MY CHRISTMAS BABIES

OLIVER AND GABRIELLA

BLOGGIN' FRIENDS

remember how in one of my past posts i said i needed friends? well.... now i feel like i have friends! bloggin' friends! i really feel like i know yall because of this and i feel like we are friends! i never thought when i started this that it would turn out to be a way to make friends! i just realized this recently. im so happy to have all of yall as my new friends. i feel like i could call any of you up and we could hang out. some of you that i knew prior to bloggin' i feel like i know better now. facebook has been another way of getting to know people better. if you arent on facebook you should give it a try!!! hey....its not just for kids! thats what i thought until i found one of my friends from high school was on it and shes the same age as i am! since then i have found out that there are actually people older then me on it!!

THE WEB CAM

weve been talking to oliver and gabriella on the webcam the last 2 days. they seem to love it! its so fun to see them and talk to them. its so much better then just talking on the phone. gabriella laughs and waves. oliver likes to act silly. they are SO cute!!!

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

so i was ready to give up on christmas lights since its only a week away from christmas but steve just couldnt give up! so emily and bossy got out there and started putting them up today. they got pretty far along before it got dark and they look great!! thank goodness for good ole bossy!!! emily has been wrapping my presents for me too and bossy helped her tonight! i like to wrap presents but when it comes down to doing it i feel stressed! i went back to the dr. today and she said the xray showed that i had arthiritis. just as i suspected! i also had fluid on my knee. since it was feeling better she said we wouldnt have to do the mri right now but if it started doing worse we would do one.

I FINALLY GOT MY RX!!!!!!!!!!

i called the dr. at the hospital and they said he hadnt come in yet. i called his office and got the answering service and left a message. i thought about having him paged but decided to wait until the office opened. i called back when they opened and they said they sent the approval yesterday so i called the drug store back. they said they hadnt gotten it so they would call the drs. office. anyway, i FINALLY got the meds this afternoon! next time i will get my prescription in writing even though its more of a hassle for me. actually nothing could be more of a hassle then this has been! i guess i wont be going to the hospital but sometimes these things take days for the effects to show up so ill wait and see! steve was even beginning to get worried and hes the one that always says he thinks i should stop taking the drugs altogether!! he thinks they are the source of my problems. he told me before he left for work be sure and go get your meds first thing this morning!!! he also called back a few hours later to see if id gone yet. he said he thought i might have gone back to sleep and forgotten to go get them. i wonder why he would think that? maybe since i slept most of the day yesterday? i think ive figured out why i had a headache too. steve asked me this morning if i took my other meds last night. i had forgotten to (well..... actually i slept through the time i was supposed to take them). so i didnt take my blood pressure medicine yesterday. my headache was the pounding kind. im sure it was due to my blood pressure. my blood pressure has been up a little lately anyway. just missing one pill usually wouldnt make it go up but since its been up anyway it might. i go to the dr. tommorrow to find out the results of my xray on my knee and to find out if im going to need an mri on it. its feeling better but still not 100%. drs.,drs.,drs.!!!! do i sound like a hypocondriac? probably!!!
