Found a website that I am going to share with Princess when I have my surgery at the end of May. Yes I am going to be in pain..but hopefully the outcome will be worth the agony.

(Click on start for the Virtual hip replacement surgery. )
Tell me what you think of the site? Anyone else out there under the age of 45 who has had hip replacement?

work
Sometimes working from home has distinct disadvantages......
"No work allowed..you must pet me instead."
" You call that work..hah..I could do that if I had thumbs.."Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Know what
Know what really ticks me off.
Typing a letter while listing to a doctor yammer on and on....only to have her pause and then tell me to disregard the letter. PISSES ME TOTALLY OFF!!!!!
Especially because I get paid by the line..so the time I just spent typing those damn words she just rambled, I just wasted. I get paid NOTHING for dealing with that bull crap.
If you are a doctor or happen to love one please ask them to THINK before you start to do your dictation. Are you sure that this person needs a letter? Do you have a clue what you want to say.
There is a real live person who has to listen to your conversations with other people, listen to your snotty nose, listen to your pager or cell phone ring, listen to you eat your lunch, listen to you yell at your kids, sometimes listen to you go pee, and especially listen to your mouse click while you are checking your e-mail or surfin' the net. I would love to surf the net but I can't. Don't waste my time listening to you do it while you think of what you want to say about Jane Doe's hip pain.
GRRRRRR....

just not in the mood
Not sure if it is because I have been sick for the past week or what but I am just not in the mood.
Not in the mood for Christmas. We have yet to get a single decoration up. Still don't have our tree yet. Maybe this weekend.
Not in the mood for working. Tired of my fat ass sitting in this chair for many hours each day and the paycheck not reflecting the work that goes into it. Would actually much rather be at the gym getting a smaller ass believe it or not.
Not in the mood to blow my nose or wash my hands anymore. Nose is raw and hands are cracked and actually bled this morning cause they are so dry.
Not in the mood to go to the post office and deal with stupid people, so meanwhile my dear sister's birthday present sits here. Maybe, I'll just wait and if she ever wants to visit her cranky ass sister, she will have it waiting for her..LOL.
Not in the mood to send Christmas cards. Have them sitting here staring at me and actually have stamps so I would not have to deal with the post office.
Not in the mood to drive another mile. Drove over 70 miles yesterday alone between going to the orthopaedic surgeon and dropping off or picking up the kid at school.
Not in the mood to think about cooking dinner. Tired of food but have to feed the child.
Not in the mood for this rain. Like the somewhat "warmer" temps but dislike the rain. Need some sun.
Just not in the mood. Ever have a day like this?

death bed no more
Well after 5 days of feeling like I should be asking for Lillies for Christmas, I am finally able to feel somewhat human today.
I felt like Pigpen from Charlie Brown..but instead of dirt, I had a cloud of toxic germs floating around me. I have had the snot factory in overdrive, coughing up a lung or two, plugged ears, swollen neck glands, and more aches and pains than I ever thought possible. So tell me..why did I get that flu shot this year?
Anyway...after dealing with it for four days, I finally took myself off to the Docs yesterday. He is a wonderful doctor. I think family doctors are great people who deserve much more love and kindness. After listening to my tachycardic heart, looking in my inflamed ears, feeling my swollen neck, he said..."Yep..you're sick". LOL.. Thanks doc..that will be 20 bucks right? LOL. So now I am on 10 days of antibiotics since my immune system is crap anyway and can't seem to do it's job completely and also on Mucinex DM. BTW..those Mucinex commercials are gross..really gross.
So after sleeping for over 14 hours and being on the meds, I think I am beginning to feel like a real person now.
Moral of this story..wash your hands more than you ever though possible, stay away from sick people, buy stock in Mucinex, and hug your family doctor!

Hopefully to help a friend
"Before I Was A Mom"
Before I was a Mom I made and ate hot meals.I had unstained clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone.
Before I was a Mom I slept as late as I wanted. And never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was Mom I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to lullabies.
Before I was a Mom I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on, peed on, or pinched by tiny fingers.
Before I was a Mom I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts, my body and all my feelings. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was OK.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much............before I was a Mom.

December 1
So it's December first and I feel like CRAP..I mean complete and total crap. I was up all night with a loverly sinus infection. Now I am running a 101 fever but I still have to work. I so wish I had a job that allowed me to take paid sick days. Of course that would mean having a schedule which I don't like either. I know..bitch..bitch..bitch..LOL.
Oh..and Misty decided that the hallway was too busy for her this morning to get to the bathroom so she decided to use the laundry basket sitting in front of the washer as her litter box. Luckily there was only the towel that we used to dry the dog off with in there. Damn cat.
Honey went to pick up Princess and get something for dinner, so maybe I should go crawl back into bed for a bit.
