This last week hasn't been as busy as the past week was. 
On the 13th Anthony had football practice. The coach told us that the team wouldn't be scrimmaging during half time of the high school game. He wasn't sure what the reason was as to why but that we wouldn't be doing it. The kids could still get in for free if they wore their jerseys.  Jodi, my sister, had surgery on her shoulder. She is recovering well, but still in pain.

Friday: We decided not go to the football game because Anthony was starting to lose his voice and Dawn, my sister, and her family came to spend the weekend. Tinneille, my niece, and I decided that we would take Lakeysha, my other niece, to see a movie. Lakeysha picked 50/50 to go see. It was amazing! Such a good movie. It was a softer side to such a serious subject, cancer.  We had a great time!

Saturday: My mom wanted to take all the grand kids to get pumpkins since they were all free today. Anthony had a bye week with football but Austin didn't. So after Austins game we all headed to the Berry Patch in Nevada. Once we got there, Tinneille also showed up. We all got on a hey ride to the pumpkin field. We took tons of pics all of them are on my facebook page if you wanna see them.  All the grand kids got pumpkins. The only two that weren't there, Treaver and Brian, also got one.  Then grandma and grandpa paid for those then we went to pick raspberries.  As we were getting ready to leave Erin, my sister-in-law, offered to come over and fix supper. We don't all get together very often so it sounded like a great idea.  Once we got to mom and dad's house Justin, my brother, played football with Austin, Anthony and Jason Jr. All the kids played outside and had a blast.  If you know anything about my family you know that this doesn't happen like this! Someone almost always fights so this was great!  Oh yeah Mitch, Tinneille soon to be hubby, showed up after he got done with drill (he's national guard). I started to have pain again took some mes but it didn't help really. Dawn and I  made Apple Pie Cupcakes, everyone said they were good.  Everyone kinda went home at the same time. It was an all around GREAT day!

Sunday: FOOTBALL!!! That explains my day!

This pic is from the game I missed when I was in the hospital.  My lil man is so cute!

Monday: I took Jeff to ITT Tech where he is going to go to school. He enrolled and we don't have to pay for anything, the Army and grants are gonna pay the whole thing. 

Tonight Anthony has football practice. He has a game on Saturday, its his second to last game! I was nervous at the beginning of football but know that its almost over I don't want it to be. I guess because football is my favorite sport to watch. But that's ok basketball is next and both kids want to play.  Anthony might join wrestling but we are waiting to here back from them as to when it starts. If wrestling overlaps with basketball Anthony will have to chose. 
In other news I called and got an appointment to see a doctor about having my tubes untied! God I hope they can do it! I so want a baby and so do both the kids. That appointment will be on November 2nd. Ill be sure to update after that appointment for sure!

October 12

WOW This has been a crazy 9 days!!  Lets start where we left off...Alyssa had an eye appointment. We got to her eye appointment and it hadn't been a year, we were 3 days shy of a year. But because it hadn't been a year the insurance wouldn't cover it so we had to reschedule.

Wednesday (the 5th) was uneventful, at least what I remember lol.

Thursday Anthony had football practice he works so hard! Hes such a great athlete! Doctor called and said my ultrasound was normal. So she didn't know why I was having pain.

Friday the kids went to their dad's. The person Jeff sold his car to, like 3 months ago, finally decided to pay us some money so we decided to go to a movie. We went to see Real Steel, it was really good. With about 30 minutes left I started getting a really bad pain in my left pelvic area. It was so bad that after the movie was over Jeff took me to Methodist. We got there about 11:45 pm. They did blood work, urine sample and started an IV. All that was normal so they did a CT scan, they found that I had a blockage in my small intestine and gull stones so I was admitted. 

Saturday I had to call Anthony and explain to him that I couldn't be at his game because I was in the hospital. He was a lil upset. At about 10 am I had to go have xrays done while drinking some contrast. The contrast was so disgusting I kept throwing it back up. At noon they decided to send me back up to my room to finish it. It took me until 5 pm to finish that crap! They came to my room and took the xray. Anthony called me to tell me about his game. I could tell he missed me being there.

Sunday I had to go have a follow up xray. The blockage had passed so they went ahead and discharged me.  The rest of my day was pretty uneventful.

Monday: Kids had dentist appointments, both have great teeth. Alyssa's thumb sucking is not hurting her teeth, Yay! I was in a lot of pain all day. At bed time I couldn't sleep at all. At midnight Jeff decided he was going to take me back to the hospital.

Tuesday: We got to Methodist about 1:30 am, They started an IV did blood work and urine, again. There was blood in my urine so they did another CT scan because they thought I had kidney stones. Results: no kidney stones. That doctor had no idea what it could be. A new doctor came in and he decided to do a pelvic exam. As soon as he touched my cervix I kicked and almost got him lol. Then he went to my left and the same pain. He said it was an infection. So gave me a script and sent me home! Left at 8:50am! Then spent the day sleeping. Then took Anthony to football practice. I was crashed before 9pm!

Today:  Dang I'm exhausted just reliving my past 9 days lol. Alyssa's eye appointment was today, she has more the perfect vision. Alyssa is going to eat tacos with my niece and her boyfriend. Anthony wanted to go but wants to stay with me.....I think he likes me lol. 

Well that's all for today. Man, I wont be going that long without blogging again!
Have a great day!

Alyssas overnighter went great! The carmel apples we made werent really carmel apples (i forgot the sticks) Alyssa and her friend just had to dip their apples into the melted carmel. Oh and before they ate apples they made their own pizzas. They turned out pretty good.

After Alyssas friend went home and Anthony came home from his overnighter we went to Keokuk to visit Jeffs family. Kids were so excited to see Nana and all the rest of the family. We spent Sunday watching football of course!  Surprisenling this isnt longer then what it is since I havent been on here for a few days.
Today has been busy, had physical therapy for my shoulder, then had an ultrasound for my pain in my pelvic, then got kids from the bus. Grandma is visiting before she goes into hybernation for the winter(yes shes like a bear). Now watching more football (Go Colts)!
Tomorrow will be just as busy, Alyssa has an eye appointment and Anthony has football practice.
