His computer will not be an issue. YAY!
Had Mikey's middle school preview this evening. Teachers were all nice, no bad feelings about any of them, & his computer w
Had an appt with the GYN yesterday. About the endo. Ick. Well.... it's flared, and it's bad. She says that if the NuvaRing is still causing the emotional rollercoaster in a month, then we're gonna give up on it and her recommendation is a hysterectomy. I'm thinking if it isn't working, then we're gonna get rid of the ring, get rid of the IUD, and give me six months and if I get pregnant, YAY, if I don't, YAY, and we'll do the hysterectomy. Basically, we won't actively be TRYING to get pregnant, but we won't be actively trying to prevent it, either. Ashe is thinking about this, and as I told him, he's got a few weeks to think about it, as do I. And, if the ring is working, then this is just talk, because it's not gonna happen. This is just what I'm thinking if the ring DOESN'T work, and we go thru the emotional wreckage that we did last week when my period started again. Just something to think about.
And I feel bad about that. I've been having a great time over at Facebook, and have neglected my blogs (ALL of them!) horribly as a result. That, and I haven't really had a whole lot to write about.
Ok, I've come across this blog online at http://compactingmamas.blogspot.com, and I've decided to join the compact. here are the rules:
Though every pledge on the Compact is different, there are a few basic rules to follow:
You don't have to be a mom to join, but many of us are moms. And you don't have to have a blog to join, but if you want me to link to your blog I will.
Don't buy new! If you exempted the purchase in your pledge, then it's exempt. Outside of that, DON'T BUY NEW. There are natural exemptions to this rule including consumables like food and personal care items as well as health and safety items.
Barter, trade, buy used or go without.
Once you've made your pledge, post it on your blog and the Compacting Mamas blog.
Save one of the buttons on the sidebar to your blog's sidebar and link the button to this blog while providing a link to your pledge beneath the button.
Post to this blog at least monthly to share your experiences, challenges, thoughts and revelations on compacting.
If, for whatever reason, you didn't keep your compact, fess up here. Use the "OOPS!" button. Remember, we're here to support one another through all the aspects of compacting.
My Pledge:
I am doing this to help the environment by lowering the demand for new things to be made, as well as lowering the amount of waste created by my household. I am also doing this to help my children and myself to learn to differentiate between what we want and what we truly need. And to be completely satisfied with what we already own, instead of going out and buying new things because we're bored with what we have.
To avert the "I wants" I plan to avoid shopping websites, and stores like Target, and the mall. I will limit my shopping at WalMart to buying groceries, if I can not manage to bring myself to shop at the grocery store down the road. When I go out, I will leave my check card at home, to avoid any temptation to go shopping. I will talk to my husband about our spending habits, so as to have him help keep me on track.
Ok... my exemption are:
Shoes- I will not buy used shoes, it's just icky. They never fit quite right, and they're uncomfortable as all get out.Underwear- I know I'm gonna need new bras soon, just gotta get the money to get them.
A Wii or a PS3- I know, I know, I know that that's a horrible thing to exempt, but it's one of those things we were planning on getting w/ the taxes, and it got put aside. I should be getting money soon, so we can get it.
Necessities- Things like cleaning supplies, and a soaking jar for my moon pads. I really need the soaking jar.
Things that I will NOT buy:
Toys- The kids have a ton and a half toys, and do NOT need any more. And before I even THINK of buying more for them, I'm going to go through what we have and get rid of a bunch.
Clothes- I *REALLY* don't need any more. I have two bedrooms FULL of clothes that need washing before I even pretend to need more.
Jewelry- Any jewelry I *want* I can probably make for myself. I will exempt a butterfly necklace, as I've been looking for one for months.
Hair Stuff- Puh-LEEZE, I *really* don't need more clips/barrettes, or frills for my hair. I *might* need elastics, but not the frills. And I can probably make do without the elastics.
Cosmetics- unless I run out, which I shouldn't for a good long while
Junk food- THIS one's gonna be tough. I have a serious junk food addiction.
Fast Food- unless we're not home, and have no other option, and if we eat fast food, we will choose the healthiest possible options.
I will edit this more as I think of more.
I forgot to say that I'll be starting on 1 May.
Ok, is it just me, or do I seem to write in here only when I’m waiting for one sort of doctor or another? :-o Today, I’m in the waiting room at the VA for Pa. He’s having a colonoscopy done today. His second one, because they found a polyp that they couldn’t excise the last time he was in. L Not good. They don’t think it’s cancerous, but ya never know, right?
Later today, I have an appt w/ Dermatology. Fun fun fun Hey, at least I’m finally getting into the Derm clinic. I’ve been trying since we got up here to get in there. I need to get in and see someone about the cystic acne on my face and back. So, today should be relatively painless and quick. :D
Ashe is supposed to go out w/ ***HIM*** tonite. They’ll go to the Point as usual. :D Sounds like a good time. I’m staying home, because I’ve had vertigo the past few days. I’m doing okay at the moment, but I’m not taking chances. I do NOT want to have the world start spinning when I least expect it. JUST what I need to do, throw up all over the place, although, I haven’t felt nauseated with the vertigo. Just dizzy and fuzzy headed. NOT fun. Ashe is worried that it could be my heart doing it. Mom says it’s possible, too. But, it could also just be I’m going through withdrawals from the caffeine.
Sitting here in the waiting room, I’m being subjected to Jerry Springer. UGH!!! “Kung Fu Hillbilly” Goddess save me, please? I doubt it. What in the name of all things holy did I do to deserve being tortured by this?? I can’t STOP myself from watching this. Ugh. Crack TV? I guess. J Dad Southard would just be SCREAMING at the TV about now, I’m sure. They’re parodying Native Americans, badly. Ugh
I’m tired, I wanna sleep. I didn’t get to sleep until sometime after 2 this morning, Ashe woke me up when he got home at 4, and I got woke up by my alarm at 7:30. Round about 4 ½ hrs sleep. I’ve made do on fewer, tho. I’ll go to bed early-ish tonite, I guess.
Was reading back over some of what I wrote last Thursday (?) and remembered I have to go down and talk to GG about setting up an appt w/ Gardella sometimes soon so she can have her bitch fit over the fact I won’t take the injections anymore. I am not sorry, I can *NOT* handle the emotional side-effects to the injections. I can’t take being borderline suicidal for two or three weeks out of the month. NOT an option, know what I mean? It’s bad enough when I’m suicidal on my own, I don’t need a treatment for the endometriosis triggering suicidal feelings because I just wanna die to make it all stop.
I told Wendy about this when I was in there last week. She agrees with me that my being suicidal with the meds is a good reason to stop taking them. I just don’t like the emotional rollercoaster the injections put me on. It’s not worth the little bit of help I was getting from them. Hell, they weren’t even stopping my period the way they were supposed to. Hello? Wasn’t that the whole point of going ON the damn treatment? To stop my period so to stop the pain that accompanies my periods? So what’s the point of continuing the treatment if it’s not doing what it was supposed to?? There IS no point! Which IS my point. LOL Get the POINT? ROFLMAO
So, now we’re back to relying on the IUD for birth control. Fun fun fun At least I trust it. Hell, I’m tempted to have the damn thing removed, because I honestly don’t think I can conceive again. I think I’m infertile now. Hell, I’ve lost one fallopian tube, one ovary (on the same side, thank the Goddess). But, I honestly don’t think I can get pregnant again. L I want another one, but the chances of that happening get slimmer and slimmer every day. L

Ok, I’m done with my clinic now. I’m being put on an anti-biotic for the cystic acne and folliculitis. If the oral antibiotics take care of the problem when I return in two months, then we’ll start me on an antibiotic lotion.
We’re currently driving around to head for home, because we need to get Pa some food. Poor man hasn’t eaten since sometimes (noon, I think) on Saturday. So, he’s starving! He hasn’t had any coffee or Pepsi since then either. So he’s dying for something to eat or drink.
Ashe can’t believe that I can type and ride at the same time, but I can’t read and drive. It’s funny. I don’t know how it’s different, but it is.
Shortly after we dropped Pa off for his "procedure" I headed out to get this stupid heart monitor I have to wear for the next two weeks. 24/7 for the next two weeks. Fun fun fun fun fun!
Ok, so I don’t just write in here when I’m waiting for the doctor. Today, we’re at Kiana Lodge waiting for Ashe to have his all employee meeting that happens every three months. Yay. The only upshot to that is, A) I’m not at home with the parents, and B) **HE** might be at this one. They have the choice of the 1:30, an 8:00am or a 5:30 one this evening. So, there’s a chance that **he** might be at this one. IDK if they talked about what time they were going to last night, but… meh, I can hope, right? But, anyways, I’m sitting here with my computer and blog while Bubba watches Scooby Doo 2 on the van’s dvd player. J Happy Bubba. LOL
ROFL He’s YELLING at the movie! As if it’s gonna change this time (he’s seen it enough times he can recite some of the scenes and sing the songs on the soundtrack). “I can’t watch this one!” (translation from Bubba speak: “I can’t watch this part”) He’s an adorable little brat. Too cute for his own good sometimes. LOL
As usual, I’m tired. I didn’t get up until about 11:30, tho. Went to bed around midnight, maybe close to 1:00am, fell asleep sometime shortly thereafter. But, still I’m tired. As always. I don’t think I’m ever going to NOT be tired every again.
I just wish Ashe’s meeting would be done and over with already. Part of me wants to see *him* part of me is really hoping we DON’T see him.
