Things you may not want to do

When you go throughout the day to day, suddenly you realize that too many years have passed and your parents are getting older.  Unfortunately for me, my father passed away so it's just the one parent I am speaking of. Parents need tender loving care when they are older because a lot has changed since they did the things we do on a normal basis; for example, buying a car.  Now we seem to know better but because they are stubborn, they still know best.

So, my friends I will be walking around a dealership tomorrow being harassed by the salesmen left and right but mother knows best. 

Could I say no, sure I could say no but she is my mother and put me on this earth and we do what we have to for our parents.  All I can do is be there to try to fend off the annoying bloodsuckers as long as possible.  (I hope none of you are car salesmen).  The way the world is, or the way it should be is that the mother gives birth and takes care of the young and then they fly off into the world to do as they will.  But there comes a time when the mother needs to be taken care of from the young they cared for.  Well, my time is coming slowly but surely.

Cure for boredom

How many of you have ever gone to bed because you are bored?  How many of you ever picked on your significant other because you were bored.  Well let me give you some advice about what not to do do when you are bored.  See Paranormal Activity .  If you are of the light hearted, especially with ghosts, don't see that movie.  They made it seem like the Blair Witch, where it looked like real footage of hikers getting lost and the witch comes after them.  Well I was scared out my wits because we have had some spooky ghost type stuff at my house.  It looks like it would be real footage and Paramount says in the beginning thanks for the tapes from the family...but my husband looked up some information and it said that the people were actors and so on.  So I refuse to believe that it was real.

The other scary movie I ever saw was The Exorcism of Emily Rose and that was based on a true story.  THese ghost stories are the only movies that scare me.  Oh and The Ring made me jump a bit.  Otherwise, these days scary movies are for a good laugh and a cure for boredom.  Anyone agree?

Can I have a popsicle?

For some odd reason for the past two days, I've been feeling a bit under the weather.  I feel completely run down like I have no energy.  Also, I've slept most of the day and night.  So am I gettig sick?

Whenever I am sick I eat popsicles like they might not sell them anymore.  I don't think I am going to write anymore tonight because it's back to bed.

Too many hours in a day

Today I got home about 6:30am since I had been at that sleep study.  That is way too early for me. That meant I had hours in the day to do stuff.  Weird!?  I normally get up a little later than that.  Well I threw a roast in the crockpot and cooked it for 10 hours and guess what, we had meat for burritos or tacos or whatever.  I'm telling you, this recipe is awesome because you can eat for days on that meat and you can do so much with it.  Watch when the roasts go on sale.

Instead of making burritos, I made rolled tacos.  And what we do is cover them with homemade tomatillo salsa, a fresh pico de gallo, Mexican cheese, avocado and sour cream.  They are delicious.  For full recipe of the beef, let me know.  Dinner was muy delicioso and super easy.

But Im happy to be laying in bed with the laptop because of the pain in my neck and too much to do when there are too many hours in the day.  I much prefer getting up a little later. :)

Awake from sleep

Well I'm back from the sleep study.  THAT was an interesting experience. The room was really nice and the bed was nice and cushy but they connect you with wires everywhere so how can they expect you to sleep comfortably.  Also, they had me take my nightly meds and then they put me in bed and told me they wanted me to be asleep within about 20 minutes or so. 
Firstly, I don't sleep well in other places.  Secondly, I usually read or write before I go to sleep.  I told the man I would read and for him to come back and turn the light off because I'd probably be asleep in 20 minutes.  Well, I couldn't get comfortable to hold my book so I took out my IPOD ( I had to get permission cuz the music would send brain waves) and thank goodness to Sarah McLachlan because I fell asleep.
I must have woken up the first time about an hour or so later sweating and music still going.  I just said my tech's name and he came in to make adjustments.  I had to stay cool because otherwise the wires wouldn't pick up the right signals so we had to remove a blanket and he had to lower the temperature in the room.  Plus, he had to disconnect me so I could use the restroom. 
That is the way the night went.  Everytime I woke up I had to call him and he would come in to disconnect me so I could use the restroom.  But see here is the thing, he knew I had woken up and that I was sweating before I did.  I woke up about 4 times throughout the 7 hours even though I was restrained by the wires. Also, since I had the injections in my neck on Friday, my neck was killing me so I had to tell him I was going to take another pain pill.  It was a comfortable room though: private bathroom with shower, private TV. It wasn't an alltogether bad experience.  He woke me up at 5:30 and disconnected me.  Then I was allowed to go home. I am interested to hear the results.
So now I am wide awake way earlier than normal with pain still from the procedure on Friday. But the sleep study is out of the way, which I am glad.  Updates to follow.

I hate waiting

So here I am waiting.  My neck hurts from the procedure on Friday so I want to lie down and take a nap.  But I have the sleep study tonight so I can't take a nap.  I'm not feeling well so I don't really feel like doing anything but wait.  I have three hours left before I have to leave.  My bag is packed.  At some point I have to cook dinner but that is all.  I can't wait for this night to be over.
You know, before I think I was kind of excited but now I'm irritated that it's ruling everything for the day.
