Just another busy week

Sometimes life just seems to spin out of control and there is nothing that I can do about it. I feel like I am in more control of life than I have been but it still feels overwhelming sometimes. Ah well, that's what makes life interesting. I am so excited to actually have a day off tomorrow so that I can get my house cleaned. I feel like I'm living in a barn at the moment! I plan on tackling a menu for the week so we don't have to go out very often. The problem with this plan is that I never want to cook!!! LOL!!! By the time I get a day off, I am so freaking tired that all I want to do is sleep. That's it..just crash and burn. Since I have this stupid cold thing, all I really want to do is sleep...but it's getting better and that's just fine with me.





So I got a new toy this last week. For the longest time I have wanted an iPod. I just have never had the money to get one. Well, since my awesome boss let's me have as much overtime as I can possibly stand, I was able to get one! So excited! I got an iPod touch with 32 gigs of memory! So freakin awesome!!!!!



That's my new toy!!! Isn't it pretty!!!??? LOL! Yes, I know i can be such a dork sometimes!!! I am such a music buff and having this makes work so much more interesting and fun! I love being able to look things up on the internet and listening to my kind of music instead of listening to other people's kind of music! I think I have downloaded over 150 songs to it already. And they are all legit downloads thank you very much! LOL!!!

So that's my exciting news for the week!

Oh, I forgot to mention my awesome job at Scentsy. I am having such a blast!!! I am almost to a certified consultant which means I will make more commission off of it. I only need $400 more. So exciting!!! So, if you are in the market for some Scentsy candles, let me know!! I will be happy to place an order for you!

Talk to you soon!

What a last few weeks!

Oh my goodness. It has been a crazy last few weeks. I am working non stop it seems like. I think in the last 4 weeks, I have only had like 3 days off. I am so busy but I'm loving it! I love my job so that makes things sooo much easier. I work with some awesome people and a great boss! I never realized how much that really does matter!

Anyway, I have been working crazy amounts of overtime. They either call me in or I volunteer to work. It just depends on how desperate they are! I was trying to have a week where I didn't have any overtime, but then I got a phone call and they were desperate for someone to work...that person was me! It's not that big of a deal. I was supposed to be off work on Thanksgiving too but then I found out that there was a bonus being offered...so naturally I snatched it up! I probably don't need to be working this much but the money is sooo nice. I haven't had to cook much which is nice but I am getting tired of eating out. I can only handle so many hamburgers from McDonalds you know!

My health hasn't been the best either. Not only have I been put on like 6 new medications, I am now facing the possibility of kidney failure. I'm in the beginning stages. Talk about a wake up call. I knew something was going on with my kidneys but everyone said that it was because my blood sugars were so high for so long...I knew that wasn't the case but they were doctors...they are supposed to know what's wrong right??? Whatever. Next time I'll just stick with my instincts and follow the Spirit. My doctor really wants me to go on this medication that has got me so freaked out. I am so lucky to have a bunch of residents in my ward so I went to my Elder's Quorum president, who is a 5th year resident, and between him and his brother, they came up with a couple of other medications that do the same things as the med that really has me freaked out. I think I'm going to talk to my doctor about trying those instead.

My kidneys aren't the only ones that are having problems. I can't seem to keep anything down and I have diarrhea so bad some days that it's just scary and I don't want to go anywhere. I'm wondering if my body is finally revolting against all the fried crap that we've been eating. I wanna try and take a few days off work and cook a ton of stuff that's healthy and yummy. Even if it's not like really really healthy, it's gotta be better than the fast food crap that we have been eating! So that's my goal for this next little while...trying to eat a little healthier!

So my husband is my hero! The man is almost done with his first semester of school. I am soo proud of him. He's averaging A's!!! He may have a few B's but I think that's completely ok!!!! I'm so proud. He finished his first aid class and got an A!!!! Go Sweehe! He is very proud of himself and I think that is totally awesome!

Well, hopefully life will start slowing down...although, I'm thinking that's not going to be very likely. I hope to be able to blog more often. I seem to be slacking at it again!!! I promise to be better!

Totally Overwhelmed

I am feeling totally overwhelmed this week. I have so much going on...So much overtime at work and just life seems to be spinning out of control. There is soo much that I want to do and get done. I have accomplished a few things this week that I really wanted to get done. I was able to get my bathroom and 3/4ths of my living room painted. I am so excited. The color in my living room is perfect. I love it!! It's like a light slate blue. It's perfect! Now the color in my bathroom is a little more yellow than I wanted. I was going for an orangish yellow and it's not the color I was hoping for....so I think i'm going to have to sponge some orange on top. I think that's what I am going to have to do to make it look like I want. But that's for another week...I'm just trying to make it through this month. After Christmas, when things are more calm, I will be able to get on with life much better.

So what has been going on lately...nothing much really. I have been working like crazy. I had about 40hrs of overtime in the last two weeks. I am exhausted...the paycheck before, I had 36 hrs of overtime. I have 20 next week. I am turning into a workaholic. I need the money in order for us to have enough money to pay bills and to get some of the things that we want for ourselves and the house. It's getting frustrating though because I am sooo tired lately. I went to the dr to see what is going on. I keep playing phone tag with the nurse practitioner....wonder what she wants to tell me....we shall hopefully find out this next monday.

So that's pretty much all I have gotten done this week. No new recipes or anything like that. I have just been coasting along trying to make things better for us!

I'll write more later when I have something interesting to say!
