Life got in the way

I haven't posted in a really long time. May has been supercrazybusy, and I haven't finished many weeks of project life.

Evan had the stomach flu for 9 days and missed an entire week of school.

We had a garage sale.

Then I started feeling not so great, in addition to the busy.

My vision was getting very blurry, and my head felt like I took a monster dose of Benadryl and couldn't shake it off.

So I went to the doctor today and was diagnosed with diabetes.

Awesome. 

Another thing to overcome in 2012.

Luckily, I know that with time and dedication I can get off the new medications I've added to my repertoire, and that I can go back to eating the things I like in moderation. I'm just so tired today. I want to not be so damned tired all the time.

I plan to work on PL the next few days and then post. I really want to keep up with this project.

In the meantime, here is a cool photo of my kid playing soccer.

M.I.A.

I've got a bad case of the Februaries.

Not to mention a sinus infection. Came up on me superfast. A little bit of sneezing and then a monster headache with incredible pressure for 2 days. Viola, sinus infection made to order. My head feels like it's filled with quick drying cement, and overall I just feel like crap. Haven't felt like doing anything...knitting hurts, reading hurts, laying down hurts. You know you are pathetic when laying down hurts. I've oficially crossed the line.

Already the week has gone to hell in a handbasket. I haven't made out the meal plan. I haven't shopped. I can't really taste anything nor do I have much of an appetite, so cooking just seems pointless. Bart is doing the South Beach diet, so he isn't eating with us anyway. The days have been grey and cold; each day just flows into the next in one long stream of boredom.

I really hate February.

The only saving grace has been watching the Olympics, which I have been whenever I can. Yesterday Evan stayed home from school and we watched the snowboard cross and pairs' figure skating from the night before. The problem with watching with a boy is that he wants to fast forward through all the stuff I want to watch. After 2 pairs, he was done with figure skating and would have watched just about anything else. Heathen.

I just found out that my cousin Reagan is pregnant with a boy, due in September. That brings the total to 4 baby boys I know born in 2010. Julie, I think maybe the odds are with you!

Later!

rainy rainy rainy Friday

It has done nothing but rain for two solid days here. I have no exciting pictures to share, so I thought I'd post one of Ben. It's been awhile since he has graced the blog. Ain't he cute? Being a lover of rain, he has logged about 15 hours of sleep today, so far. It's a tough life.

I do have one piece of exciting news, and you aren't going to believe it! Hold on to your butts!

We only have one game to go to all weekend.

Somehow the planets alligned and the schedule cleared, and we are left with one Sunday morning football game. And AND it's an away game, but located just down the street from us. Anyone who has ever had a son in football knows what game day is like. For the rest of you, here's a rundown: players must be at the field no less than one hour & 45 minutes before scheduled kick-off. You must then figure out your travel time and plan accordingly so that your player isn't late. Then you get to sit around and twiddle your thumbs until the game starts. For home games, we just drop Ev off and go home until it's game time. Not so easy for travel games. This week, it's a delight. Except if it rains. Then it won't be so delightful :p

Have a good weekend y'all! Stay dry and or warm wherever you are!
