Tautologic Tuesday

It's been a day.  So ..... again I'm struggling so freaking hard to wake up in the morning.  I actually went to sleep at a decent time last night (between 11:30 and midnight) and I was so cold this morning and just zero energy.  Nauseated.  Just drained.  D.R.A.I.N.E.D.   DB is worried about me, and I am too.  My body just feels so warn down.  It's crazy.  Coo-coo-bird.  I just don't know how to explain it really.  I feel like I'm just .....  fighting everything.

This is just what I have to deal with ....

But 1pm I finally am awake enough to function.   I have insomnia at night and I feel like I sleep away the day - which I hate!!  I slept over 12 hours really today.  Not.Cool.

But eventually - had to get up, get dressed.  Plan was 1: Take Kaedyn to the DR to make sure he doesn't have strep.  With what I believe is a bad cold kicking his butt all through spring break (from Easter to now) ... I wanted to make sure it's not more than what I think it is.  2: I am going into urgent care about this crazy freaking numbness and sharp pains I'm having.   3: Grocery Store.  4: Home

So we left a little late .... and we met the road head on with a good rain  but then something silly started to happen.  We started getting pelted with ice pellets ... aka: Hail.   Apparently the weather man here doesn't know what hail is.

So instead of announcing (after the fact I might add) ... of heavy rain and "ice pellet storm" .... um.  This is how rare hail is here?

So anyway - OBVIOUSLY our little rain storm turned into a hail storm or why would I be bringing it up - right?

So - for those of you who know the terms Hail and Sleet and don't know the difference....  Hail is ice pellets (dur) and Sleet is rain and snow mixed (a slushy snow) ...

This was hail, fo' sure ....  We actually had to pull over because it was literally pelting the van so bad I thought we'd have damage, it was covering the roads making them slick .... and it was just CRAZY how it came down ....

Just a little FYI ....  cuz I am a homeschooling mom! LOL

Notice - there really isn't much hail that falls in my part of Washington and when there is, it's really not a lot.  It's not like today.

So we had a little itty bitty tornado here (in my last blog there is a picture, it actually hit our town, where we live) ...  and now this - today?   Go home Washington Weather - You are DRUNK.

But we finally  made it to the Pediatrician's office about 15 minutes late.  But I walked in going "OMGosh you should have seen the hail storm we were just in, we had to pull over.."  blah blah blah.  So they still took us back.  Thankfully - I was right, he just has a really nasty cold and no strep.  But we left the DR and he was all "my  stomach hurts" and then "my throat hurts" later tonight....

Fish at the DR....

We were in a new room, first time seeing this.....

He waited patiently ....  at this point I was like "Kaedyn don't laugh" and he totally did....

Then we went to my DR.  Basically I brought up the whole fact that my right side from my ribs to my hip is constantly without stop - numb.  I run into numbness issues for a few days - but usually it corrects itself.  Usually it's involving my hands, from what I assume is my carpal tunnel.  I also have been having an increase of really sharp stabbing pains in various places.   Basically - the DR pushed and prodded me - made me jump from pain here and there - but she said "it's a pinched nerve somewhere" ... that's it.  That's all she offered me.  I'm not exactly happy about that.  I feel ...  like that's not it.  I feel like it's either my diabetes or the Fibro/CFS or something ...  I just don't think it's .... a pinched nerve.  So I have to figure out my next step here.  I feel like I have something else going on and not really ready to say it out loud yet.  But I might have to come to terms with my thoughts and fears on the issue and push it to find out if I may or may not have it.

After the DR appt.

Pretty ....

I took all these photos on our way home.  I absolutely LOVE where we live.  Love it.  LOVE IT.  It's funny because one of my friends (Sarah, not the skanky one) .... and I talked about moving out here ALL the time during and after highschool.  It's funny now though ....  she's in Seattle and I'm here.

A few of them bigger ....

Rainbow after the storm....

Someone was sleepy ...

Ordered Nathan's cake.  he's going to be 8 this weekend!!

I asked Cal to do some stuff today - a lot of stuff... so I got him two of his favorite things.

FUNNY STORY ...

went to the grocery store ....

Kaedyn was with ...

Went to pay and put in my pin number and ............

Kaedyn goes (says my pin number) .... and I looked down at him and I said "you pay attention too much" and everyone laughed...  Then he was like saying it all over again, said it three times I think.  He goes "I know it now, can I put it in next time?"   Oye....

We got home and Kaedyn came into the bedroom with me because he wasn't feeling good.  So I went to take a picture of him and he curled up into a ball and covered his face - apparently he didn't want his picture taken.  So I just said "Fine, I'll take a picture of myself...." knowing him, he would totally photobomb me... which he totally did.  Mom: 1 - Kaedyn: 0  ....   (the pics below, the order was actually lower right, lower left, then the upper one.)

And then there was this thing.....  Noah's almost as tall as me!!  WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!?!?!  This is NOT ALLOWED.  I don't like this at all.

Nathan is earning his geek card. Duel monitors.   Youtube and Minecraft, always ....

DB and I finally got to watch last night's Scorpion.  I did not like it AT ALL.  This was the best part of the show, but the ending SUCKED!
