I had to pick up 4 perscriptions for myself yesterday!

Honestly, I think that is the most I have ever had to pick up at once. I went to the doctor yesterday because I was getting more spots (what I thought look like Chicken Pox). I think this doctor thought I was nuts. It was great! So I had the first two dots, right? Well then I had some on my back and then under my boobs and now on my legs. REALLY WEIRD! So it freaked me out. First off the doctor yells at me for being off my Thyroid pills.. So she refilled that without even testing me. Then she starts looking at my spots. She has no idea what they could be. She keeps looking at them and she decides to just start treating me with a couple of different things. All of a sudden I have pills and creams that I need to take for 10 days. But she said that if they don't start clearing up by next week, or I start to get more I will need to come in so they can take a sample of on and get it looked at.. How crazy is that.. I told her that I called the nurse line and the nurse kept saying that it may be shingles, and I kept telling the nurse that I have had shingles and I know what that looks like.. this is not shingles. The doctor starts laughing and says, "That is not shingles". So who knows. I am really hoping it just goes away with all this crap she gave me.

America's Funniest Videos (AFV)

This is Owen's new favorite show. If you are ever down in the dumps just listen to Owen watch AFV. He cracks up so much you can't help but smile or laugh with him. I mean his laugh is the biggest belly laugh you can imagine coming out of him. It is so funny. I have now tried to make an effort to remember that AFV is on Sunday nights so Owen can sit down and have a good laugh. Last night Owen and Ryan were sitting there laughing together.. It was a pretty good sound to be listening to.

Crazy Hair Boy

Saturady afternoon I got a phone call. It was a dad of one of Owen's classmates. This boy Nicholas wanted Owen to go bowling with him. So we said that was fine, Owen wanted to go. After I got off the phone I asked Owen who Nicholas was (because I never heard about Nicholas). He says "Well, he has crazy hair." Nothing else. So I bring up pictures of Owen's class on the computer and I have Owen pick him out. Logan was with us and as soon as Owen picked out Nicholas Logan says "Yep, he has crazy hair."

Can you see me in Singapore?

The oppurtunity is awesome, but really, me in Singapore?? Oh boy.. So I had a great talk with two different co-workers at two different times. Last night I guess there was a meeting and my name got brought up. These two managers were basically fight over me (and they are not even my boss). My name was brought up in this context "Jessica is the only one that knows how to build these computers and she can save the company money if we send her out to rebuild them." How frickin crazy is that!!?? So here is my issue. Do I take it?? I want to, but I am SOOOO nervous working in front of the customer and working in a bunny suit. The other thing is the plane ride! OH MY GOODNESS!! They are saying I will be in the air longer then I will actaully be in Singapore. I would have to be drugged!! And going by myself! AHHHHH.. But I can't pass this up.. I may never be somewhere like that ever again.. I am not worried about the boys because I know Ryan would tell me to go. It makes me feel good that other departments are seeing me and what I do and appreciate it.

OH what a GREAT day!

I am so happy today. I got the mail just a few minutes ago and had the typical bill, bill, junk mail combo. But the thing that was great about one of those bills was that it was my student loan. As it stands right now, I have 2 student loans left. I decided to look at how much I have left. Do you know what it said?? I have $680 left! UNREAL. I have been paying a little extra every month, but not much. I took what was left and divided it by how much I pay every month and I would have 10 more payments left. I may have to pay just a little bit more every month now, just so I can see it leave us quicker. Now my other student loan is really close too.. I want to say it is right around 1000 dollars.. may be less.. I mean if I really wanted to I could just write a check and pay it off, but I want to keep making the payments. One more year to write off the interest, right?? Well I just had to post this because I am super excited about it!!

I have an issue

My issue is small but I feel bad putting another post up. But I have to do it.. This will be a venting post.. Don't have a lot of funny things from the boys.. However they were super excited about yesterday. I guess the lepercahun came to Owen's class room and made a huge mess, but he did leave candy for all the kids, and then escaped out the window. Boy he was excited about telling me that story. Logan also had a visit from the Lepercahun. He came through daycare's basement window and left candy and a piece of gold for all the kids.. I don't think he made a mess there.. But what was really funny was watching Owen and Logan both trying to tell their stories to each other. Owen is asking Logan what time the Lepercahun showed up, and Logan is just trying to tell Owen that he got a piece of gold. THEN when Ryan came home it was two stories being told at once. It was crazy.. That Lepercahun got them all worked up!!

Anyways.. Back to venting.. I love my job and I have for a long time. The one part I hate about my job is when I have no one to go to for help. I do like to figure things out for myself, but I am supposed to learn that I can ask for help. But what happens when I don't get the help?? Then what? Or people say they are going to help and then don't? Or if they don't communicate anything back to me?? So that is my struggle.. I can honestly say, that I do try to do too much.. It is my nature to help everyone. I almost work better when chaos is involved, but I hate hitting a wall.. So that is that.. I have vented, now I can move on..

Scrapbooking.. I am so excited for this weekend.. Honestly, I just can't wait to get in my car and start driving. Seriously I think I am bringing three bags (my whole blue luggage set duffle bag, little suitcase, and big suitcase). Is that too much?? I have my cricut stuff in the duffle bag, and then I figured I would fill the little suitcase with all my other stuff, instead of brining my scrapbooking bag. Who knows.. I just know I should have enough. I am going to be doing a mix of pictures. I have gone back in time and got all the boys 8x10 pictures from pervious years and I will do pages for all of those (6 months-last year), that part I am really excited about. I also found last years Easter pictures, so I will be using the Easter Egg stamp set. I may also try using it for other things (cards). I also still have vacation pictures.. So I see a lot of that coming into play. Anyways.. I am ready to go and I just can't wait!!!

We lost a WONDERFUL lady


Today Great Grandma Saralampi died. Oh it is still really sad, but she made it perfectly clear where she wanted to be and it was ok. I will personally miss her so much.
