Date Night Friday

Since we didn't get to celebrate my birthday last Friday, because of rescuing daughter and my mom when daughter's car broke down, hubby took me on a date today.

He's such a sweetheart.

We saw Godzilla and went to Sizzlers. He also bought me Dragon Naturally Speaking for my new computer.

Hmm, seems like there's a theme going here.

Happy Birthday Pooky

This potted cat is named Pooky.
Today is her Birthday, she's eighteen and roughly a month older than my daughter.

Yes, I and the mother cat were briefly pregnant together.

My Birthday

My Birthday is tomorrow.

It seems to come around faster and faster the older I get.

Tomorrow I may let the lol cats throw me a shindig, we'll see what I feel up too.

Happy Birthday to my daughter!!!

Happy Birthday to my daughter Sarah!

My Birthday day girl.

She turned seventeen today.

*Sniff sniff*

With her B-day card.

With her Birthday present a lap top computer.

I thought she needed one for school and found on one sale at Wal-mart.

We took her out to a Vietnamese restaurant called Kim's, and she had pan fired chicken curry.

My girl loves curry.

I tried my hand at making curry this last week, and it didn't turn out too bad if I do say so myself. But Sarah still wanted some more curry for her

B-day.

Happy Birthday my darling daughter.

I hope you had a great day.

Happy Halloween!

Before I forget Happy Halloween!

I wanted to post this yesterday but we had an electrical storm come through our area, and I didn’t want some freak bolt of lightning burning out my computer.
~~~
Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, but after the last twenty-seven years of marriage I have learned not to buy him a present.

.

I let him buy himself something for his birthday; after all he knows what he really wants for a birthday present.
.

He choose a new computer game and a new set of joy sticks, he had wore out his last set.

He's such a big kid.
See this is why in my profile I said; I'm raising a daughter and a husband.

~~~
My daughter is sick and I have been at the doctor’s for the last two days.
Yesterday her regular doctor was gone on a doctor’s conference, and we had a substitute doctor who I’m sure is a fine doctor, but he just doesn’t know us. I don’t believe in going to the doctor for every little sniffle, and I only go in when my daughter has a cold that she isn’t getting over or an infection of some kind.
.
This new doctor said, “[that he] wasn’t convinced, after looking at an x-ray [of my daughter’s skull, that he ordered and the sinus swab], that she had a sinus infection.” So he recommended a sinus saline wash, and for her to wash out her sinuses twice a day morning and night, and then use the nasal spray he prescribed.
.
Okay, the thing about severely swollen sinuses is that what goes in doesn’t necessarily come out. Ouch!
.
My daughter moaned in her sleep all night long from the sinus pressure, even though I did give her Tylenol for the pain as per the doctor’s recommendation.
.
I took her to school even though she didn’t really feel like going, because she had already missed three days last week, and the doctor thought she wasn’t ill enough to stay home.
.
At ten this morning I got a call; “Mom, come and get me. I feel terrible.”
.
I found her in the school nurse’s office, and the nurse told me, “Your daughter has a sinus infection you need to take her to the doctor.”
.
I felt like saying "duh, like I don't know that? Come with me and convince that (new) doctor about it!" But I didn't, but I may have rolled my eyes.
.
But I did tell her what happened the day before, and she told me to “take her back again today and insist (who me) that he proscribed her a antibiotic.” She even gave me a note to take to the doctor that described her symptoms and that she thought that it was the signs of a sinus infection.
I was glad to get it and her excuse for my daughter to miss the rest of the day at school.
.
I went back to the doctor’s office and got in right away yesterday it was a one hour wait. Yesterday I was at the doctor’s office all together with the swab then waiting for the x-ray, and then the doctor to talk to me again--for three and half hours.
That’s three and half hours of my life that I will never see again.
.
When we got in the exam room; in walked my daughter’s doctor Dr. Naz, he has been my daughter’s doctor since she was born. He was actually the second person to hold her after her birth.
.
I was so glad to see him I could have hugged him.
I told Dr. Naz what happened, and showed him the note from the school nurse. He examined her and proscribed an antibiotic and a cough medicine that has an antihistamine in it. The antihistamine will reduce the swelling in her poor sinises.
.
I tried to fill the prescription right away, but our insurance last year made us switch from Wal-mart where we had been going for years to Long's drugs. Because of some new supposable cheaper deal at Long’s.
.
The only thing was I forgot.
.
I had only filled one prescription for Sarah last year for an ear infection, and I just didn’t remember the switch. So we had to get back in the car and go to the other store. Luckily it didn’t take too long, and I had my daughter to take a nap as soon as I gave her the new medicine.
.
My poor baby girl went right to sleep.
.
After seeing her doctor today I think she’ll be all right.

More Mayborn people!

Today we took my daughter's friend Arma out for her birthday, she is sweet sixteen!

We took her to see Shrek 3, which wasn't as good as the first two. Then we went to round table pizza then to her house mom's home for cheese cake. Right now she is asleep in my daughter's room they are having a sleep over.

Unfortunately Arma will be living us soon, the last day of school is May 31, and she has her tickets to fly home to Indonesia on June 11th. And the really sucky thing is we'll probably never see her again!

Lady Jan's Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, and for those keeping tabs I'm now 46 years old.

I'm a big girl now, on second thought forget I said that.

My day started like anyother I got up at six to take my husband and then my daughter to work and school. But I kept looking for Mitzi.

I forgot she not there anymore, and she doesn't need to let out, but I can't help it I keep wanting to check on her. I guess 20 years to take care of a dog you get into certain habits. But I miss her too.

Later in the day I went to pick up my daughter at school and the serpentine fan broke on my car.

Rattle, rattle, rattle.

Slap, slap, slap.

Snap!

Ping!

And then the smell of burning rubber and the steering got hard, and I thought please God just let me make it to the school parking lot.

I did but I had one hard right hand turn, and then one really difficult left hand turn, and finally I could just drive straight and park my car.

I called my parents on my cell phone thank God they were home and could help me. Then they came and got my daughter and myself then we picked up my husband.

My husband check on the belt, and I was right that was the problem. "See I told you," I told him, and "all this just had to happen right on my birthday didn't it?"

I thought if we can just get it fixed right away and cheaply, that will be present enough for me.

Thank fully my husband with surprisingly enough my daughter's help was able to fix it. My husband was having a hard time getting the darn belt on, while I held up the hood. So my daughter rolled up her sleeves actually got the belt on correctly.

I thanked my parents and gave my step-dad a big hug was coming to our rescue yet again, then we celebrated by going home and taking turns in the shower and getting the grease off ourselves.

I kid.

Actually we did that then we went to IHOP for my birthday dinner.

I had a chicken sandwich that had grilled veggies in it, and I asked for half onion ring and half french fries. And I was told that they normally don't do that but since it was a slow night they could.

Yea, me!

And it was yummy too!

At least one thing worked out on that day.
