't control her kid... i have no problem never bringing him out until he's old enough to understand how to behave. He goes out 24 hours a day with his dad... so its not going to hurt him socially, and it may ensure his safety through toddlerhood ;)

ok, enough rambling for the night!
love ya
