Fluid huh....ya don't say.....

Well as I have mentioned before I am a big klutz or is it clutz or who knows anyway, I have fallen and landed on the same hurt knee about 4 times in the past month and a half. Not to mention the numerous times in the past 5 years that I have fallen on it. Anyway, this time the swelling has not gone down. So I go to the doctor today, which was the first time seeing this doctor and I really like him by the way, he is a nice doctor. Anyway he says "well you've got quite a bit of fluid on that knee". And asked me if it hurt which it doesn't really hurt that much as long as I'm not like sitting on my knees or anything, but what the hell would I be doing "on my knees" anywho! Get your minds out of the gutter!! So he order an xray to make sure nothing is fracture and if in 4 weeks the fluid has not gone down, then he will have to ....drain it! Yikes doesn't sound nice or painless. Speaking of xrays, I wonder how many is just too many. I mean I have had so many I am afraid I may start glowing from radioactivity......So far just THIS year, yes the past almost 4 months, I have had an xray on my elbow, my foot, my heal, my knee, and now my knee again! All except for the heal where due to me being "graceful as a cow" as my dear cousin Amy use to always say. BTW, Happy Birthday to Andrea Rae, the newest addition to our family born March 29, 2005. Way to go Amy! Well that is all for today......

Soulmates......truth or fiction

Lately I have been wondering about the whole "true love" / "soulmate" thing. Is there really a perfect someone out there for everyone? I have had MORE than my fair share of Mr. Not Quite Rights. It seems only fair that my Mr. Right should be finding his way into my life soon. I'm not getting any younger ya know. I often find myself wondering if maybe I'm the problem. Me, the same person who is always wanting people to look past my imperfections, (read: my weight). I often find myself thinking maybe he isn't good enough, or cute enough, or whatever the case may be. Or even if they seem to be a wonderful person, but say they don't have a car. Should that be a reason not to date them? In one way I think yes, they should be self-sufficient and have something to "bring to the table". In another way I think maybe I am being materialistic to think that if they don't have a car, or a great paying job then despite being a wonderful person inside, they don't deserve my time. Sometimes I think what if I am looking right past my "soulmate" just because someone might say he isn't "good enough". I know I know, who cares what others think, you have to listen to your heart/inner self/whatever the case may be. Here lays my problem. I can not for the life of me make a decision on basically anything without consulting someone in my life for insight. It is my biggest downfall. I am such a baby. I am so afraid of making the wrong choice. Which I don't know why because I have made A LOT of bad choices in my day. I let others influence my decisions way too much. And I have totally lost where I was going with this entry. Oh, right, soulmates. Well one thing I know is I am soooooo ready to meet my soulmate. I want to be "in love" and to be loved back. It has been a long time since I have truely been in love. That has to be the greatest feeling in the world. Maybe I will know it again one day soon......who knows.

Weekend Update.....

Doh, being new to this whole blog thing, I just typed a rather long entry and decided to preview, I then hit the back button when I was done to continue writing, and you all probably know what happened, yep, I lost it. So here we go again.......in a much shorter format:

Friday: Kids, Magic house, wine, lots and lots of wine......good times
Saturday: Science Center, cops, Top Shooters, darts, beer.....
Sunday: Easter, egg hunt, food, family and friends....

And now on to today. Back at work, loving the heck out if it......yeah right. It is beautiful outside today. I went to the car wash on lunch and washed my car because I am pretty much convienced the words "PUBLIC RESTROOM" are writting atop my roof in bird language.....saw Dee at the car wash, he accused me of "stalking him", he only wishes I was.....

Not much else to say today......ta ta!!

Oh so sick......

I feel like total CRAP today. My stomach is just bubbling, I am running to the bathroom about every 10 mins. and I have the worst nausea ever!! I know TMI, but what can I say. Plus to top it all off, I am stuck at work. Until 9:00 tonight......it is only 2:30 now. I have no idea how I am going to make it. I called my supervisior to see about getting a temp over here, I don't know if it will work out or not. I hope so bad it does. This has not been a good day.

Movin' on Up......hopefully

Got a call today from a law firm that I sent my resume to a few months ago...they have another secretarial opening and I have an interview on Thursday!!! Whewwww Whoooo! Thanks to Nina who also works there for the good word!!! I wouldn't have to work nights anymore, and I would be gone from this place I dread coming to EVERYDAY!! I am really excited if you can't tell. I hope everything works out and I get the job. Wish me luck......

Where did the weekend go????

Weekends go by way to fast! Seems like I didn't even get a break from the job I love oh so much. Anyway. This was a pretty dull weekend. Gigi and I hung out a little Friday night, mostly visiting with her "babydaddy", nothing exciting. Saturday I went to a wedding and reception pretty uneventful. Left the reception pretty early and thanks to my favorite Nina, had an evening sans child!!! It was a great break!! Sunday Gigi and Chrissy called and I went and played bingo with them. Of course they both won, and I, as usual, did not win a dime. Oh well. It was still about the most fun I had all weekend.....yes bingo was the highlight of my weekend.....what am I 50? Oh well......

Beginning of the blog.....

So I have become addicted to reading everyone elses blogs and decided, I too need a place to voice all my anger, excitment, confusion, along with the day to day drama that always seems to find its way into my life. It's seems I am always saying "what next?" What else could possibly go wrong in my life. At least I have a good scense of humor, and most of the time I can laugh about my daily mishaps otherwise I would surely be jumping off a bridge somewhere. I'm sure in the days to come all will get to read about some of the things that make me say "What the hell????"

Now a few things about me:

1. I am the biggest clutz!
2. I fall almost daily
3. I am a single mom
4. To a 6 year old boy
5. He is the best thing to ever happen to me
6. He is very spoiled
7. It is only partly my fault
8. My parents spoil him more
9. I live 10 mins from of St. Louis, MO
10. But in Illinois
11. I'm addicted to reading blogs
12.I have very curly hair
13. I recently learned about a hair straightner
14. Now I surprise people when the see me with straight hair
15. I have 1 sister, 23, and 1 brother, 16.
16. I dislike my job very much
17. But I'm too scared to go somewhere new
18. I dream of living in NYC
19. But again I probably will never get the courage to up and move
20. That is all for now......
