Dear Blog...I'm Blah...

Dear Blog...I feel blah...

Actually, that's not exactly what I feel, cause to me blah is just kind of a down -slash- indifferent -slash- slightly bored with the situation -slash- maybe tired feeling...

I feel OVERWHELMED...ya...that's it...

Do you ever stop and think...I WISH I WAS BORED??!!  Today is that day...I wish I were bored.  Just a little.  Don't get me wrong...I still have days that I don't get out of my pj's AT ALL...but it's still filled with...what do I have to do tomorrow, what am I not getting done today, what am I forgetting to do...ETC...

The two younger boys had ENT appts today to see if they needed to have tonsils and adenoids removed.  Oakley already had her appt, and has to have hers out, along with something done with her sinuses, I'm not even sure exactly what it is at this point..some surgical procedure. 

Parker has to have his tonsils and adenoids out...and to top it off, I had been noticing that he asks "what" a lot, and even when I whisper in his ear, he tends to not hear me.  Well, an hour later after doing a thorough hearing test, we found out that he doesn't hear at a certain frequency.  We don't know what has caused this, and his prognosis is to just watch and wait...thankfully...

Blazer doesn't have to have his out...YET.  He has trouble breathing through his nose, and is complaining of his throat hurting a lot, but he is only 3.  The longer we can hold off...the better.  And frankly, the thought of shoving meds down his throat doesn't sound that appealing post surgery...give the guy a couple years...

So in the meantime, since I have NOTHING better to do...Romy still has all of her appts, and will start her constraint therapy soon.  This is where we will cast her good arm to encourage her to use her "bad" arm.  This will consist of six hour a day treatments for two weeks. 

If anyone knows how to do this and the surgeries, and keep my other children entertained, keep up on my businesses, and keep my brain from exploding...the advice would be greatly appreciated.  I am out of ideas.  OH, and suggesting husband helps is out...he works 7 days a week...the poor guy....

WELP...that's a wrap.  If you don't hear from me in a few weeks...or so...please send help STAT....

Overwhelmed? Wow, I wonder why? :) You will be in our prayers, so much on your plate!

fwiw, Lily failed her hearing screenings for a while with loss in the middle frequency in one ear (yep, the "mom" frequency!") We made a point to make sure she was looking at us when speaking to her, and not yell at her as much for not paying attention ;) It has gotten better with the watch an wait scenario, I hope the same goes for you guys.
