Post Wedding Stomach Bug

My wedding was this Saturday......

It was beautiful and nice and a day to remember. I loved my day. However since Sunday around 2am I have been battling a stomach bug that has been kicking my behind and winning. I've been bedridden for 2 days. Between the bathroom and the bed has been my path. On the bright side, I have lost 5 lbs and I guess that's a plus. My mom keeps saying I didn't get cold feet before the vows so this is my version of it now. On my honeymoon, and my husband is taking care of me.

I have never felt this horrible in my life.

Myths...

         In my life, I have heard several myths. My family believes in weird ones. Well I guess it was more superstitions than myths.

1. If you knocked flowers over onto the ground that mean someone from the dead was trying to get in touch with you.

2. Walking into a spiderweb brings good luck (I HAVE NEVER wanted to be this lucky)

3. Sweep someone's feet with the broom, you will go to jail unless you spit on it. ( This one was just plain disgusting)

4. Eating fish eyes made you smart ( Never ate them, that could be why I struggled in math)


You name it., they believed it. I use to believe them until I got around my teenage years, and just came to the conclusion that my mom and aunts were just crazy.

Death

           I come from a big family. When you have a large family, you have alot of births and a lot of deaths. I have had my fair share of funerals in my lifetime. Death is so depressing. Especially if the COD isn't natural and expected, and pain free.
        
            I remember when my dog died, and seeing how much pain he was in. He was my baby!! Remy was his name and he was 8 years old. He was a pure bred cocker spaniel and all black. I had him since he was a little puppy. A few weeks old to be exact. He was my guy! He went everywhere with me. Friends knew that if I was coming over, Remy was coming with. He was my best friend. He was so funny. Eight isn't an old age for dogs and before I had him, I never really thought about dogs dying.

            I'll never forget the day he passed. Well it actually started the day before. It was very sudden and unexpected. Typical morning in the house and I am getting up and getting ready for school. It was my senior year in high school. (WOW- Realizing that was 10yrs ago is scary- Im  getting old!) Remy was usually always in my room or at the foot of my bed. Everyone was in the mornign routing of getting ready .My mom, dad and younger sister. Remy started walking down the stairs and crying while doing so. My dad and I are freaking oout because I never heard him sound like that. My dad picked him up and brought him down the rest of the way. He stopped crying and my dad took him for walk. He seemed to have snapped out of it, and went back to normal. So I thought.


          I worked at Buds in high school, and was at my job when my mom called me hysterically at work. She said he wasn't moving his legs so I rushed home. When I got home, he had moved to behind one of the couches and would not move. His back legs weren't moving and he just looked so sad. I picked him up and we took him to the Animal Hospital. We were there for a few hour, just waiting before they could tell us anything.

        I was so concerned. Come to find out, he has slipped more than one disk in his back. The Vet kep asking if he had fallen. We know he hadnt. The doctor told us to go home and come in the morning.

        In the morning, we went back to the hospital and he had gotten worse. He couldn't move anything but his head but he was so happy to see us. I was crying because the Vet said surgery wouldn't be an option because how injured he was. We had to put him down. I literally felt like my child died! It was one of the most depressing time of my life.

       A few weeks after he passed, his groomer called to see if he was coming in for his scheduled grooming. We let her know that he had passed and what happened. Two days after that, she called back and informed us that Remy had fallen off the grooming table while he was there. I was LIVID!i was somewhere between burning her shop down or protesting outside of the shop and calling the news station. She was very sorry and reiumbursed all of his vet expenses.

   
       I got another dog and I have had him for 10 yrs now, but I will always miss Remy. He was my baby! No, Mr. Priest DOES NOT go to Remy's former groomer.

This Week Random Blog - WEDDING PLANNING BLUES

This week we have a blog that could be about anything. So I guess I can talk about my wedding plans. I am currently married. I have been since August of last year. My husband proposed in December 2013 and we decided on December 2014 wedding date. Gave us a year to get ready! Surprise happened in March when I found out I was a few months pregnant. The baby was due in August so we still was going ahead with wedding plans for out December wedding.  Things got HECTIC. I never in a million would have thought that wedding plans was this crazy. No one could have told me this. There are so many little things that are involved. I never wanted a big wedding. I have never had the desire for a big Cinderella dream wedding. Never planned a wedding in my head. I wanted to go to the courthouse. I was fine with that. However, my dad is a pastor, and I was his first of four children marrying, and I realized I DID want my dad to marry us. That meant something to me. So we decided on a small beach wedding of 50. I was determined not to let the wedding plans get me stressed out. After all, I am pregnant, and big during the hot spring and summer months.

So many things was happening at once. We needed a bigger place, I was tired of renting, new daycare fees, my 3 year old needs love and attention, and my pregnancy was kicking my ass. I was talking to my realtor about finding us a new place to rent, preferably a home, and she started telling me that I should buy. It was the last thing on my mind. I hadn’t thought about buying a house for another two or three years. So I was like well tell me what to do. Next thing I know I am buying a house, carrying a baby, planning a wedding, and trying to make sure my 3 yr. old feels the attention and love he needs. He started acting out a bit when I got pregnant. On top of all this, I am still working full time at the Attorney General’s office.  I AM exhausted at this point. My plans for no stress went out the window the moment I made it. Me and my husband finally set down and decided that we wanted the house more than we wanted the wedding. So we pushed the wedding plans back to June 6, 2015. Baby was coming in August, and my husband still wanted to be married before we had her so he asked if we could do something, just us to, at the courthouse. I was fine with that. BUT what about our parents??? We decided to keep it a secret. So we went and got married on anniversary date 8-7-14, at the courthouse. To this day, no one knows we are married but he and I. Baby came end of August. We moved into our house in November.

We got back on track with the wedding planning in Feb 2015. This stuff is till hectic. I am doing something wedding oriented every single weekend. I am so ready for the day to come and go!!! It is in 18 days and I cannot wait for it be over! I more excited about the day after the wedding than the actual day .Yes I know I will enjoy this day and cherish it our memories forever, but OMG....   Wedding planning SUCKS

Poem Blog

Blog #13

One of my favorite writers/poets is Shel Silverstein. I have about 5 of his books. My favorite book by him is Where the Sidewalk End. I have memorized each poem in the book. I’ve had it all my life and I read it to my son and my daughter. Shel Silverstein was a great poet. One of my favorite poems in the book is Sick. It’s about a young girl who wants to stay in bed and not go to school because she is sick. She describes in depth how she is near death throughout the poem. She has every disease she can think of. Once she nears death near the end of the poem, she learns its Saturday. She is suddenly miraculously healed and wants to go out and play. I love them poem because we can all say we have tried it as well. I know I can. I have come up with some fevers and “sore throats” to try to get out of school. It never worked with my mom, but I sure tried it. If you ever get a chance, brag the book it is a GREAT book.

 

Sick

by Shel Silverstein 

Sick "I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more - that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue -
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke -
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my spine is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is -
what? What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is ... Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
