Yesterday was quite a day!
By Lara | July 1, 2009
If you follow me on Twitter, facebook, or are a member of Moms of Faith, then you know we have been dealing with sickness…again over the past month. My oldest is on a missions trip to Guatemala and comes home tonight…YEAH!!!!
LOL…OK…Well, I am finally at about 80% health wise. My little one, however, needed to go to the doctor yesterday…and that is where my story begins…
About an hour before we had to leave, I was making something to eat. I had turned the burner off and moved on to the next task. Without thinking, I accidentally put the butter lid on hot burner then picked it up and the HOT melted plastic got stuck under my fingernail…I reacted with OUCH and flinging the lid in the air so it could now land on my other hand’s thumb! DOUBLE ouch! Between the heat and trying to get the plastic off, I gave myself a couple nasty burns.
My twitter friends were filled with awesome tips and I applied a few of them.
Could not moan and groan about it though, time to take little one to the pediatrician!
Off I go…painfully getting her in the car seat and dealing with BOTH hands with burns.
We arrive at the doctor to find a gloriously (she said sarcastically) looooong wait. When we finally got back with the doctor, we find out that my poor little honey has a double ear infection! She never even complained about her ears! She is like super girl. Her doctor and I joke about it. She could be dying with sickness and still run around. I swear, she will give birth naturally when baby time comes…ROFLMBO!
OK, back to my wonderful day….(again, she said sarcastically)…
We finish up with the doctor and off to the pharmacy we go. Again a gloriously looong wait. My fingers hurt, my little one is whining, we are both hungry and of course it is pouring rain. Fabulous.
After a long wait, the pharmacist calls me back to inform me that the doctor did not put how much med mg or how much dosage. AHHHHHHHHHHH! Now, she has to call and get info. More waiting…and waiting. Doctor’s office is not calling back. I had to call them and kick their butts in gear. They FINALLY call the pharm. Give the info and now I need to wait for her to make it.
As you can imagine, I am with a child who is NOT well and really NOT happy about waiting. LOL. What fun!
The pharmacist finishes up and it’s time to pay for the prescriptions…she tells me the bill ($96.20) and I almost faint. HUH? I say…how is that? We NEVER pay that much. The antibiotic was SIXTY bucks! We never pay more than $20 with our insurance. And the bottle was HUGE. The dosage was insane as well…I told the pharmacist something was not right. She said she verified with doctor…I said hmmm…OK…reluctantly paid and asked her to please call the doctor again. I am not giving my daughter this without another confirmation…gave her my number and left.
After a phone call from doctor, am told its the right dosage…I say…REALLLY??? For a 37 pound child?? LIGHT BULB goes on with beloved doctor (not her normal do either…I forgot to mention we got stuck with a nurse practitioner) head….37 pounds?? Let me call you back.
GRRRRR
She prescribed my little one with meds for a 76 pound child!!!!!!!!
Now it’s 7:30pm…still trying to get dinner on table during all this…now I must go BACK to pharmacy, get new meds and credit…
Whew…
Finally ate dinner at 8:30.
Lesson: TRUST your gut. God gave us Mother’s intuition for a reason!

Falling Behind Stinks!
By Lara | April 9, 2009
Well, with all that has happened over the past few months, I am behind…to say the least. It stinks. I do not even know where to begin! I am thinking about refunding some clients and taking a load off my mind…AHHHH! I need chocolate!

Real Bummer
By Lara | April 8, 2009
Well…my TV decided to be wonky and not ta right. I missed my favorite idol, Danny Gokey and my second fav, Adam Lambert’s performance! What a bummer. I did go Online last night and found Danny’s…but it wasn’t the same as watching it on TV. The dumb video would not stay loaded properly. AHHHH!
Ah, well…maybe next week…I DID still vote! LOL
What did you all think of the performances?

American Idol Season 8 (updated!)
By Lara | January 15, 2009
Well…I LOVE American Idol…and I am happy to see it reach season 8!
I am a little turned off by the whole swimsuit bimbo though. I mean it went on WAAAAY too long. my poor DH had a pillow over his eyes the whole segment…I am SO proud of him…LOL.
I just think it went on too long…I mean it IS a family show and she was quite hoochified! ROFLMBO! I was SHOCKED they let her through! Really. I mean Kara sang WAY better than miss hoocharama.
OK…LOL…on to something else…
Speaking of Kara…I am not sure how I feel about a fourth judge yet. I will have to let you know at a later date…
Funny Moment…
There was one guy who reminded me of Igor. He destroyed a Carrie Underwood song…we were cracking up…I mean rolling. I had to pause the show! LOL!
First night…Honestly, no one really stood out as a WOW factor for me…yet.
Second night I found a couple “so far” favs…
Um…I liked the guy who lost his wife…he looks like Robert Downey Jr. and I liked another girl…LOL…cannot remember her though! ROFLMBO! Oh, well…
Hopefully next week will bring more talent!

Merry CHRISTmas!!!!
By Lara | December 24, 2008
The angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” ~ Luke 2:9-14
Have a BLESSED day!!!!
Sincerely,

Update on Me and my Sickness Drama!
By Lara | December 12, 2008
I went to the doctor again yesterday since 10 days of antibiotics did NOT clear my ear so I could hear OR make my cough go away!
OK, so they cleaned my ears and I still could not hear out of right one…so the doctor looked again and said it is infected. She also said that the other doctor prescribed me with too weak of an antibiotic, and it did not clear the entire infection up…SO….I was given another “stronger” antibiotic. I took one of them last night and another this morning. I am to take 2 a day for 10 days…hopefully my ear will clear up in a couple days!
On to the cough…
(for those who do not know, last October I was hospitalized after coughing up a nice amount of blood. I was there for 5 days with what they called a viral lung infection that they could not explain…and that was the only explanation they could give. Since then, I have suffered with a persistent cough that flairs up nicely when I get even a hint of a cold.)
OK…back to what doc said…
She did an xray and cannot see anything “obvious,” other than the congestion in there, She said that the reason I may still be coughing after a year COULD BE that I still have a low level inflammation in my lungs that will require a breathing treatment regiment that could go on for 6 months to a year before I am fixed…or, I may have developed an asthmatic condition.
She wants me to go in for some blood work (when I am better from current illness) and set up an appointment with a Lung Specialist that she referred me to. He will be able to confirm or add to her “diagnosis” better.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
PLEASE pray for…
1. My right ear clears up so I can hear right again!
2. I get the cough thing worked out and it is nothing too serious and fairly easy to solve.
Thank to all that Pray!!
I am just SOOO OVER this! I mean enough already!
Oh, and another fun episode in the Velez carival of sickness…my teenager needs to go to the doctor now too…HOPEFULLY, we will at least be HEALTHY this Christmas since we will not be able to exchange gifts! THAT would be a blessing in and if itself! ROFLMBO! AHHH!
