Life - 24/7

Been way too long since I wrote anything.

My problem? Every time I sit down to write, something pops up: leaks in the basement (which found their way into our electrical box), yard work (can I just say that trying to remove 15 years worth of mulch lends to many stuffed outdoor bags, and a very sore back the next morning?), children not sleeping (playing Supernanny for one week can wear any sane person down) ....

You name it, I am doing it, have done it or will be doing it within the next 24 hours!

Life happens. Life has been happening.

I am hoping it will continue to happen .... but maybe at a more peaceful pace???

:)

I love my kids .... I love my house (but, have you ever seen the movie Money Pit? That is our home, seriously!) .... my job has even gotten a bit better.

Life is happening ... and it aint that bad.

Holy pain, Batman!

OMG ...

I have a bladder infection. Not just any old bladder infection, but a raging, nasty, horrible infection that is making me feel like my bladder is going to explode and disappear from this earth.

I started feeling the familiar feelings of bladder infection of the past on Friday. I was determined to not take antibiotics, as I always end up with a yeast infection and I so do not want to go down that road again.

So, I researched some homeopathic and health food sites and found this product: D-Mannose. This came with many reviews, most on the positive end of things.

I bought some ... not cheap ... but i figured it would be worth it if I could avoid antibiotics and yeast infection creams!

Well, I tried it, and as of yesterday at 3:00, I gave in.

I am seeing the doctor tomorrow morning at 8:15.

I can honestly tell you, I wish I would have called on Friday.

Being natural is great ... but bladder infections, yep, I will never again mess around.

This pain is the worst I have ever had (and I have had many over the years).

Seriously folks, they only way I would feel better is if I could spend the next 24 hours just sitting in the bathroom. Then and only then, would I feel a sense of relief.

But, since I cannot do that .... I will try and send my thoughts elsewhere while my bladder screams at me to rip it out from where it is hiding!!!!!!
