Nothing much…

So today I’m feeling totally blah. Most of that is my fault, I stayed up ’till 3 am watching one of my fave movies and I was up at 8 am today. Shame shame. Bishop is at work already, he wasn’t going to go because he can’t stand being at that job anymore but he didn’t finish all he was supposed to do yesterday so he had to go in for a couple hours at least. Lindsey (my sister) is still asleep thankfully. Lately she won’t shut up, she just keeps talking forever even if no one is talking to her. Mom said she will take her today so after she gets up and eats I’m taking her over there. I’m hoping that I can clean house a little bit today but that seems doubtful. I like cleaning alone so I can crank up the stereo and not have to worry about someone watching TV or saying my music is too loud. But Bishop is supposed to be home watching the race…

So, for the pregnancy stuff, nothing new so far. I’m 8 weeks, 2 days today. My symptoms are hungry all the time (I’m eating 5-7 meals a day and I’ve lost 10 pounds so far!) and I’m tired all the time (except at night it seems). My breasts hurt almost all the time which is annoying but I can ignore it when I’m not wearing a bra. I’m having a little light cramping, mostly at night, but it is very brief and not really painful. Of course I’m peeing all the time, but that has been going on for the last month, nothing new with that. No morning sickness, no nausea, no tight pants, nothing else really.

Appointments and more appointments…

Wednesday’s appt went well, it was basically orientation so there wasn’t much too it. They did some blood tests and some urine tests, talked to me about different classes I can take and what they offer at the clinic (nutritionist, therapy) and gave me my pool pass so I can go swimming regularly and so on. She wanted to hold off until I saw the Dr before I got a u/s so he could order any other tests that he might feel necessary.

My appt today was hell. I got there a little early, had to wait almost an hour (apparently they were really backed up) to see the Dr. I asked him if I could wait on the pelvic exam because I’m more comfortable with a woman and he basically told me that I was wasting his time. The whole point of the appt was to get u/s orders, nothing else. Then he got upset that when I was there on Wednesday that the nurse I saw didn’t order a u/s and took it out on me, like I had any control of that! Prick. So he finally writes the orders for my u/s and instead of just sending me to the hospital and me waiting until they can fit me in (this is what I’ve always done) they make me an appt…on Wednesday!!!! Well, if there was one scheduled when I was there on Wednesday it probably wouldn’t have been until next Monday so it wouldn’t have done any good. I’m pissed, Bishop was going to take a long lunch so he could go with me…grrr! Then when I scheduled my next appt the lady at the desk apologized for the Dr, she told me that he could be a little abrasive. Yeah, no shit! I’m hoping that I never have to see him again…

Now I’m waiting till Wednesday so I can get the u/s. I wish they had talked to me before they made the appt, it’s supposed to be at 8 am and that is way early for me. Usually the alarm goes off then and Bishop goes to work at 9 am. That will change with the new job, he will have to be there by 8 but still! I’m not sure I’ll be able to be fully awake at that appt and I wish that Bishop could come with me, but if it’s early for me it’s way too early for him, so he probably won’t come.

I’m super upset about the whole thing. I’ve spent the rest of the day trying really hard not to cry. I hate having shitty Dr appts. At least I know this guy’s name and I can avoid him at all costs. Now I really need to go do something for me. I’ve been planning to make cranberry-orange muffins all week and now I finally have the energy and time…yum, breakfast tomorrow!

Anticipation…

I’m waiting for 3:15 to go to my appt. My mom was really upset that I didn’t already have an ultrasound so she called my Dr and demanded an appt for an u/s so that is happening on Friday. Yay! She went through an ectopic as well and is really concerned for me because of that. I’m glad she is advocating for me, I’m a little too passive in most of these things.

So more good news, Bishop got the new job at Car Quest Auto Parts and he will be starting at at least $2 a hour more than what he is making now. He is supposed to start there in 2 weeks but he thinks that his boss will just say finish this week because it’s the end of the pay period and that will be it. He is also going to ask for the vacation time owed to him, maybe we will be able to get his tires then.

Sis has been a butt head all morning. She got upset with me because I told her that she could come to my appt with me today but that she would have to wait in the waiting room or the car, she couldn’t come in with me. She is too much of a distraction and I need to be able to concentrate on all of this stuff. After arguing with her for 20 minutes I sent her up to her room to calm down and told her that she had to stay up there for 30 minutes and then she could come down. That was 4 hours ago and I haven’t heard anything from her so far. I know as soon as I leave she will come downstairs but I would be happy if she spent all day in her room. She has go to realize that she can’t treat me like that anymore, it’s totally unacceptable to be that rude with me or pull major attitude. And now, whenever she does it, she will go to her room.

I was hoping to get a nap this morning as I was up way early today but that didn’t work out and it’s too late to take one now. Ugh, and I’m so tired. Maybe eating something will wake me up a little bit. Probably not but I’m hungry all the same. I’ll post more later if anything exciting happens at my appt today, I doubt it will though…

Holidays…

I really hate holidays. This time Bishop is out with his friend Tom (Tom is going through a divorce and he isn’t handling it well), mom went to a lot of work making dinner and sis was so upset by mom and me watching The Sound of Music that she refused to eat dinner and we ended up going home early because of it. She voluntarily gave up her lamb and asparagus and desert. That is so unlike her I didn’t know how to react.

Also today (before dinner) we went to the beach and took granny’s car and when we got back my car wouldn’t start. I ended up taking granny’s car all day and just got my car. It’s working fine now, I don’t know why it does that, and it’s not on a regular basis that it just doesn’t run, just sometimes, and usually it starts after 5 minutes of sitting or so.

Now I’m home, sis is supposed to be showering, Bishop is supposed to be on his way home, but neither seem to be happening. Grr… Tomorrow is my appointment and Bishop says he will try to go with me. I hope he will, just because I know he would be disappointed if he doesn’t go.

Maybe I’ll just go to bed early and I won’t have to worry and argue any more tonight…

So tired…

I’m exhausted but can’t seem to be tired enough to sleep. I’ve been so busy today, or at least it seems like it right now. Bishop’s tire was flat so he took my car to work amid a bunch of bitching. I went with mom to her hair appt today, then we went to breakfast (crepes, with strawberries, bananas, and nutella…yum!). We ended up wandering around town window shopping to kill time then we went to get my hair cut. She didn’t actually cut much off, just a little, and she had a great time styling it, but as soon as I got home I had to put it up because I hate it down. Especially on a windy day. I ran around town some more once Bishop had put on his spare tire and came home and cooked dinner.

I usually don’t go by recipes, they seem so complicated and with many unnecessary steps but I attempted chicken satay and shrimp with chiles and egg fried rice. I thought it turned out wonderful, I love Thai food, but sis was complaining the whole time and mom had a headache so she didn’t eat much, and Bishop was gone so he didn’t eat anything. Most of it is still on the stove and I really need to go put it away but I just can’t seem to get on my feet to do it. It doesn’t help that I’ve got a terrible headache that the tylenol didn’t take care of and I’m afraid to take anything else…yuck.

I also made a lemon cheesecake for sis’s 4-H tomorrow, something I no longer go to but mom takes her. The 4-H club she goes to is actually a horse back riding program for disabled children and adults. I’ve seen amazing results with severely disabled children. Sis and I have been fighting a lot the last couple days and I’ve had to threaten her with not going. It’s worked thankfully, I kinda like my Saturdays to myself. I feel bad that I don’t like going. Conflict between the woman who runs it and me I’m afraid. She seems to think that I’m my mother when it comes to doing anything there but if I want to do anything, say riding one of the horses, she treats me like I’m stupid. No thank you, I can live without all that crap. But I still make food for them and really enjoy the compliments that come my way every Saturday.

Bishop went to a job interview today after work. He loves his job but they aren’t paying him nearly what he is worth, he is the top seller and customer service person there but he doesn’t get acknowledged (there are only 7 people that work there, it’s hard to ignore him in that situation) and one of the girls he works with is a total bitch. I’m hoping that he gets the new job, it would mean more money and better hours for the most part. He would get off work at 5 every day and he would get Sunday and Monday off every week. (He went to the interview and it went great, he is waiting to hear back from them regarding pay and when they want him to start. Yay!!!)

Well, I was writing this last night and got interrupted and never got back to it. Today sis is already getting on my last nerve and we have only been up for 30 minutes. Today is going to be tough…

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who left a comment on my blog. Granny seems to be doing fine other than she is still feeling tired. We don’t know why this keeps happening to her, there seems to be no reason.
