My wrist have been bothering me since forever. I have always had bad wrist. I did something to them with I was young that caused them to be weaker and painful at times. So every time I would have pain, weakness, numbness, tingling in the past year and a half, I just figured it was from that. Well my left wrist has been in horrible pain for over a week now. I figured I had over extended it even though I didn't remember doing anything to it. Well yesterday when my right started hurting and I KNEW I didn't do anything to that one, I started looking on the Internet for possible reasons.

Carpal tunnel kept coming up as the possible reason and when looking at the symptoms and all my past problems it dawned on me that that could be the issue. So I went to the doctor because I know it is a degenerative problems and I don't want to end up with no feeling in my hands if that is the issue.

Well it is official I have carpal tunnel. I go at the end of November to get a test to see how bad it is(if they can't move my appointment up) and am looking at the possibility of surgery on both wrist. Needless to say I am glad to know the reason for all these issues, but I do not want to have surgery. With 5 kids to care for, I don't know how that will fit into my life. But I guess we will see what the doctor ends up saying next month.

Praying it is over!!

I was praying that this bug that Kennedy had would not spread to the rest of the family. And after a full day of no pukey kids and no upset stomachs I thought we were in the clear. But this morning started with me finding Livie caked in puke. She had thrown up in her sleep and slept in it all night. It was crushed in her hair. So that required a bath and watching all her sheets and blankets.

Then Alex started complaining of a stomach ache, but since he had ate a bunch of lunch meat without my knowledge I figured it was from that. So I sent him to school and got a call at 10 to pick him up. So I had him lay down and he and Livie lounged around all day just feeling cruddy, but no more puke. Then around 4 after doing some laundry I walked into the living room and found Alex puking out the living room window. Why the window I don't know, but thankfully I didn't need to clean up any puke.

So then after lunch, Livie was acting really cranky and I went to feed her and she refused, which isn't like her. I set her up, she looked at me and puked all over me. And then did it again.

Well after a shower I feel(and smell) much cleaner, but I am PRAYING that this bug is done and over with!! I don't want to be puked on anymore. My limit is 4 times in 3 days!!

Not exactly what I expected

Well my evening is not going as I expected. Tonight we were going over to John's parents for dinner and I was looking forward to a yummy turkey dinner. Instead John took Alex, JJ, and Livie over and I stayed home with Kennedy. She has a stomach bug and so I have spent my evening cleaning up after 6 rounds of her puking and getting thrown up 3 times.

I am praying that her sour stomach is over and that no one else gets sick. Just as every week, we really don't have time for people being sick. This week is teacher appreciation week at PVCA and I am to help out with it throughout the week. Plus I honestly don't want to be thrown up on again and would like to get this nasty puke smell out of my house!!!

But on a bright note, John brought me home the newest Chronicles of Narnia dvd to watch so I am watching that as we speak, or I guess, as I type.

Not your typical Easter

Well today instead of dressing all the kids up in their new Easter outfits and heading to church to worship our Lord and Savior and teach Sunday school class, our family stayed home from church. I have been fighting a bad sinus infection for close to 2 weeks and finally went to the doctor today to get some meds. So with a diagnosis in hand John felt that I needed to stay home and lounge around. As much as I hate to admit it, he was right. I have felt horrible all day.

And since my amazing brother is in town, he decided to take Alex, JJ, and Kennedy to my grandma's for the afternoon so the house was alot quieter so I could get some rest. This is what my day has consisted off. Admittedly not exactly how I wanted to spend Easter, but definitely was needed!

Snuggled up on the couch under a blanket with lots of tissues within reach.

Playing on the computer. Crocheting a blanket with some pretty colored yarn.

Playing and cuddling with Miss Livie.
