I have received some interesting comments about my last blog. My friend Carol, whose mom worked in a chocolate factory, told me that bugs do indeed get into chocolate. Yucky- Carol also brought up an unpleasant thought…”What about eating candy at the movies…..??” Seriously, people, I may never get candy at the movies again, you can’t SEE squat in there!! My sister, Kelly, has vowed to check every single candy bar she eats from now on! I really didn’t mean to make the world a more paranoid place! I just wanted everyone to know that it IS possible!
In other news, Kadin’s shoddy stitching job resulted in another trip to the ER, as they tore open last night. This time they glued his head shut, not the mouth part….which would make things considerably quieter at our house, but the 1/4 inch gaping wound still in his head. Poor kid, I have a sneaky suspicion that this is only two of many trips to the ER for him, he really is a risk taker.
Tonight is the season finale for American Idol, we are having our friends Keith and Carol over for ribs, and to watch it together. We are so immature and call each other, like 10 times during the show to discuss how everyone is doing. So we decided that we MUST actually be together for the finale, because it is just too pathetic to be calling all the time (or so my hubby says). I think sometimes that girls really never outgrow that silly, giddy schoolgirl-ish-ness about them….at least I hope I never do. As for James, I think he likes having something to pick on me about. He always makes an “appearance” during the commercials when Carol and I are chatting, and makes faces!!
My fibromyalgia is really flaring up the past week, so that is not fun. Most of the time I feel like I have the flu (achy, sensitive skin, nausea, muscle aches) so I am dealing with that. James has been helping with dinner and the kids which takes a load off me. There really aren’t too many good options for FMS, as far as treatment goes, so you basically have to live with it. My job doesn’t provide insurance for me, so Physical therapy is out, as well as anything else alternative that would help. Most of the time I can manage, but this past week has been alot for me. The really annoying thing is that is “settles” somewhere, surprise, you never know quite where!! This flare up is all about my hip sockets, weird, but true, I am limping around here like an old arthritic. It passes that is the good thing. I decided to try some Vitamin B6 this round to see if it helps, any advise out there?
Well, that is all I got for now, just some bits and pieces of my day…have a safe and relaxing memorial day weekend, and let’s not forget that this weekend is about more than bbq’s and fishing. Soldiers have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, and Monday is for remembering them. Let’s not forget!!
