March Happenings

Well it’s been way too long since I posted here. Things here in the Applegate home have been pretty good. Working my 50+ hours each week which is nice, I like the extra money and still working at home which I still love, even though at times I hate my job. It’s more that I hate some of the people I work with but I’m sure we all have those moments. Our family room is in the basement and we are contemplating moving it to the upstairs. The basement has no natural light and it seems so dark and dreary like a dungeon. So we figure it we move it upstairs we would get more natural light. I think we should just get more lights down here and draw windows on the wall with sunshine, ha ha ha. Paul’s been having fun going out a few times a week either poker or bowling with the guys. I tease him that he’s going on a curfew and only one outing a week. We are still trying to conceive but no luck. And I’m trying to get motivated to diet but so far that’s a no go. So here’s to hoping I can get back into this. Have a great day!

Calling Social Services…

Hubby and I went to Outback last night for dinner to celebrate his new job that he starts tomorrow. We got there at 4 and they were already booming. After about 5 minutes we finally received service and the waitress got out drinks. In the meantime I became aware of the somewhat loud, annoying soon to be party of 10 that was sitting next to us. The middle aged lady was running her mouth and the 30 something girl she was with didn’t sound much smarter. She had a child maybe a year old and this child just would not sit still. We all have been that age before, and we don’t like to be confined for long, we get bored and we need toys to entertain us. We proceed to order our meal and appetizer of cheesey fries. In the meantime the remainder of the party shows up next to us, one scarier than the other. I hear the one lady say I have 2 free bloomin’ onion certificates, when I was here last week you messed up my order and the manager gave me them, can I make one of them cheesey fries? The waitress says umm let me ask my manager. Of course I chuckle to myself because I think well if they wanted to give away a cheesey fry it would say cheesey fry or onion….LOL. At this point we are thinking gosh we’ve been here awhile where are ours. The waitress swings by and says did you get your fries? And I’m thinking do we look like we have fries? We nodded no and she says let me go find out, the guy back there says you had them. So she disappears for another 15 minutes still no fries. In the meantime we hear the 1 year old start crying loud. And I look over to see the 30 something mom lifting her in the air and roughly cramming her back in the seat. Someone at the table says what happened, and her response was she climbed out of her seat and fell. OMG you don’t have her buckled in the voice in my head is screaming. I wanted to reach over and smack her. Stupid people like you don’t deserve to have a child. Not only are you being negligent by not buckling her in, you shove her back in and don’t comfort her after falling. Our fries finally come. I no more and put one in my mouth and there is our dinner. WTF? The manager comes by and apologizes and says he’ll take them off our order since there was a problem with our ticket. That was nice. It was next to impossible to get refills, my broccoli was cold, and waiting for the check took forever, but all in all it was a nice visit.

I just want the chicken…..

So I go to get us lunch today and hubby wants KFC.  He wanted the new Original Spice chicken strips.  For $3.99 you get 3 strips, a biscuit and a side.  If you want a drink or a second side you pay and extra dollar.  So she tells me my total and hands me a cup and I said I don’t want a drink.  She said oh it’s included.  I said no your sign says $3.99, if I want a drink I pay another dollar.  She says but you get a drink.  I said you don’t understand, I don’t want a drink, I don’t want to pay a dollar for a drink.  She gave me this blank stare and I said I’m not sure how else to say this, I only want food, NO DRINK!  She finally pushed a few buttons and viola $3.99.   IDIOTS!

Taking a Test

Well hubby and I have been trying for some time to get pregnant no luck.  About 4 years ago we saw a fertility doctor.  Hubby came back normal my ovaries came back not so good.  They are the right size and all but I just don’t make good sized eggs and I don’t ovulate, so no menstrual cycles.  He decided I had PCOS, a repeat diagnois I was handed at 13.  We did several rounds of Clomid, ultrasounds but no luck.  Then my GYN decided let’s try Metformin, it is used for people with PCOS.  It did nothing and I’ve been on it 2 years.  I’ve always battled with my weight too.  Well after 2 years and nothing I switched GYN doctors.  He did a whole battery of lab work on me, did a vaginal and pelvic ultrasound.  My sugar was good, cholestorol not bad, testosterone okay, my DHEA was kind of high and before he writes off on PCOS as a dx I had blood work done again today to test the renals and my DHEA again and then I have to have an ultrasound of my adrenal glands and I have to do a 24 urine test to review the cortisol levels in my urine.  So they sent me home with a cute bowl to pee in and the collection container.  He wants to make sure I don’t have Cushing Syndrome So wish me luck that I pass my test
